Speaker 2 (03:40):
But that's just what I do.
You won't let me eat jellybeans.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, that's different.
Why?
Because you smack.
Well, that's like what I do.
You won't let me eat jellybeans.
Yeah, that's different.
Why?
Because you smack.
Well, that's like smacking.
That's like chewing gum orhaving a piece of peppermint in
your mouth.
You don't need to do that whenyou're recording, because people
can notice.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, okay, what we got.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I thought you had a topic or were we just talking?
I thought you had a topic.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Or were we just talking Our first day back in
three months?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
No two months November 4th, Three months.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
So almost three months.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, almost four months right, November, December
, January, February.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh yeah, you count November because you're at the
beginning of it.
Well, you say December.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Tomorrow is March.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
What's Sunday.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I don't know.
Sunday's my birthday.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Oh, did it take you a minute to realize it?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I thought about that the other day and it creeped up
on me.
I did not even realize that itwas here.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's creeping up.
Happy birthday to me.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Happy birthday.
Here's your present I know, Imean, I know, we're sitting mox
you got no, we got new micstands yeah you got new chairs,
you got a couch, you got a rugwhat do I get?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
so, yeah, let's say we went, so like we've been
pretty hot and heavy the lasttwo weekends going thrifting Is
that what you'd call it?
I know you watch people that goout and buy stuff.
Hey, let me tell you something.
If you go out and you're likeat a, what do you call it a
thrift store?
I don't really call them thriftstores.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
But they're not really antique stores either,
but they say that there's like a.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's got a thrift store vibe to it, yeah, but
they're not always.
But it's not a flea market.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
No.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
You could almost say like an indoor type flea market.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's almost like a consignment shop with not yeah,
it's more like a consignmentshop than a thrift store.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean because a thrift store is not people's
things that they put in thereand they're getting paid for it.
These shops are where like aconsignment shop, but they don't
pay consignment.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
You just pay rent for it, right?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
So it's like an antique store, but it's not an
antique store.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, but my point being is like now I've gotten
into where I just like to callit thrifting.
Yeah, I'm starting to lookaround and they, you know, you
see all these tags that people'sgot.
They want to call it vintage.
Everything is everything is oh,but hey, well, I'll get to
something I just thought ofsquirrel you know, squirrel my
mind just everywhere.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Jump out of the chair .

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah well, coco would if she was oh, that's right.
Yeah, but everybody thinkssomething If it's old, it's
vintage, well no.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
And they jacked that price.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Right, right, just because it's old.
But if you, if you go under theGoogle app or just go under
Google, I guess, whatever youcall it, but if you go under the
the camera button, I guess,yeah, it's not really.
It's kind of like a screen,yeah, and you take a picture of
the item.
You know, get a good picture ofwhatever item, say I don't know

(06:56):
, think of something A cup, aMickey Mouse cup that looks like
it came from Hardee's.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Remember Hardee's when they used to have the glass
cups.
The glass cups, yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, glass it ain't a cup.
Is it a cup if it's glass?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Mm-hmm, it's a glass.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
So it is Not really a cup, is it?
It's a glass.
But you take a picture of thatand it's like bam, it pops it up
and gives you different sightson the value, or it gives you a
little place to where you canput in more information.
Say, you know the year of itbut you don't know anything else
about it.
So you take a picture of it,you can pop in the year, and

(07:29):
then it throws out all thesesuggested sites and then dollar
amounts and stuff, and so wejust, kind of you, can spend all
day doing that if you don'twatch it but you see something
like some kind of fine chinatype thing and you go to the
back and you see that stamp andyou're like trying to get a
close-up of that stamp to see ifit might be something.

(07:49):
But we found some stuff.
That was it.
We can go back to that paintingI found in a dumpster oh, yeah,
and I just got it out because Ithought well, whatever it's in
your building.
Right, it's in the building but, uh, I took a picture of it and
, of course, because of it notbeing in great shape, but the
painting's fine, it's theframework that's around it, but

