Your organizational skills are incredible. I just love when you do all your ship outs it’s like a real life retail store down there.
You’re so organized and professional. Such a talented business woman.
Hi Karen, wow, a disco tub with changing lights ! Add some fun music from your favorite years . This will be your special time 😂❤ 😅 also your bedroom looks to be relaxing after a busy day of thrifting. Thank you for including us in some of your personal space . I am so very happy for you and Roger. ❤❤
Your bedroom is amazing! Getting Roger has made you look way much younger and beautiful! Wow, so happy to see you and your happy life.
Hi Karen, when your pulling your items, your voice is clear, and you explain, and detail, along with photos/ plus price…it make us feel like we’re watching a show/ so relaxing…thank you🤗
Jos. is an abbreviation for Joseph. Like Wm. is abbreviation for William and Geo. is an abbreviation for George. I just thought it was funny you were saying "Jos A." There are periods in the name Jos. A. Bank
Can't go too far wrong with beige. Can always bring in some colour with art and accessories.
Karen, Can you screw some hooks into a ceiling beam to hang the packing materials? Then you can still have storage on the floor area. Or maybe above the sinks?
Super idea!
Great idea
I was going to say the same thing so glad that you did because by the time I got to the end I totally forgot about it
Yup hang those styrene peanuts from the ceiling
Your Bedroom and Bathroom looks very peaceful and upscale...wonderful choices!!
A tip...I put used dryer fabric sheets on the back side of my fan with it running. It helps filter the air and smells nice.
Karen and Roger love the bedroom and the bathroom, my taste 100%. Exactly what i was expecting the bathroom to look like and love everything that is in there. The bedroom looks so cosy and i just love it. Hope you're both enjoying married life.Take care and continue to enjoy what you do.
Everything in the new rooms look lovely. Wow Disco Tub! Have fun.
Disinfecting Shoes: you mentioned using Clorox wipes. Have you ever looked into using spray products like those used in Bowling Alleys for rental shoes? Amazon lists several like: Microban and Purfy and had them on sale for Prime Day. It might be faster and be more effective, as far as coverage inside the shoes.
The bedroom looks serene, and the tub is your own personal spa beautiful
That rug in the bathroom reminds of a handmade rug my grandparents have.
I love the bedroom and bathroom 😍 that chip and dip set is everything 😍🙌🌸
Love the sold videos. Always curious what other people are selling. Will you be doing a clothing haul soon? Miss seeing those videos. Love the "disco tub", :)
Lighting: watching you turn on individually basement lights, coupled with past comments about having darker areas after the shelving shift, leads me to make a suggestion. If/when you have additional lights installed, talk to the election about adding centralized light switches at/near the bottom of the stairs. It isn’t usually too much work to interrupt the wiring between the electrical panel and one light fixture on each breaker circuit and add a bank of switches.
You don’t loose your ability to pull a string, to turn off individual lights (once the switch is on) that are rarely needed, but do add the convenience of one group of switches all located in one box, to power up all the daily used lights at once.
It can usually be done by running 1 wire from the first light box over to the new switch location, for each circuit, without disturbing the rest of what is there.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re so good at what you do. The care you take with the items you sell along with your clean organized basement is very impressive. I could never deal with that much merchandise!!!!
For the packing materials, I’d get a large cloth bin on wheels like they use in hotels for laundry? Dump all the packing materials into it and roll it to any corner you have space at the moment.
Thank you Karen for sharing to us how you send out your bought items! I learned new things today!😘😍
I am so happy for your and Roger You are an amazing couple. Good Luck for the future. I love your videos!!
I was hoping you would show the bedroom finished. Looks great! You guys are so tidy. It’s inspirational. I don’t want to invade your privacy but I would be interested to see how you organized the closet.
LOL, "Show us your closet", that would terrify me if someone asked me that because I'm not nearly as tidy or organized as Karen!
@@joannecraft-lane8660 haha...same.
@@joannecraft-lane8660 Her brain was made for this! As she was in her Mama’s womb God thought “She’s going to have a resale business & CZcams channel, so I need to give her an extra dose of organization skill! 😁
Hang the trash bags with the packing material from the ceiling with a small slit cut near the bottom of the bag. You can pull the packing material out the slit and have room to store things under the hanging bags.
Hi Karen! Could you do a folding video. Do you use tissue paper?
