As a kid I remembered ILCO Company near where my Mom worked here in my city...Saw your lock so looked it up...Founded in 1888 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts in the United States, the Lockwood Lock company manufactured entrance door locks and padlocks, among other things, until 1975, when the company was purchased by the Independent Lock Company (ILCO), also of Fitchburg.

Let me start off by saying God Bless You as you ...... sneezed .... please make sure in your adventures to wash your hands well ! Stay Happy and Healthy and as always thanks for being adorable ☺👍

First , I gotta say I love your finger nails!!! After watching your videos I find myself thrift shopping differently. You are a great influence. Keep up the great work and love that you are repurposing your finds and keeping them out of the landfill and thus lost forever.

I’ll take your sincere interest in the items you seek over someone just looking to make a certain profit margin. Nothing wrong with reselling, but it’s nice to see someone get excited about history without only thinking of what they can make😊

Thanks Don! I think the first sale would have been the one with the reselling items... except they were all purchased by the time I got there!

Wow nice yard sales I would have bought all of the vintage kitchen stuff and the cards are beautiful have a great weekend 😊

I bought a small box of vintage books, super cheap. When I get them home, I find that several of the books have been turned into recipe books, and one was turned into a scrap book of witty quotes.

My Hubby is a Rover he was grunting when watching this video. He would have bought the whole whether in his size or not! Bob Stem was the coach for Pburg when my husband was in school. Long Tradition going to the Bon Fire! And Bless you my Dear

There are enough content creators out there providing- “what did it cost?, what will it sell for?” There are creators like yourself, providing the thrill of the hunt, the history behind things, and smiles and laughs along the way. We are looking for a little fun, not operational skills for running a resell business. That is what uniquely separates you from the pack. We do want you to make some income along the way. Personally and privately, that is your own business, as it should be.

Paper and Moose you are correct! Buying and selling is such a personal and knowledge based decision. There is too much of this BOLO crap out there. Here is what to look for if you want to go for the wallet or the “real” money on the table. Strike now while it’s hot. Score big! Get out of your comfort zone if you are ever going to be serious about reselling for a living, so I am told and advised. I am now more confused than at any other time in my life. I’ve just learned that the advice is inconsistent and usually rooted in greed. I would call most of it wagging one’s own tail.

There are TOO many of those KZread creators that are the ones like you said: "what did it cost?, what did it sell for and after the selling fees, what did I make?" out there already.! And just because they could make what they did, it sure doesn't mean that I could make the same!!! As for Renee, it's her sweet and honest self, taking us on the thrill of the hunt and especially the research and the history that she presents to us!! That's why so many of us LOVE her!

Well what she pays for things and then resales them for is interesting! Especially when you find a good deal. The thrill of the hunt is fun but if you pick up something on the curb and can resale it and make money that is a win win!. Rene once said she wants to get her subscribers up to a certain amount do she can do this full time so if some express the interest in knowing the prices, I certainly would provide the info!

Hi P M, I love the old cards & Valentine's, they are so precious! Found a box full of 20's & 30's ones at a yard sale for 2.00, just wonderful! Would'nt trade em for the world! Love your's sense of history, beauty, & sentimentality! Can't wait to see what's in the rest of the garbage bags!! Your fan, C R

Great finds Renee. I can hardly wait to get back at garage sales!! 😊❤🌻

Really like the old cards. I really thought there were more older ones than you bought. At least the glimpse I got of them. I love the idea of reusing the cards. I have saved every card that my children and husband have ever given to me other than some that were lost in a house fire we had. Luckily most of them were in a fire proof filing cabinet that kept them safe. Some things were so smoke damaged that we had to dispose of those. Thank You for taking us with you to the yard sales. Stay safe and God Bless

I love those Valentines cards so much. They are so cute and I also love that they were re-purposed and still in great shape. Great find for sure.

Well that sure was fun!Thanx for taking me along! I'm happy you got the flag, and old valentines! TFS Hugs!

Those vintage cards are so pretty and cute. Good score.

LOL...I sneezed right before you did. Too funny! Bless you! Love hearing the birds :)

Thanks for taking us to the garage sales with you. Half the fun is just going on the hunt!😺

I have never heard of the service star in the window . Very interesting how proud of there children families were in the past . We've definitely went the wrong way on this . Your lucky to see a flag flying in a front yard now . If I ever see one of those star banners for sale I'll be buying it .

Love all the cards. I probably would have bought the whole box of cards at 2 for .25 that is unusually cheap.

I like the fact your not focus on the value but more on the history and the value of its appearance of beauty . Money isn't everything and it's a shame people base the beauty and history on how much it's worth. Saving the past of our history is more important then making a buck.

Looks like you made out OK That was funny about the woman with the cards. We went to the flea market this morning, a woman had a tub of little toys, told me 25 cents each. I got it down so our girls could pick out one each for themselves. While they were looking the woman said “ you can buy the entire tub for $40, probably 50 pieces in it”😃 I gave her 50 cents and we got two rubber ducks

Love shopping with you❣️ Great finds

An old International Lock Company product. I like the old early combination locks. Have my late dad's high school locker combo. lock...from 1935. The "Piano" book look like it could have been interesting. "Bless You!" That bird is quite a singer..cute! I have a WW I window flag...it's made of silk. Those old cards look like the ones I have I got as a young whipper-snapper.

I couldn't help but notice the ceramic things . . . I wonder if anywhere on etsy, there's a section of just garage-sale-ceramics . . . Because etsy is online, people would not have to use so much gas money to go from garage sale to garage sale, looking for the perfect ceramic piece/ or bowl/etc. that matches their house decor. and/or their other cookware, utensils, dinner/breakfast/lunch-sets/etc. that they already have.

I know you have said you dislike Craigslist advertised garage sales. I agree with you as there's a lot of false advertising. Sales described as "huge" with only 2 tables of stuff. Saying it's a "moving sale" when it's just a reseller having their monthly sale. Using the "estate sale" moniker when it's not. And my experience this morning... Going at 7:30 AM to a garage sale advertised as starting at 8 AM to find a half-dozen people already there having sorted out all the good stuff. Garage sales are always random experiences. Whereas many have wasted my time with false advertising or retail prices, I've stumbled upon many with some terrific buys. For example, a few weeks ago I bought 15 Mad Magazines from the 1960s & 70s for $7 that I quickly sold on Ebay for $40 plus shipping. And that was around 9 AM when supposedly others had already been there.

Love yard sales, and they are slowly coming back to life where I live (KY) but, not quick enough for me! Yard sales are easy to social distance at: spread your stuff out in driveway/yard, and give people room to spread out while they look. Estate sales are harder. The nature of estate sales is they are usually an entire household worth of items so, are inside the home. I am going to my first estate sale of the season tomorrow morning and I expect there will be limiting of people at the door going in. We will see! Mask and car hand sanitizer at the ready!