(08:12):
at $150, it's like $400 new $150if it's like whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Why didn't you sell it?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
It's part of my retirement package.
I'm holding on to it.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
You might need some more of those.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's holding down some dust up there because it
yeah, next to my miter saw Iprobably need to put it
somewhere else yeah but yeah, afew weeks ago we went to a place
it's going towards um.
Is it past huntsville?
It is past huntsville, is it?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
not.
Which is that?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
place that's on the side of the road that we've
always talked about it's comingback from Huntsville.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's not.
I mean it's before Huntsville.
It was going towards Huntsville, but it wasn't all the way to
Huntsville.
It was closer this side.
Didn't I say before HuntsvilleI don't know what you said.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Because you confused me.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's before you get to Huntsville.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Anyway.
So we went in there and it is avery cool Before you get to
Bucky's.
Yeah, very cool place to gointo and you can say everything
is vintage.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
But why did we stop?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Because you saw a big old bucket of Kentucky Fried
Chicken.
Well, it was the symbol.
It's the big bucket that yousee on the sign.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
But it never crossed my mind that it was from a store
.
I mean from the restaurant.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And Jody's.
Like you know, that just camefrom the restaurant, right?
I'm like, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
But they had several things like that.
I can't remember, but they hadseveral big sign things like
that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
But you get inside and everything in there is like
locked up Is that where thebarstools were.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, hey.
And if we're talking aboutbarstools, if you watch it on
YouTube, I'm putting the pictureright here right now, and
you've got to see thesebarstools.
It's like the bottom half of.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
A girl's hiney, a girl's hiney, a girl's hiney
wearing cowboy boots wearinglike a skirt right, no it was
like a bathing suit.
Bathing suit like a.
Okay, yeah, like you can seeher, hiney yeah I should have
sat in it I would.
I think we would have gotthrown out because I think the

(10:23):
guy was coming around.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, because the other people were taking
pictures.
Well, there was other people.
They sat in it.
I don't know if they sat in it.
She sat in it.
Oh, did she.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I bet she sat in it and the alarm up front went off.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I wouldn't doubt it, because everything I don't think
anything was under $200 in thatstore.
No way they had, you know, alittle antique type, um, say
like uh, salt and pepper typethings that would be like 500,
you know, or just a lot of coolstuff.
But he was definitely retail.

(10:54):
He wasn't trying to.
I mean, he was trying to geteverything yeah, you could.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I had old blow molds.
If you know what that isChristmas blow modes.
I want everyone can get it.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean anything from the 20s, 30s, 40s 50s.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
I know like I really probably could go back.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh, I could go back and look longer.
Yeah, yeah, because they had itwas late when not late, but it
was.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
When we were coming back, we were coming home and we
were ready to be home.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So like if we went just for that, or you know, when
we go on a trip I can go bythere and browse Every time we
come back there, just stop andbrowse, but you think it has
different stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
No, there's no way that it would.
It is so nice, Everything isnice and neat and organized A
lot of stuff behind.
You know glass, you know it'sgot good lighting.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Who was the big?
The two statues when we firstwalked in, or like the wax
dummies, who was that when wefirst walked in?

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Oh, I don't remember now.
We took several pictures.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, I think we did.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, we'll put any of the pictures on here.
Who?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
are those.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
They looked good.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But it had a lot of neat stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
But nobody.
I don't know if it do.
You think he does it just tohave the store open for people
to look at, Because everythingis so high that I don't really
know of anybody that would go inthere and buy something.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Unless it's something that if you're a collector,
you're a real collector, If youcollect a certain thing and you
found something there.
Yeah, Like I wonder if hetrades.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Well, like toys, the old time toys, and stuff and
dolls that you Say like.
Well, he had Mickey Mousecollectible stuff that looked
like from the 30s Well I don'tknow when Mickey Mouse was, it
wouldn't be that old, but anywayit was like some of the
original Mickey Mouse designsand it'd be a doll that you know

(12:54):
it looks crazy but it's old andyou know it'd be like $1,000 or
some crazy number, but it wasreally neat.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
So that's what we've been doing.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah.
So going back to what we'vedone the last two weeks, we've
just gone and we've hit theselittle.
We go back to the flea market,consignment shop, thrift store a
little bit of everything andjust trying to find stuff for
the podcast room.
Trying to find some furniture.
We found a rug last weekend,find a couch, a small couch just

(13:29):
smaller than what we reallythought it was.
But yeah, but it looks.
You can't see it from thecamera because it's right behind
the camera, behind you.
Yeah, but but it's, it was, it'sjust for looks, but then the
lady's, like you know it'd be agood dog couch, and I was like
you know what?
You're exactly right, becauseit's small enough that this dog
that's sitting right beside meright now could be laying in it,
because you're not in it wellso, but it would be perfect.