Roger and Karen, I just love all yall have done to yalls new home, absolutely beautiful from top to bottom. Another thing you can put on the fan downstairs is a dryer sheet. I'm so happy for you both. I agree with you about people are shopping more at home or while they are at work, to keep from getting out and moving around in this heat. I'm in Alabama we are having a heat wave here, running in the high 90s with heat index going up to 110. Best wishes ❤️ to you both.
Hi Karen, Possible solution for the dark area in your basement. Try the Energizer Puck Lights, there are other brands but I have this one -so I can say the light is quite bright. They are small disc shaped lights that use batteries. You can mount them to a flat surface or even just place on a shelf. The offer very good lighting and also comes with a remote control. Great video and great sales.
I love shopping goodwill videos with you. You have great tastes and good knowledge.
Congratulations Roger& Karen
May you be blessed that every day you share together be blessed with the commitment & love you felt on your wedding day; 🥂 to your happiness. Karen, I’m avid follower/friend of lavender clothesline on CZcams & eBay, checking your store daily. Watching/enjoying your video today & surprise…you pulled an item I purchased, what I are the odds of that with the volume you do.
Your low stocked goodwill store is no where near how low stocked the 5 goodwill stores available to me,compare that mine are always stocked with less than half of what todays store had & most items are chipped, cracked, missing a head, hand or foot. Clothes are ripped,stained &faded. You are soo lucky that the state/area you live in has great thrifting/ wonderful items & variety. I keep saying , plan a thrifting vacation & go where thrifting is the treasure hunt Karen always speaks of…One day😊
Displaying Stock on Personnel Shelves: I also put pieces I really like (wall art, carvings, duck decoys are some current pieces) on display until they sell. W I do, I just code the Custom SKU Block on the listing as: On Display or On Display in Office (or whichever location it happens to be in). 😊
The vintage Chip & Dip set was worth the stop into Goodwill! I can see John Travolta in the bathroom danceing to Saturday night Fever while the 🪩 lights blink. Lol
Just love your work. So happy for you and Roger. All the best for your future together. I have just restarted my EBay this year , after a break of 15 years. Forgot how much I enjoyed the work. We are retired but need the extra so we can holiday abroad once a year..xx
I love how organized you are...can you (or have you done) do a video on your process..for example: a) buy a clothing item, it gets washed, steamed?, pics taken, bagged, & listed
b) pair of shoes...
Blessings & Thank you for sharing!!!
There’s not enough interest 💜😁
@@lavenderclothesline I would love one short of you folding and putting in bags.,,
Oh my! Your home turned out lovely! Love the bathroom! That tub❤
You are a delight! Ty, Karen! ❤❤❤
Congratulations on your marriage to Roger, I wish you both the best. We just had Terminix come this morning to spray for tiny ants. The guy also left us some ant crack as my husband calls it. Works wonders.
I always just use cinnamon and sprinkle it all around the doorways from the outside as well as on the window sill in the kitchen. I've also found that taking some dish detergent and putting it in a spray bottle with some water that all I have to do is spray and all the ants die and so do the flies
The first summer in my new home, an army of carpenter ants poured into my home from the corner of my sunroom. My grandmother (aged 95) told me to mice some powdered sugar and boric acid together and set it in a shallow jar lid. The ants took the sugar/boric acid mix back to the colony and it killed them with in 48 hours.
Hi Karen, it struck me as comical at approx. the beggining of the video you
showed us how ya'll sold some of Roger's stuff and yep there was the poker table.
Funny that you ended the video with playing cards and using your colorful chip n dip set.
First thought was "but where are you going to play cards" LOL.
You sold some beautiful items, way to go. Glad your having great sales. Cya soon.
I like the Community Aid thrift that is right down the road from that Goodwill better. I also ate at that same Panera this past Tuesday. I did score a wool Ellen Tracy coat and a gorgeous tweed Donnybrook coat at that same Goodwill for 2 each this week so I was happy. It was my first thrifting trip in Lancaster since having a Total Knee Replacement 3 weeks ago.
Love your horse book ends
It always impresses me how well you take care of your inventory. I know so many resellers who could learn a whole lot from you! I’ve watched resellers who have inventory shoved in drawers, closets, dirty basements & garages. It makes me not want to buy anything from them because I’m not sure how/where the item was stored. Seeing you care enough to cover your inventory with plastic, store things in plastic bags, & covered bins & the additional effort you make to keep things at a stable, temperature & in low humidity makes me totally confident that anything I would buy from you will arrive in great condition! Thank you! Your home is beautiful. Many blessings being sent to you, Roger & both of your families, which is now one big family! 😊❤
Received my cat sweater today and I love it. Thanks Karen.
