"Cleaned, packed and ready to go" - You look after your stock like you were going to keep it for yourself. I think your customers appreciate the care you take to provide them with the best possible item, in the best possible condition. Most resellers don't bother, and just jam them into an envelope wrinkled, not cleaned, and do the least possible work they can get away with. You are exceptional and I am sure it is appreciated.

eBay wants you to speak about your amazing organizational skills...girl's got skills!!!!

I do not use Instagram or any other social media. Therefore, I am thankful you are on KZread. Thank you! You are the first reseller I started watching about 4 years ago. I have learned a lot. Again, Thank You!

How wonderful to be recognized by eBay! You really deserve it. So inspirational!

Have a wonderful and safe vacation Karen and Roger! Agree, love the little kitten print.

Congrats 🎉 Karen..... After being a devoted subscriber, I'm still in awe to see how organized you are with your business. You certainly deserve this award! I enjoy watching you and Roger thrifting together. You're such a lovely couple. - Linda, Canada

I still love my LV reverse monogram *preluxscom* clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

WOW Karen! Ebay wants you to speak! That's wonderful!

Karen, I love how organized you are, no wonder you’ve been picked for this honour, so many valuable tips you can share and you’re so kind in how you treat people. Why don’t you go, and use this as a holiday with Roger? You can check out other thrift stores, and grow your channel while you’re at it! Sounds like an opportunity to me! ❤

I will forever love shabby chic. Such a classic beautiful way to decorate

So many clothing resellers could learn from you! I love how you care for the items you’re selling. I watch another reseller whose clothing is just shoved into bins, no cleaning first, sometimes plastic, but not consistently. A lot of times she can’t find things, although she’s gotten better about tote scanning her inventory. It makes me think twice about buying from her because I like to buy clothing that’s been taken care of. Anyway, I think you should consider eBay’s offer. What an honor to be asked to speak. I understand, however, that you have a lot going on & adding something else might be too much.

Congrats!! What an honor to be invited. Speaks volumes about your accomplishments. Enjoy your vacation, have tons of fun. TFS *L

On the Polish pottery bowl "Unikat" signifies that the design is higher in complexity than other pieces without the Unikat mark. The company is Ceramika Artystyczna. There are different levels of Unikat pottery designs. Under that is the signature of the artist, Jacek Chyla who created this design. The 408D signified the pattern. 248 is likely the shape number.

I absolutely love your channel and I am always excited to see when new videos are out with you and Roger ❤️ Congrats

It's been a long time since I've shopped this location of GW, it has changed a bunch. Good finds & even better solds.

Congrats Karen. You and Marita of Thrift &Thrive are the most organized sellers that I watch. Just don't go "Hollywood" on us 😊. Have a safe vacation.

Oh please consider the speaking opertunity. You have such a presence! You would be fabulous!

I hav the same situation re electricity in my booth. I use battery powered puck lights and or fairy lights and just leave them on and only need to change batteries once a month, and I have a little tag explaining why I’m using the battery lights. You can also purchase battery lights with a timer and set them to turn on and off at certain times if the store doesn’t want them on when closed.Total game changer for my lamp sales. 😊

Karen, That comment reminded me that available thru Amazon are rechargeable LED light bulbs that will screw into a lamp or a ceiling fixture. My SIL uses them in lamps in her home where there are no electrical outlets.

I am going to suggest that you put in small white battery operated string lights….you could string them across the top drawing the eye into your booth…..yes it would use up some batteries but with out electricity or access to light for solar it might be a good option

I myself love ❤❤pre-owned shoes!! I've always gotten blisters from new ones😮. You karen clean up 👆 the items soo beautifully. ❤❤❤you guys😂

Love the turquoise rimmed bowl❣️ Still blows my mind that things from the 90's are vintage!! I'm from the 50's! Check the briefcases. The Costume Jeweler has found beautiful Coach ones in GW and Red White and Blue in FL.