(13:53):
But it's a nice little couch.
I like it, but it's like 50bucks yeah so it wasn't bad.
But the thing is, she gave us 50worth of pellets new pellets to
go with it it was was likeseven pellets and each of them
were $10 a piece and they justthrew them in when we bought the
couch, amanda's like I don'treally care, I'm like well,
we're taking them.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't care for pellets, because you just chunk
them off.
And where do they go?
They sit over here and pile up.
Some of them are like hardpillows, so when you put them
behind you you're just likestuck up like that.
Well the pillow you've gotright now under your arm.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, well, that's right.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's a squishy one though.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, but the other ones look new.
I do like the brown lookingones.
But I was telling them, man.
I said no, we'll just take them.
I said if they're $10 a pile, Imean that's 50, 60, 70.
They gave us five, six, sevenpillows, I don't know.
But if we ended up resellingthem, you make our money back,
break even on it.
And we still got the couch.

(14:50):
So that's kind of neat.
And then we finally found thesechairs.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
After you put a table together.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Oh my goodness, yeah, if you want, you've got to
watch this video, because I'mgoing to put all this in.
We set it up, I built a Welcomeback.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
We're filling you with a lot.
Welcome back.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
yes, we're filling you in with a lot, yeah, just a
little bit of everywhere.
So I built a year and a halfago, I guess a year ago it was
oh it's, it's been over, oh ithas been because we've been out
of that little consignment storefor a year.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
So I was built.
I built a farmhouse table,kitchen table, and then I was
building benches to go with it.
And then I started buildingmore benches and I built a
couple of tabletops for thefarmhouse tables, but I never
built the, the legs, actualframe of it.
So I had this one, like I don'tknow, four by four, three by

(15:47):
four top, just leaning against awall in my building for a year
no, it's in our.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
It was in the little foyer before in the house.
That's right, remember, yeah soit's leaned up.
Yeah, because you, you tell meevery time we walk by, it's like
you're gonna get rid of thatthing.
Yeah, you're gonna go ahead andput it together.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
So what I'm saying is so I didn't really take care
because I had it leaned upagainst the wall and what
happens to a piece of wood,something like that?
And you got leaned up againstthe wall it's gonna warp.
So sure enough it it warped.
But so for the last probablythree months I've slowly worked
on the, the base for the table,painted it got, finally got it

(16:27):
because we had a budget and weknew what we wanted to spend,
but we just couldn't find whatwe wanted.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
So I'm like why can't we use what we got and that's
what we were gonna do?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
yeah, I wanted to take.
I've got a higher bench in myworkshop that I built.
It's a tabletop that's from aold restaurant has gum under it
yeah, it's got people's names,you know, carved into it and
it's got some probably 50 yearold gum stuck on the bottom of
it.
But it's a cool tabletop so Ibuilt it, so I built a frame

(17:00):
around it and and I made it alittle bit higher a little bit
higher than a regular.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
And I'm a short girl, so I don't like high.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
But I built it higher than a table because I matched
it with my miter saw stand,because sometimes I've got a
long piece of wood.
If I've got a 12-foot piece ofwood, I can rest it across that
bench and on the miter saw standand it works perfect.
So I just made it even withthat.
So then bench and on the mitersaw stand and it works perfect.
So I just made it even withthat.
So then after all that I waslike you know what I want that
thing in here, the two by foursI framed it with I can sand it,

(17:30):
stain it, all that kind of stuffput it in here.
But I'm like you know I'll haveto take part of it apart to get
it in this room and it washeavy too right and it was heavy
well, the tabletop really yeah,the heaviest part about it.
But I was just going to have totake a little bit off of it to
get it in here and I was like,if I do that, we can't have
regular chairs, we've got tohave bar stools.
So I've been on the hunt forbar stools for months and months

(17:56):
, it seems like and we found nobar stools that we liked at all.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Amanda did not like the idea.
I did not like the idea at all,just because.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Like you, put this table in here.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I don't like a bar stool because I'm short, and if
you don't have something for meto rest my feet on, I get very
uncomfortable.
Yeah, I'd make it work for you,though.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, but the way this table I built, I guess
you'd say that you could restyour feet.
That still might be too low foryou, but I could build you
something wherever you're goingto sit at.
Anyway, I was going to do it.
I really still.
If I had the choice, I'd stillput it in here and you'd just
stand at it if we had to untilwe found some barstools, because
I wanted that in here.
I just like that tabletop.
So that was not going to work.

