More Than a Yard Sale

Kingdom Pursuits, where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion. Together we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into kingdom pursuits.

Now, live from the Truth Booth, your host, Robbie Dilmore. Ho ho ho ho ho, are we loaded for bear today because we are live? Talk about a yard sale. We're out here at the Consignment Furniture Emporium, 130 Cloverdale Drive, and Not only do we have like the the I don't even know how to describe all the different things we have, but we have free donuts, we have free La Blue water, we have Stu Epperson, and now we also have Kayla Kelly. Hi.

I've never seen such A variety of you, of things that possibly people could buy, and it has got to go because you've got to make room for the warehouse, right? It has got to go, and we have such great items. I've never seen such a variety. We have spent so much time, put so much effort into this. We're really trying to make it a great thing for the public, and we look forward to seeing everyone.

34 years of collecting amazing stuff. Robbie, I've never seen people.

Now, Richmond, Virginia. You can get here maybe in a few hours. Raleigh, you're only an hour and a half away. Toleda Dayton, that may be another issue, but you're going to be encouraged by what you hear today because there's a whole God story to this place like you've never seen. We're in Winston-Salem.

North Carolina. at Consignment Furniture Emporium on Cloverleaf Drive, South Stratford Road. Correct. And people are, there's a crowd of people. Parking is just bulging.

And we got these hot Krispy Kreme donuts, and the hotlight is going to stay on all day. Because it's only 100 degrees outside, right? Only 100. And we got water. We got truth water.

But more than that, let's just say that you've been wanting to give an organ to your church, right? You could be an organ donor. Because we have several organs. Or let me say that you've been thinking that you need that man cave type, right? Not only can you pass the buck right here, because we probably have, how many deer heads would you say we got, Stu?

I thought, well, let's see. If I were organized, I might be able to put together. That's a lot of heads of deer. That's a whole lot. I'm going to guess there's 40.

I would say at least. It's about 2,000 points, I guess, if you can't. And you can't forget the bear.

Now what happens if that bear chases Us here. Kayla, we don't have to be around to see it. We don't have to outrun it. We just have to outrun Robbie.

Okay. Yeah. I think we can do that. Absolutely. Christy Carbear.

I'll see.

Somebody pulled all the teeth, and so it's sort of a gummy bear. Yeah. You barely got that one out. I don't know how you did it. I can't bear it.

Unbearable. I'm going to need a bear aspirin by the time we're done. The taxidermy stuff, like, man, if you got a man cave, like, you have come to the right place. But another thing that a lot of people need is, like, you got a table that you broke the glass or something. Like, there got to be 40 different.

Maybe 100. I don't know. There's all kinds of table glass. Kids vegetation. Absolutely.

I will say that's a question that we've had from customers a lot in the past is if we sell odd pieces of glass, you know, everyone has accidents. But we're finally doing it. We're finally doing it. We have so much glass for sale, marble tops. occasional tables, a little bit of everything.

And to paint the picture, this is the kind of store thousands of square feet of consignment furnished emporium. John and Linda Kelly, and now you're part of the family, marrying awesome. Young Will. But you go in that, everyone I've ever brought over here just goes, wow. Just wow, because the store on the inside is unbelievable.

What you've done is you have packed out this massive parking lot. Which All this stuff that was on the inside, now that's out here, that you have deeply discounted.

So it is a great time. If you need some things, if you need a cool scooter, look at that scooter right there, fully motorized and ready to go. I mean all kinds of Got a backyard situation that you just put in a new deck or whatever, and you need a bunch of chairs. Maybe you're going to throw a party, and you need 40 chairs. Like, you have come to the right place.

It's like a yard sale, it's a giant yard sale, is that right? It's a giant yard sale. Lots of building materials as well. We have light fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, art, literally anything that you would need for your home inside or out. A commercial oven.

Like, let's just say that, you know, and it's a stand-alone thing. And so let's say that you just love to bake and that one oven's just never, and you've got a garage and you're like, man, I think I need an oven in my garage because, you know, for Thanksgiving dinner, when you need that extra room for that pie and whatever. Like, oh, my goodness, they have a stand-alone commercial oven, like dishwasher, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, like a whole bunch of refrigerators.