Oh my gosh GO!!!! It’s great opportunity.

Love seeing your Basement. Clean and organized. Some reseller's places look cluttered and not very organized. Some actually look like horders. Your's does not.

The “paper squares” are GOLD LEAF! 🤣

The booth looks good. Lots of inventory without being cluttered. I LOVE it when a wicker shelf can be for displays and for sale $ 🤑 Something for everyone is my strategy. 😊

I enjoyed this video it was jam packed with goodness. I moved from MD/DE but now live in Arkansas so it’s always nice hearing the towns I’m familiar with or have visited on the east coast. I have several booths here in Hot Springs, Arkansas I really enjoy it. I believe you and Roger would love it here. It’s about a 16-18 hour drive or a quick flight…lots of flea markets, lots of history, it’s a National Park, we have bath houses that utilize the thermal water, there are many RV parks, it’s a foodie’s paradise, lots of outdoor activities…I enjoy living in my little resort town. 😊❤ Thank you and enjoy vacation.

How exciting to be asked by eBay to a speaker, of course, Roger would be going with you. Have a wonderful vacation, you both have worked hard for it. Love ya and take care.

Yes! CA vacation with Roger❤

Oh. , it is definitely not a vacation lol… a TON. of work 😂

The "coal bucket" is a great addition if the buyer has a fireplace or wood stove. Great for removing ash. Lot's of fun today, thanks Karen.

I love going to the Booth with you 😉

Coal Scuttle would have been so great for those fire starter sticks or even kindling in my house, anyway, so I'm glad you grabbed it. When you mentioned that $600 sweater find and sale, i nearly gagged on my PBJ toast!! Really!!

Congrats!! 🎉Experience of a lifetime!! Go !!!!

Karen its called a Skuttle Bucket and it's a coal ash bucket. When you clean out your fireplace or woodburning stove. The ashes are swept into that bucket and then taken outside to be dumped. Good video! ❤

You are my FAV!! Congrats on the eBay invitation 😊 Thanks for stating that the Route 30 GoodWill is in Lancaster, we have another trip to PA coming up soon and maybe I can come to that one. Thanks for all you and Roger do❣️ Janet from Massachusetts 🦋

You are so organized. I’m amazed how you can find everything. Great video

Another great video!! Hope you can do a haul video soon!! Have a wonderful vacation!!

Great video, Karen. We would love to see y'all go to California. I never passed up an opportunity at work and never regretted it. However, I understand you have so much going on and things seem awesome. If you go, take us with you as always!💕💕💕

As I’m sure you know, you’re getting closer and closer to 100,000 subs!!!

Love watching you restocking.

Yes! Go for it!

I believe the tray from China was mimicking gold-leaf, which is applied in squares that can be seen in some antiques...

They don’t look like Princess House. Should you choose to go to California, think of the new thrifting stores.😂🥰

Always want to see going to the booth. ❤

The squares on the tray are imitating gold leaf and is the way you want it to look:-)

My mom always collected glass candlesticks and used them to display her vintage Christmas tree toppers! I’m with you on glass. I know nothing!

One of my local Goodwill shelves were packed just like the ones in this video. I have never seen them like that before. I did hear lots of complaining from customers of how much the prices have gone up. Maybe folks aren’t buying as much. I saw a pack of hair clasps that had the original sticker of 3.99 on them and the Goodwill price was $8!

How exciting! You certainly deserve the invitation. Hope you do it!!!

Hi Karen it’s been beautiful in uk today hope youve had some sunshine to lv Ann❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I love the pull shipping part of your videos!

Really enjoy these "pull shipping" videos. Please keep them coming!

You guys are amazing. Have a wonderful vacation 😀

Are you crazy?!? You have to accept the eBay invitation. What a wonderful way to be recognized and get more publicity for your channel. Go for it!

Oh my, you should definitely tKe advantage of the eBay invite! If nothing else, for the connections you will make.