(18:46):
So amanda pretty much forced meto build the base of that
farmhouse tabletop, worked on it.
Yeah, got it, got it together.
I painted it brown they're like, well, that's ugly and I
painted it white they're likewhat's.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
What's up with that?
You're talking about the base,yeah, okay, so people's like
what's?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
up with that.
And then I went back and sandedit, you know, sanded over it
here and there and made it lookdistressed.
So it looked good and then so Icould not put the thing
together and then get it in here.
The tabletop is heavy, so I waswas gonna have to bring it in

(19:24):
here.
Me and nicholas brought thetabletop in here, then we
brought the base in here, laideverything down and, like I said
, the tabletop is warped, sowhen it's on the ground it's
still raised up.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I mean, it's just you know, it's not bad extra
tabletop because when I was intobuilding these, because you
made it for me and then Idecided I didn't like that one.
I wanted it different and adifferent color.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, I wouldn't say that, but yeah.
I'm just saying you do thingsthat I want, I know, I know To
make me happy.
I do, I try.
So we had it.
So Nicholas had to stand on themiddle of the base,
everything's upside down, whileI'm trying to screw it all
together and then get it done,get it flipped back up.

(20:07):
It's heavy as all.
Get out.
Get it set up.
Bam, it's done.
Tried to find.
Got the rug working, got thetable on top of it.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Still didn't have chairs, though.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Still didn't have chairs.
Still didn't have chairs,though still didn't have chairs,
so we're like didn't havechairs, so we're like you know
what the bar still I found one,got one bar still, just because
we found a good price on and Ithought maybe we can find a
match or whatever.
got it now it's too tall for thetable I've gotten here, so
we're gonna have to use, like,the kitchen table chairs if

(20:40):
we're gonna do anything in here.
So the kitchen table chairs ifwe're going to do anything in
here.
So that was a plan.
Well, I'll be doggone.
That was a Saturday and it wasthree days, is that right?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
It was a Saturday, so it was last Saturday when I put
this tabletop together and gotit in here, and then Saturday.
So that was Saturday, thenSunday, then Monday, then
Tuesday.
Somebody sends me some picturesof some chairs that she found
and then next thing I know weget them.
And so now they're stuck in ourliving room because I've got a

(21:15):
tabletop that I've got to flipback over, take the top off
because I can't get it out thedoor to get it back out.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
He did not, he was trying every which way for me to
let him leave that table inhere.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
And you just couldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
There was no room.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
No, I was like let me put the table, Just let me
squeeze it over in the corner.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
And I knew if we'd done that it would never come
out.
But the thing about it was itwas going to be an option.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
It the bad part was it was going to be an option.
It was going to be an optionLike we can podcast, like we are
now.
If we have a third person, atany time we'll pull that out,
move these chairs around.
You'll never see it.
Just when you record, you'vegot the table and the people, or
however.
I was just thinking it was adifferent option.
But then I started thinkingabout my mom.
She wanted me to make her one awhile back and I just I got

(22:02):
burned out.
I was building all this stuff.
I was doing too much.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
He was trying to find a hobby.
Well the hobby became too muchwork.
It was a second job Becauseyou're Mr Perfection, I don't
know and it had to be.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Well, this was back when we had that little, that
booth at the consignment placetoo, so I was trying to keep
stuff going, keeping that fullright, so anyway.
So, uh, yeah, I shot thepictures to my mother and asked
her hey, I don't know if thecolor of the top, because the
top does have a tinge of a greencolor that you said I see it

(22:40):
just Just a little maybe.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
And you know how things look different in
different lights too.
So, I mean, it may just be, Idon't know.
I just like I'm more of thegrays and this table's brown.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Well, I really wish you know they did away.
It was called gray smoke.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, that's my favorite.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
That's our table, right?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, yeah, and's my favorite, that's our table right
, yeah, yeah and.
I don't like shiny and Jodylikes shiny, so I have matte
finish on my kitchen table thathe built.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
And then the one that I just did now is shiny.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
It is shiny, jody loves it.
It looks wet.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's why I like it.
But the matte finish, it turnedout good.
I'll put a picture of that too,of what our kitchen table looks
like.
It turned out very good, butanyway, long story short.
So my mom wants that table, sowe took everything apart.
Now it's in what we call thered room, which is like a foyer
of the house, along with someother stuff that I can talk

