Hi dr lori
I got a copy of Antony and Cleopatra for $2.00 at a thrift store. The inside cover has a ticket stub from the Martin Beck theater from I think1941 and an autograph from Katherine Cornell who was in the play at the theater.
She is so intelligent and funny. She knows what she is doing! I am having a video chat to appraise 3 items in a 10 minute video chat. I am so excited 😊!!!
Yay! This put a smile on my face😊
Treasure hunters! Watch me show you what to add to your #thrift shop #shopping list at youtu.be/Q5grNYW8B4E
Dont miss these #musthaves treasures from the #thrift store
I have 3' tall Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. My inner geek escaped when I saw them and I had to have them.
Loved this video! Great information!
Always educating us! I pass by the milk glass vases but won't anymore! I appreciate all you do!
I Love you Dr Lori you are a Queen. 😀
I had that rug when I was litttle 🙂
I went out thrifting yesterday and found these old tobacco advertisements.
I donate items to Goodwill from my DVD collection weekly as part of my media purging since I transferred all to digital. Hopefully DVDs are not part of valuable items to get at thrift stores…lol!
Update: The Talk on CBS want me to appraise hosts’ antiques but I wasn’t local so I won’t be on.
That show is horrible. You are not missing anything
Totally their loss! HGTV needs to produce a show with you, would be far more interesting than what they now have on.
The Talk. You can do much better than that.
Nobody watches that show anyway, you are better off on PTL
Local? It’s a national show. They have the budget to fly you in. That’s disappointing!
I don't know why The Talk couldn't put you on Zoom!. They could have sent photos for you to review.
Typical Hollywood craziness. They don’t get that we, (the real people of the USA/other countries) are who make up the most of the population! It’s a guarantee that we’d be watching every episode.
Darn, there is nobody better that you, It’s there loss! I would have loved to see you on The Talk
That’s disappointing, it’s their loss.
I would have watched it but only if I knew you were appearing. 🙃
Not local?!?! They didn’t offer arrangements for a guest? A guest of your caliber to boot. 🤨 Then they are not worth your time Dr. Lori. We, your faithful fans are happy to pay your fees for your time. And I will add, you are very generous with both. ♥️ Rock on Dr. Lori.
WoW, seriously .... They could have done better than this, to make it happen-For everyone! Their loss! We love you, the show, what you do and will continue to follow wherever you are!!!
I would rather be on a zoom call. I was on the Dr Oz show promoting a show on the Oxygen network regarding my missing cousin and I found it to be so much more intimidating than via zoom, which I have done many times.
Their loss.. have they not seen any of your videos you are amazing. Your knowledgeable You're beautiful on camera. You come across making someone feel important about their object. I can go on and on you seriously need a series.
Their loss, they missed an opportunity to have America's best appraiser on!! 🤦🏻♀️
Their loss!!!
That would of been fun to watch. Their loss. You are amazing.
Their loss!
So, fly on over for the next time.
OH WOW! IT would HAVE BEEN SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU ON THETALK ! Wish TheView would call you to go on THEVIEW ! I really really wish TheSocial talk show or Marilyn Dennis talk show over here in Canada 🇨🇦 would get you on their show ...teaching us a little bit about appraisals. I need help with a really old painting that I think might be older then my Gramma was when she passed away at 100 yrs old in 2000. The painting was hangjng in Gramma's house for many years with a light over it. I got hyper about the painting because the old beautiful frame on it had a piece fall off it while leaning on a wall not hanging ..I'm afraid of doing something wrong ...I saved the piece that fell from the frame ... the painting is laying flat covered with sheets and clear plastic over the sheets just in case there are fluids or other things in the air here ... Its beautiful but very old - I can't read the signature or signed initials ...of who painted it.
That's a shame! I love to see a more fun aspect to the show instead of the stiff seriousness! You'd be a great addition on a regular basis!
Don't worry about it. You do so much more for all of us that follow you. The Talk would have given you a few minutes - if that, Their loss.
Now wait, they don't want you to do Zoom on their show??
Are you kidding me??!! Buy a ticket and get over there ! That’s a ton of extra exposure !!😊
Don't get me started on "The View" it's THEIR freedom of Speech NOT THE PROPLES FREEDOM I DON'T like people that just want to Hurt Others.