The economy is doing better than expected and consumers are purchasing more.
I have a Disney collection. I'm using my Google Lens to research. The Black diamond VHS tapes are very valuable
Maybe you can hang your paper and packing peanuts from some sort of dispenser over your shipping table? Or over your boxes?
Storage Bins: Back when I worked for an auction house, I would buy up 1 or 2 “Remaining Lots” each auction and select those with good quality bins. I’d buy the lots without looking closely at the contents, just for the bins. For $10-25 per lot, I might get 10-15 bins. The contents were like opening packages Christmas morning. Back then I needed large numbers of stackable bins for emptying Storage Units and buying Estate loads each month.
Lidded bins made transporting the contents easier to stack in my enclosed trailers. Though I source much less these days, I still watch for on-line auction lots that include good bins, because my favorite mid-size bins run $20 each these days. 🙂
What online auctions?
@@mariaroldan4200 Hello, in my area west of Seattle, we have a few local auction houses, as well as some nationwide auctions that will mail small items (usually about the size of a Medium Flat Rate USPS box, but some will use UPS or Fedex too). Those Sellers either go out and set up sales for estates and folks who are retiring or moving away or they take general consignments from a variety of separate people, to build an auction. Some companies do the auction set ups, but use other "Host" sites to run the sale locally or Nationwide.
Some of the auctions are for larger items, which are usually local pick-up only. Some are strictly listings for small mailable auction lots or individual items. Before the pandemic there were also auction houses that were hybrids. They had an in person crowd attending the auction, as well as on-line bidding at the same time. The crowd competed with those on-line buyers. Small items could be mailed, while larger items went to those in person bidders. Which all such auctions you want to watch their specific terms about what they will ship, how they indicate it and what it will cost to ship it out.
One of the Nationwide auctions currently running is Max Sold. Another is Auction Ninja. Both of those are "Host" sites, which are web sites that manage the bidding and payment processing, but the actual lots are set up and held by other sellers/companies.
In our local area, we also have a few sites like Sound Auction Services. Their auctions tend to be a mix of large and small physical items. They will ship the smaller items/lots, but not the large.
Hope that helps.
Brian
I love how organized and clean you keep everything. It's fun watching your videos!
You need some overhead storage that you can pull down for your light weight packing materials.
Chip and dip bowl!👍🏻👍🏻
Love the Bedroom❤
Beautiful on your addition💜
Love, love, love that chip and dip set!!! I've still got my Simone game from "years" ago! 😉 That tub with lights...😍!!! You're living the dream Karen!! Say, "Hi" to Roger for us!!!
we would rather see u at home than goodwill anyday!!!
Beautiful addition. Great job
I always enjoy your videos so much
Definitely less is more in decor. Calms my mind without clutter.
Why did you not keep the stainless steel restaurant cart? We bought a red card at Harbor Freight. Like a dolly, every home should have a cart! Love ❤️ your videos! Thank you!
Could use to pull shipping;)
I thought for sure that she was going to keep the cart
I have one I never use 😂
@@michellelee5163I have one I never use, it’s too much work to push it all over the basement 😂
Beautiful rug!!!
BEAUTIFUL Nice designs - thanks for sharing.
I also love your shipping videos.
I just love your videos, I enjoy watching
Great video Karen. Love that tub!!! Woo hoo
Hey Karen! The master suite looks like something out of a magazine! You are so talented! Lisa's daughter is going to love the tub with the disco lights! Regarding the TV/VCR combo...we had a small one when my granddaughter was a toddler. That little thing was like her own private movie studio! The 'TeleTubby' videos were the best babysitter ever! Lisa's daughter will soon be old enough to babysit for folks. Are you sure you dont want to hang on to the tv/VCR combo and all those Disney tapes? She would be the most popular little babysitter ever!
lovely design,, bedroom of dreams
Thank you, thank you. 😊 I love your pulling and shipping videos.
Your beadroom looks beautiful, calming, relaxing and functional.
I love the horse head book ends. I still mourn the big brass horse heads you said no to at a flea market awhile back. They were only $80 and were twice the size of your horse heads. They were intertwined. Probably would have been a fortune to ship though. I even looked for them on eBay by another seller but saw nothing like them!