(23:44):
about here in a minute, but sothat.
So today is friday, so in themorning we are delivering that
tabletop, because this gets it'sin two pieces, like I said.
So when I get over there andget it in the house, I got to
put it all back together againin the midst of moving her table
and getting and trying tosqueeze it in and all that stuff
, but anyway.
So we had a couch in this rooma big couch a big couch that's

(24:11):
actually.
It was two year left up againstthat wall and it's an ashley
couch, ashley furniture isn'tthat correct?
Yeah, it did not get.
This room right here did notget a whole lot of attention.
Nobody ever really stays inhere.
We had a TV in here at one time.
I'd come in here from time totime, but it just didn't get a

(24:33):
whole lot of attention.
So the couch did not really getworn down from sitting in it,
but it was like the color.
It wore down.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
What little bit?
Maybe just because it's a fewyears old, I don't know, but it
didn't hold up.
In other words, but anyway,moved it out, took it apart, my
goodness.
And the way this room goes outinto the hallway you had to
raise one end up high turn, mygoodness, but anyway, so we have

(25:05):
somebody that's gonna take that, but it's in that in our red
room we have a little path fromthe steps so there's like
furniture that in the nextseveral days is gonna be gotten
rid of.
But you can that.
Down there it's just like a onepath you go from door to door.
It's a catch-all room.
Yeah, down there, it's justlike a one path you go from door
to door.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's a catch-all room , but then again you're afraid
to get rid of furniture becausewe got a son.
If he goes off to college, Idon't want to have to buy stuff.
Yeah, so you don't know what tosave.
You don't know what to get ridof.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
But we do have another couch that he can use.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
It's a little bit smaller.
It's smaller, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
But the person that needs a couch is going to a good
home and then she hopefullymight take the kitchen table
that my mom's going to begetting rid of.
That we're swapping out.
Yeah, so I'll be bringing itout.
So the thing is, where is thatthing going to go when I bring
it back tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Actually, I think that could go to the church and
we put it in when those roomsnot being used.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
And then she can make arrangements, and then she can
get it from there.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Oh yes, that's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I think that would be okay.
I wish they could do that couchthat way too.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
We could do that, couch.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
It would fit.
I want to make it convenientfor them and not make it more of
a hassle.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well, no, if it's there, then they can get it, and
then we could just meet themand help them get it out.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I think that would be fine.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Anyway, yeah, we need to find out about that.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, people don't care about that.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Right, that's a good idea I just had, though.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
I don't have those.
Often Jody says I don't.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
So yeah, tomorrow.
So tomorrow morning, do that,moving all that stuff around,
I'm gonna have to edit thisthing.
I'm going to edit the otherpodcast.
I got to study for sundayschool.
I'm behind.
I should have already studiedfor sunday school lesson.
There ain't enough hours, oh,and I gotta work in the morning.
That's the other thing.
And I and I need anothertrailer tire for my trailer and

(26:58):
that can't wait.
There's $105.
Bam, like that you better gowork then.
You better go work, winstonain't missing a beat over here?

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, no, because he's right up your homie.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
See ya, be careful.
Then that would be Nicholasgoing to work out.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
So, yeah, that's just what we've been doing the last
month.
We have done more than that.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's really the last couple of weeks.
We've done a lot the lastcouple of weeks.
Yeah, it's really been Stayedbusy.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
But now we've got to where we like to go on Saturdays
and do hunt those treasures,treasure hunting.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, but if I'm not tied up, sometimes I have to
work on Saturday I don't know.
I guess you'll have to go finda treasure.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
You won't let me go by myself.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
We've hit all the places in our little town.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
There's nothing around.
We've got to venture out just alittle bit farther.
We've got to find some stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, but these places, you know, once you go
there, one time there's really.
I mean, maybe it's a few monthsdown the road I could go once a
month.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
You know if the we got two places in our town.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Why is the Salvation Army not open on Saturday?
That's right they need to beopen on Saturday.
That's right they need to beopen on Saturday, because I
think we could go down there andfind something.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's true too.
I don't know why they're notopen on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
But those people that you know when I was talking
about doing the Google thing,taking a picture.
You follow some people onYouTube that her and her
boyfriend or fiance husband,whoever he is- I think they're
married.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I think they are but they video their self going to
these places, especially thesalvation army and now they got
a goodwill is that goodwill?

