Thank you!!

I'll have to look that name up, it's a new one to me! Thanks!

I think I had heard that before about the lack of copyrights in that period but I had since forgotten. Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Wow!! I thought our prices were pretty high compared to most places but yours sound yikes 😬 I’m glad you can at least live vicariously through my videos then 😂

@@MidCenturyWasted to give you an idea, that purple art glass handkerchief vase would have been priced at $29.99 minimum. And believe me, I appreciate the opportunity to shop along with you and see at least SOME reasonable pricing!

@@EclecticInTexas dang! That’s excessive.

Blake will be happy to hear he has a fan 😂 He’s in most of my “regular” videos which right now are the videos from Oregon. It gets a little confusing mixing these thrifty quickies into the mix, I know. I’m trying to figure out how to make my different content series a little more clear. But he’s in all the Oregon trip ones! 😁 As for showing the prices, most of the vintage resellers on KZfaq show what they paid for things and I don’t mind doing it. It’s good to show why I won’t buy something if it’s too expensive to educate other new resellers who might be watching. That’s how I learned when I was first starting out, by watching videos. I think as long as I continue to ask fair market value for things, not way above what it’s worth, it doesn’t matter that I got them for a “bargain.” But my markups are generally speaking way less than any store that sells new merchandise. People understand that’s how this works. I have to make a profit in order for this to be a viable business. Every store marks up their merchandise way over their cost of goods. That’s how they stay in business. Sure Target or Walmart isn’t exactly advertising that their $15 shirts cost 10¢ to make 😂 So I know it’s a little different. But most people like to see the amazing bargains we can find for the vintage things, too. That’s the entertainment value… wow that thing worth $200 only cost $10! Etc. But as always, anyone is welcome to try to find these things on their own for the thrift store price. Sourcing these things is hit and miss and you can easily look for years for something specific and never find it. I’m also a collector and I never care what a reseller paid for something. I’m happy if they made a big profit off of me. If they found something I’ve been looking for forever, I’m willing to pay the fair full price for it. Anyway, that’s my view on the whole thing, but I appreciate your thoughts on it too!

@@MidCenturyWastedThanks from the bottom of my heart for your clarity on the situation I was curious about. For you to spend your time responding to me in a positive and timely fashion is so awesome. I’m a collector/borderline hoarder of way too many things that I have inherited from my father. He is so special to me, and he was a major collector in of vintage and antique items. I learned a lot from him about all of this unique pieces that he left for me. In his last few years I was able to spend quality time with him, as his caretaker and only child. The stories behind each item is so special and I have no idea how I’m going to be able to part with his stuff. Do you have any suggestions for me, in regards to the sentimental aspect of his stuff that also have enormous value to others. I want to hold on to everything,however, as an only child, I’m stuck on what should be the first step in organizing the stuff. ❤

That's not their business model. They're a for-profit secondhand store and very upfront about it. Not every thrift store MUST be a non-profit. I also shop at Amazon, Target, grocery stores, clothing stores, and plenty of other retail stores that are not non-profits. Everyone loves to criticize Savers and Goodwill for their business practices but I just see it as virtue signaling.

Really small under the word it said C 1979. When I looked it up, it’s the same logo as the movie poster.

I’m sure your job supplies you with plenty 🤣

@@MidCenturyWasted literally overflowing 😂

If you could please send me an email at midcenturywasted@gmail.com I'll be able to give you a price. I'm afraid the comments will get lost and I won't be able to find them on here. Thanks!

What do you mean by that statement? I’m confused as to your point. ❤

🤣🤣🤣🤣😈

@@fishercourt seriously? It is a joke….jamie and i are friends in real life, she gets it

Hi! Thanks for the questions... the glasses were "flashed" or essentially the color was applied and not part of the glass itself. It's just a sign of lower quality and the color tends to scrape off and flake over time. I do look at jewelry, if you go back to some previous "thrifty quickie" videos you'll see I've found some pretty nice things here before! My Savers is a newer one, opened just this March in Huntington Beach, CA. Thanks for watching!

@@MidCenturyWasted Thanks so much for your reply. I am a senior citizen and don't have a car anymore so have to take buses to thrift shops. I love dangling type earings but they have to be clip-ons as I don't have pierced ears. If you look at the jewelry at the stores you shop at and have time to look through the earings for clip ons but dangling ones (not those little round button earings) maybe I could buy from you. Can't afford too much these days only have social security. 😊 Thank you.