Way to Go on your remodel! Your space rooks very nice and comfortable. So So happy for the both of you! Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos❤
Thanks for sharing
Hi Karen ,your bedroom looks lovley sending lv to you both Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
I have the same small tv/vcr set. Thought id need to throw out. GW wont accept it. I had no idea it would sell!!
I got a kick out of you finding that pretty little pot with lid in your living room. I hope you could hear us laughing along with you!!! 😂
I had a storage issue also. I used nets and hung them like hammocks close to the ceiling and stored my packing material. It worked out pretty good. Just an idea.
For some odd “reason” here in California (Sacramento) they stopped doing color tag discounts. Ever since covid hit & reopened there have been no discounts other than Tuesdays & Wednesday 10% off for seniors only. To top it off there prices are ridiculous most of the time…
Here in Sonoma County they started a centralized plan where all donations go to one central place where they distribute from.
Before Covid, each store kept their own donations and you knew where to go for the better clothes.
Now, they’re all simply junk. Very weird.
Women’s Plus sizes are usually 14-16W (X), 18-20W(XX), 22-24W(XXX). So, a 16W is not the same as a Ladies 16. The noise of your box fan was so quiet I think you could leave it on during videos. Yes, plastic comes from oil. Oil is refined into ethylene and propylene gases, which are then added back together into polyethylene and polypropylene and other plastics. Maybe your sales are up simply because your viewers loved seeing the moving/remodel/wedding videos and then went to your eBay to support you & Roger.❤❤❤
I had that exact TV/VCR combo in the grandkids playroom. No cable connection, video only. They are all grown now. That long ago. 😊
I once had that same Christmas kitties pillow, and donated it to Goodwill (I live not too far from you, so it's possible it went to a Goodwill where you shop, if you didn't buy it at a yard sale). Wouldn't it be funny if it were mine?!?! I love your bedroom. And I also noticed that storage bins have gotten so expensive!
You are just amazing. Soooooo organized!!!! Please come to my home and straighten out my mess!!!! Ha Love your videos.
I just turn the camera on cuz there’s no planning anything! Oh how I love you guys 💜
I have a suggestion for you. Hang your light-weight packing material bags from the ceiling or any other packing light-weight materials from ceiling!
Greenmade brand 27 gallon storage bins are on sale at Costco for $7.50-a real bargain. Love that tub!! 😊💦
My sales have picked up as well
someone in one of the FB groups I belong to said it had to do with some promotion amazon was doing which ended in early July
I think ppl want to Bless you as a Wedding Gift ! We like you & Roger, you’re a Sweet Couple ! 😉😘🙏🤙
It reminded me of the electronic game Simon.
I think is because of your marriage and people who follow you! I did sell 2 Johnny Was tops in one day! And another one a few days before! Caching!!!
Some plus sizes start at size 14 also.
Lord. When I think that I sent my TV/VCR combo to the goodwill 😀
Years ago I worked a part-time retail job at a store for plus sized women. It was 14 and up.
Your new addition to your house is beautiful. I so enjoy watching your videos. Why don’t you try hanging hooks in the ceiling beam where are you don’t walk a lot and then hang your bags of peanuts from them so they’ll be up off the floor and out of the way.
😂Looks like my Goodwill!
I've been picking up bins at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Lots cheaper!!!
Karen- Just curious why you don't have all of your lights on one switch for ease of turning everything on. Love your videos! :)
I cover my clothes with light cotton sheets that I am buying in Goodwill . You can wash them instead of throwing away
I dont know if you had the outside mulched. Ants can come in from the mulch. We had this issue and the ants were like a river coming through the living room. We called Ehrlich, they sprayed inside and out and found the nest in the mulch. I was so thankful for them. I was actually vacuuming piles of ants with the central vac which thankfully had a heavy bag inside.
I think any number in double digits is considered plus so size 10 and up is considered plus
Hi Karen, why don't you use your garage for your shipping items, that will give you so much more room for you and Roger
About the Pyrex. PYREX in all caps is the vintage good stuff that can be used freezer to oven. The new version is pyrex in lower case. This pyrex is not made in USA & it has been known to shatter when used in the microwave or when change of temperature is too quick.
16:33 Why do you want to stop selling women's jeans? I love wearing my jeans and have bought several pairs on eBay
The biggest reason im asking is because im getting ready to try to sell on eBay, so im watching all of your videos so i can learn from you❤
Mine too