Well, to put it in perspective, we all have friends who are thrifters, right? They go hopping around. There's one of them right there, my cousin Randy. They go and they find deals and they love it. And then they find it, they may resell it.

They have someone they want to. directed to. People come here to CFE, Consignment Furniture Porum. Just think CFE, think KFC. People come to CFE.

Not just for amazing deals on stuff that's really gently used but in amazing condition, one of a kind pieces. But people that are thrifters come, but people that are just looking for stuff, looking for furniture. We're looking for a table, a desk for our daughter right now. Oh, we got it. I'm confident by the time I leave here today, I will walk out and gladly pull my credit card out and hand it to one of your wonderful team inside because you guys have been sponsoring Christian Radio for a long time.

We are so grateful. And it's our Christian Radio partners. I speak on behalf of all of our Christian Radio partners, from Utah to Richmond, Virginia, to Norfolk to. To Florida, to all of our friends all across Ohio and Charlotte. Thank you for partnering with us, and thank you, CFE.

Thank you, Caleb. You had mentioned, Stu, there's a wonderful story. But Right? Like how God worked through this particular Just, yeah, there are some stories. Kayla, you want to take that?

I'm going to leave that one for Linda.

Okay, well, that was her experience. But I will say, this place has been such a blessing to me personally. I've made some great relationships with customers, with coworkers. Last week, I had someone come in and request prayer because their daughter was going into surgery and they wanted to come by and pray with me first. And that was the biggest compliment that I could have ever received.

Um and that's what this place is. I mean, it's a great It's great for furniture, it's great for accessories, but it's also a great Christian foundation, and that's what we strive to be.

Well, and I'll tell you, I come in here about once every month or two. With a couple guys, and we do a devotion, like a team like prayer, share a little word from the word. There's the man right there. He's coming up. Leon, you're gonna love this guy.

And just there's a great spirit here. It's truly a Christian-owned company. You guys want to be Big C Christian, and you're trying to pass that down to your team, your employees, all of their customers. Just a smiling face, honoring Christ in everything you do. And honestly, Providing some of the best products I've ever seen.

And a lot of these came from homes of maybe a really nice family had just furnished their home and they said, oh, we're relocating. And rather than move all this stuff, We want to sell it, maybe get some cash. John Kelly wheels up in a big truck, his team pulls up. And he takes this beautiful grand piano or this awesome love seat or amoir or whatever it is, because I've done it with you and I love it, and they've got, and he brings it in here, and someone says, Oh my soul, that's what I've been looking for. And they get it for pennies on the dollar.

And today's yard sale is all that even marked down more. Great prices and all kinds of stuff. It's over there, Robbie. I mean, I'm wanting to get up and go. Go look at it right now.

So, just to point it out, this stuff's got to go. They got to make room for a lot more stuff and all that God has provided them with. And it's like we talked about on the Christian, it's a living water. Like, the water's got to come in, and then the water's got to go. It's all got to happen.

So, you know, we need you. Yeah, and this young lady right here just walked out with something. This one's yours right here, brother. Hey, this young, come over here, ma'am. Did you find something?

Come over here. Come over here. Come over here. Did you find something? It looks like you're walking out with something really good here.

Can you tell our listeners? People are listening, they don't know what to think of all this. Here, come, come close. Talk to us. What's your first name?

Kathy. Kathy, what do you got here? Tell us your experience. What happened? I saw the most gorgeous solar cherry Sofa table in there, just beautiful.

I walked over to the desk, it had a thing on it that said sold. just to make sure it was really sold, 'cause sometimes people lay those things around. She said, Okay, where is it? There. And we walked over, and it was gone.

Oh, my soul. From the time I saw it and walked to the desk, and it was taken back to make sure it was really sold. Unbelievable. It vanished.

Solid cherry. That is something, but something else vanished. It looks like you're walking out, you got something with you there, huh? Oh, we gotta go to a break. We will be back with a whole lot more from the Consignment Furniture Emporium.

Again, it's 1:30 Clover Leaf. Drive in Winston-Salem, put this in your GPS at 27103. The consignment furniture emporium, free donuts, water, and then all. The values and the and just fun. And it's at our Truth Network Facebook page.

