You work so hard George and it benefits all of us so greatly that don't know how to navigate and add content like you do it's amazing how much I've learned in two days of binge watching your videos it's incredible thank you so much
I'm so glad! That's my goal, I want folks to enjoy their collecting (and other things they see) more and have more fun with it
George, I loved this “what sold” video. And a want to say, when it comes to the sensitive items that have the potential to be offensive to some, I think you handle these things in a very respectful way. Both with your reaction to EBay’s inconsistency, and the appreciation to the history behind the former normals which are (thankfully) no longer normal. I really do think you do a great job to realize the importance of this history in a reverent and understanding way. I’m in the camp that values this attitude, and yet I can see and understand the flip side where some can be offended, and want to be respectful of that group as well. Long comment to say, “bravo” to your diplomacy. 💚💚💚
Thank you so much for understanding! I feel it is important to not sweep such things under the rug, it's a fine line between denial and not wanting to hurt feelings.
In my shop, I sometimes sell German WW2 memorabilia with a certain image on it. I do not at all subscribe to Hitler's philosophy, I just believe in preserving history. Interestingly enough, I have found that the majority of the buyers of this merchandise are of the Jewish faith. They also believe that history should be preserved so that chapter is never repeated.
When they came for the soap ads I didn't say anything because I was clean...
I had a pin pulled by eBay. A soldier in my family no doubt found it on the battlefield. I wasn’t being racist. It was a piece of history.
It's a hard thing. I've found the same thing with a lot of WWII memorabilia, the people collecting it are usually doing so to demonstrate what they overcame!
If I were Jewish, anything with a reminder of Hitler would be the last thing I would want to look at. Not being Jewish, it's the last thing I want to look at. But that's just me. Obviously, others feel differently.
@@twistoffate4791indeed, I understand the atrocities occurred and I wish to never see it happen again, but I also understand that there are people who don't believe or understand the horrors if the holocaust. Evidence of such times are important to prove to the latter people that this did happen.
I agree with you though, I have absolutely so desire to own or look at such reminders of a disgusting treatment of fellow humanity. 😢
I liked your rationalization on starting bids and reserves.
It's interesting when it works and when not
Gray walls, gray trim, grey floors, grey furniture…I am waiting for this whole fascination with grey to go away. Give me color!
It'll make a nice neutral background for color to pop against at least! Truthfully the sterility has a lot to do with the obsession with cleanliness during our recent pandemic...now that it's abating, people are wanting more verve in their decor
As Maxwell Smart would say... "Missed it by that much!"...lol😉 ....I'll watch the replay, so not to worry George! Oh, and by the way, CONGRATS on the recent victory in the thrifter battle! I was so happy for you and I'm Team George all the way! Tee was awesome too and I liked some of her finds, as well. I learn so much from people like you and Tee...It makes collecting fun & interesting. Have a great week dear George...hugs from Canada, eh🥰
Have to get that "eh" in there, or else I can't call myself a Canadian...lol 😂
Oh thank you! I really liked Tee and I will be watching her channel too. It was a fun battle!
Ebay's policies are so inconsistently applied. I once had a snuff bottle yanked - a snuff bottle! - and had to basically beg for it to be reinstated (so long as I said it was empty and for collectors only). Never mind that so many others are out there. Ah well. Thanks for another great video. :)
Oh I know! It doesn't bother me that they have policies, it bothers me that they are inconsistently applied when you know the algorithm can pick out the same words over and over
It’s history, regardless. It is a reminder of where we were to where we are .
Great video George! Thanks for sharing!
Years ago I would resale glass….I used bubble wrap and peanuts…I would try to leave 2 inches around the piece and double box with peanuts and insure all glass. But with todays shipping costs I’m sure that would be pricey.
Double boxing might have to be resumed with how the post is destroying things again
Watch the beginning of Ace Ventura Pet Detective….That’s how Most of our delivery services handle packages.
I remember one time I had a delivery from UPS…I lived in a condo and it was Spring time. So my front window was open and the truck was right in front of my condo. I could hear the UPS guy cussing and banging and throwing packages around in the truck. Lucky my item was in one piece when he tossed at my front door too…..
I do remember that scene, lol. I laughed heartily!! But it does make one wonder...
No kidding, it's awful
Enjoyed this video. Fabulous
EBay like most things anymore is overly ridiculous in trying not to offend people in the world we live in today. I'm black and the Gold Dust Twins do not offend me in any way, shape or form. I understand the context in which the advertisement took place and I think things like that should be preserved for historical purposes. Good Lord....🙄
Hi, Dayna! Thank you for saying that. I'm concerned about how black people feel about these items, but the black folks I've met all seem willing to have a real conversation about them. I've honestly only had hysterical reactions from (guilty feeling?) white folks.
"conditioned through media"
This was so interesting. I wonder if it would help to label the boxes as “FRAGILE”.
Unfortunately, the word we're hearing is marking them FRAGILE actually makes them a target. I think the important thing is to insure more expensive things, once the post office realizes they have to pay if it breaks then they're more careful
It's great seeing real prices and the amount of real interest in pieces 👍
Thanks! That's definitely why I do this
Shame about the Fostoria piece! No match for the mailman.