Speaker 2 (28:53):
yeah, it's good.
Okay, we don't have a goodwill,but they they get a lot of yard
sales, so I'm hoping we can dothat.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
But they find the value of this stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
They think something might be bad, I mean, that's how
she makes a lot of her money.
She don't work.
That's what she does.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
She resells it, she homeschools.
But the thing about that is thewhole shipping part about it.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
That's the part I don't like.
So I just now started.
I've been doing the nailbusiness for almost three years
and I just now started shippingmy own stuff.
But I just bought a scale and alittle printer because did you
yeah, but I didn't know about itfrom no tiki-taki shop.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's been much, that ain't much anyway that
scaling will be right becauseit's from tiktok, I mean, oh no,
the scale wasn't.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
The scale was from walmart no the scale was from
walmart, um.
So anyway, like I don't like togo to the post office and stuff,
because I work three minutesfrom home so I never go to town
unless it's on Friday orSaturday, and on Saturday your
post office isn't open until 12.
So I just I like the part ofthinking and going and hunting

(30:12):
and stuff, but as far as packingit up and shipping it, I don't
want to go to the post office.
But now I don't have to Becauseyou just go through shipcom.
Nuh-uh, pirate ship, is thatwhat I used?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Pirate ship.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, pirate ship, and you pay for your postage
right there and it prints youout a label and you put it on
your package and go.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
You weigh it.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
You got to weigh it, so I might think about doing it
a little bit now.
You know selling stuff, butwhen you do that like eBay, and
stuff takes a percentage of it,right, so see, that's what I
don't like.
I'd rather sell it to a personmyself than through eBay.
But how's somebody going to seeit if you don't go through eBay

(31:01):
?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
What's the other couple that we watched, jamie
and Sarah, on YouTube andthey're not doing as much now.
They're more into buying housesand flipping houses, but
they're the ones that startedthe whole palette, buying and
then reselling that, and shewould resell that on facebook
marketplace right, so sometimesshe would have locals, so that

(31:26):
would be good.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, that's a thing, yeah, with her.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
It always showed that they picked it up at her front
door they had a ring, yeah, ringcamera they put the money under
the mat, took the item and left.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
But my point being, you got some trust right there.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, my point being is she did a lot of shipping too
and I just that just seems likea headache.
I know I know you need to thinkof what the shipping cost is
going to be and add that intowhat you're going to sell it for
?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, definitely, you know is going to be, and add
that into what you're going tosell it for you know.
So you're not losing money ornot making as much, because just
a little box of nails thatdon't weigh like I think it was
1.47 ounces you put it in inounces and one box of nails
that's not big at all, and thenin your little shipping pouch

(32:15):
mine was a nine by six and mostof them where they went.
I think I shipped six of themor something like that was four
dollars and eight cents to shipthat one thing that's a lot that
is a lot.
So I mean for that and thatdoesn't weigh anything and it's

(32:37):
small.
So I couldn't imagine some ofthis stuff that I've seen some
of them ship.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
But they have to count that shipping in there or
they're losing right.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, oh yeah, because that's part of your
expense, Right?
So if I bought something for$10 at Goodwill and I know the
value, I know I can get twentyfive for it.
Right, so that's fifteendollars profit.
But when I ship it it's goingto cost me six bucks.
So is it worth?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
eBay, you pay shipping.
Some people are do freeshipping If it's free shipping.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, that's great, but so is it worth it if you're
just doing a handful of thingsevery once in a while if you're
doing it all the time.
Yeah, of course it adds up andit's right you know you save a
little bit more return on it.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I would like to do it.
I'd like to resell stuff.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I would like to do it , but the shipping I just well.
Now to me, my little businessthat I have.
It's going to be better for me,but still I don't like the
shipping part.
It's the part I don't like.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
True.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
I like the hunting, the stuff and getting yeah but I
don't to think to ship it.