Congratulations on the ebay honor! 👏 ❤ How nice to be recognized for all your hard work! Well deserved.

Great video as always! ❤

Ive learned alot watching your channel. Now im wanting to sell online. Probably not your capacity but im retired and i love going to thrift stores. I think thats awesome that Ebay invited you. Thats means your doing it right!😊

What i noticed about you and Roger is that you are so soft and nice to him and he is nice back.. it’s really sweet. A lot of couple are not very nice to each other so it’s refreshing to see this.. thanks for the video i am learning a lot about what to pick to sell.. i am in Australia so i dont think we have a Goodwill kind of shops but we do have Op shops but i feel they price things way too high..

Those planters in your booth are gorgeous!

I bought battery operated old-fashioned lightbulbs that screw into the lamp because I have an alcove with a desk in it and there’s no plug behind it. Got it on Amazon.

Wow, congrats, Karen, on the invitation from eBay! You Rock!

Congratulations Karen! I love your channel!

OK, I looked up the coal bucket for you and it is just called a Coal Scuttle. That GW sure was full that day, Karen. So many great stuff. Please keep us posted on the eBay conference in CA. Thank you for so much great content! Hugs and happy vacay!

The gold tray could sell in your booth. Nice to display some of your dishes,etc on

Love your shirt! Great colors on you. I have a set of the horse onyx bookends. Actually my daughter claimed them as I offer up my treasures because i’ve moved to a smaller dwelling.

Love the antique coal bin!! It’s beautiful even tho the decal is worn

That thing you had in your hand you didn't know what it was it goes in the center that goes up in your light socket before you put your light in or your fan in for decoration up there on your ceiling

Yes, I’d love to see your booth.

I do enjoy seeing your booth activity.

I have been watching your channel for awhile. I now wish to comment. ...You are a class act and I have learned so much about reselling from you. I'm a former Californian, enjoy your trip to CA! Gasoline and everything else is so expensive in CA.... Hope your expenses are paid😀 Can't wait to watch you are an excellent teacher.

You should go! Your channel it done so well! that gold tray is a NO! Wicker shelf beautiful ! We love to shop along with you and listen to your conversations, hahaha!

Happy Mother’s Day . And have a great vacation.

Great video today Karen.

My mom and I visited the booth and it was great. We took a picture under the rabbit hole sign. Happy Mother’s Day to you and to us for getting away to Lancaster for a few days!!

Congrats on the Award. You both deserve it. Always enjoy tagging alone on your shopping. Do you ever see any Jadeite? I am searching for the Tea Canister.

Great video Karen

Target sold something similar to that gold plastic tray. The gold coloring was made to look like it was laid down in squares mimicking gold foiled and it was done in an Asian inspired fashion.

Wtg Karen on the recognition from eBay. Love your channel. Thanks! Carrie in NS.

We want to see all of your items!

Have a great day🥰

Love your channel. I am hoping someone will paint something beautiful on that Coal bucket, maybe a barn with scenery.

All of the sold items were basically right up front and up top for you to grab! Haha that was lucky! I’m constantly digging through bins and of course the item I look for is in the very bottom of a big bin 😅

I love Henriette Ronner-Knipp prints! She was quite a big deal in many ways in her day. I have the same print but larger. It's called Parson's Kitten. The Victorian Trading Company sold a lot of that type of stuff. That was one of my favorite catalogs.

Oh you have not sold those farm style porcelain kitchen canisters. I have the matching salt, pepper, butter dish and sugar/creamer set. I wish I lived closer. I am probably 6 hours from Lancaster PA in OHIO. Have a great vacation!

Sometimes it’s worth getting some cute items for your booth as long as you can still sell them for what you paid plus some it’s worth it…those wood signs were sweet

I would use the coal bin as a planter 🙂

Congrats on the offer to speak at Ebay event!

Yes, how cool I’m in California would be fun to meet you