Great information as always!
TY!
I always enjoy watching your videos. As a reseller myself, I learn so much from you! Thanks!😜
Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad to help
I always learn so much from you. 😊
Loved seeing your sales (& hearing your pointers & info).
Thank you, George.
My pleasure!
Interesting thoughts on the black Americana Georgie! Social media is very sensitive these days.
It's an interesting line we walk in this business! I don't ascribe to the stereotypes of the past, but they did exist and still in some quarters. As such, I see the value in preserving these items for posterity
I am a white woman who acquired a print of 24 little blackbirds-black kids in a tree. I didn’t really want it and I didn’t want to take a chance it would go to a racist person who might think it was funny. I donated it to an African American museum in Grand Rapids to be used as a demonstration of racism that was so accepted not that long ago.
What a great solution. Your post brings up an important issue for some of us, which is avoiding having these items end up with people who use them to denigrate others because of their ethnicity or faith. The sister of my late uncle by marriage was murdered by the nazis, so I find nazi memorabilia especially offensive, consequently, I completely support eBay's policy. However, I agree that eBay has done an abysmal job in providing clear guidelines for sellers and developing a consistent and functional algorithm for flagging these items before they are listed.
@Tim Hazeltine Exactly! eBay is entitled to set policies they feel will protect they and their customers from harm of whatever sort. It would just be nice if they would tell us what those policies really mean, when I read their list of what was offensive I was still left scratching my head as to why mine was...but the other 20 items like it that they sold and collected commission on wasn't? If Gold Dust Twins are not allowed, then the algorithm clearly could be programmed to tell you that before you list, not after they've already collected your listing fee.
@Cheryl Mellblom I agree, Cheryl! Donating to an appropriate place is a good solution.
I personally don't like the Mammy and Black Americana stuff. I have started to send items I find to the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia to preserve it.
That's fantastic! Exactly the right place for it to go. I'm glad to know their name, I know of a lot of the African-American museums but they understandably want to express a lot of other Black experiences, not just the negative...a Jim Crow Museum is a good idea for people to understand how pervasive the programming was
That transfer embroidery baby quilt was cute, but ... the northWest is probably a good idea. The Gold Dust Twins ad ... I could have told you they'd take it down. They only take it down if it's yours; if someone else lists it, it goes through. Guarenteed. Don't relist it.
I won't, I am willing to find other places to sell items rather than taking on eBay.
Enjoy the sold videos.
Thanks! I'll have more to show soon
I ought to but I don’t think that I can handle eBay. I’m very reluctant. My bad I’m sure 😞
I sold my entire Longaberger collection of baskets on ebay many years ago. Sold a few smaller pieces of their pottery on ebay too. The bigger pieces I sold locally to a mother & daughter who were still enthusiastic collectors. But ebay's format was different then, and it seemed easier & less complicated. Everything changes, I guess, but I think I'll just stick to buying the occasional item on ebay.
No that's fine! It's not for everyone, it has pros and cons and they are both very real
Hi George!
Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy them.
Did you double box the piece that broke?
I confess, I did not. I realize the Post Office wants that from us. Unfortunately, it makes the packages much heavier and customers complain about the expense when we do that, so I packed it with inches of bubble wrap. If it had been the bowl that was broken, I'd have figured it was my fault...but they broke the stem through 4" of bubble wrap, I don't even know how that happens
How would you decorate a home if you had a alotsbof different things, styles, etc?
I've always been very eclectic, I group similar items in vignettes, group items by color and find other ways to make disparate things seem to go together. I also have learned (at home, my mall spaces still need this treatment) to put in all the things I think I want in a display and then remove about 10% of them to make it more congruous and less crowded
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you
I wonder if ebay's censorship is based on someone reporting an item, rather than their own team?
It seems very random, it's a matter of what the algorithm catches and questions. They tried to pull a camel inkwell one time because the algorithm was sure I was selling cigarettes!
Out of curiosity, why did you list the Oz books with economy shipping rather than media mail? Since they're books shouldn't they qualify?
Media is not insurable and I've had books just disappear that way. If the customer asks I give them the option of media mail at their risk
Censorship is always bad. So are Life magazines no longer allowed to be sold? Many have illustrations like that or "worse" (I don't find anything wrong with them at all but for those who do). eBay is a terribly unfair company towards its sellers so maybe it should work on its own behaviour before deleting our history in the name of virtue signaling.
Well, eBay seems to be unclear about what it is currently. They're pushing for people to sell more luxury goods (to raise their sales), but they have high reserve fees and other things that discourage selling same. ???
It would be more fair if they banned every listing that didn’t meet their “standards”, but it’s seems to be more selective, as if they only ban when someone complains.
@@silviahigh Incompetent algorithm bots.
💖
Wouldn't know an antique if he fell over it.
Not sure what this is regarding? Truth is, we don't encounter so many true antiques (century old-plus) these days, and the market is really focused on 20th century right now
Maybe because you said African American because not all black people are from African decent. ?????