So come on out. It's all there. We'll see you in a minute. We'll be back. And dear.

You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Mm-hmm. Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits, where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the kingdom. And if you've got a passion for yard sales, we got like the world's largest. I've never seen anything quite like it.

And we would love for you to come out and join us. We are at 130 Clover Leaf Drive in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 27103. And we're so blessed right now to have Leon with us. He is the dock manager, and he told me his ship has come in to the dock. Man, what an opportunity.

So tell us about your role here at Consignment Furniture Emporium.

Well, my role is just about everything. I do it all. And you've been here for how long? Sixteen years. Sixteen years.

And so. What would you say are some of the highlights of stuff that you've probably got to unload some interesting stuff over the years, right? Oh, yes, and still do. It's a lot of interesting stuff. Does something just jump out at you like, man, I can't believe we found this?

Hey, that's most of it, really. I'm sorry, I've been in the conversation, but I've been eating this hot Krispy Kreme. The hot light's on. And what that means is, yeah, they were hot, but we put them on that table right there. Ladies, will you keep a watch on that?

Because those are hot donuts, hot krispy creams. Robbie, so I got my coffee. Leon, I'm going to have to share one of these with you when we're done with this broadcast.

Sounds good. Leon's a glue guy. I mean, Leon, you are the heart and soul of this place. I mean, what what would you say the To Robbie's question too, the passion In your heart, what do you feel when you think of being here and being here all these years? I feel blessed.

'Cause it has been a blessing. Because we've been in that room in prayer when we do our devotions. Yes, sir, a lot of times. And some people see things as just a job. I'm just clocking in and I'm just getting it done with and getting the day, but.

Yeah. Tell us how you see this as a calling. It's more like family. It's like my family. That's exactly what it is.

And it's been that way for 16 years. And so I imagine you didn't start out as the dock manager when you got here. You were just on the dock? No, I started out through like a temporary service. Oh, really?

I just came to clean up. How about that? And she liked my work, and she was like, I'm going to keep you around. And I've been around ever since. It stuck.

Well, Robbie asked a question earlier. People come out here, they're like, wait, why is that giant cactus right there? What about all those tools? Why is there a motorized scooter? Gearheads, a giant stuffed bear.

You know, that motorized scooter belonged to like Terry Laboni or something, and it has a pit pass on the front of it.

So if you buy this motor... And it's nice, too. Yeah, it is. It's unbelievably nice. This electric scooter, like you go everywhere, has got a speedometer and all this stuff.

But it literally was like the race car drivers. Unbelievable. And he would go around in this thing. And so, like, if you get it. Can you come with a pit crew?

Dan, do you go with us if we get that and help us get it?

Well, you can go visit your pit crew if you get it because you get right into the pits.

So you've seen some crazy stuff come into here, haven't you? Oh, yeah. Talk to us. What are some things? Let me see.

Well, now, Mr. John Kelly's standing over there, so be careful what you say now. We want to make sure everything's right, but I'll tell you. It's hard to say because there's so much stuff coming through. Furniture.

Tons of furniture, right? Yeah, different things. Chandeliers, fixtures. Yep, anything you name come through.

Now they have stained glass chandeliers. There's so many things that this pottery, like from what I understand, there's this. Iron like what is it called? Lodge iron pots. Mm-hmm.

This stuff isn't easy to find. From what I understand, it's been calling the kettle. Black.

So that hurts. Yeah, that's pretty much. But I'm going to tell you an interesting piece that came through yesterday. It was it was a dog kennel. Right, but it was made out of complete metal and had like iron balls like a jail cell or something.

That it was. It was different. It was a dog kennel made of iron bars.

So it was for a serious dog. Yes, it had to be.

Somebody had to be. It had to be. Has Leon mentioned that? Hey, it's Linda. Owner here at See if he has.

Has anyone mentioned that I paid Leon to say whatever he just said? I didn't hear it. But I'll give you the cash later, Leon. Thank you. Leon and I are shaking hands for all you radio listeners.

Well, we were told by your daughter-in-law that. I should save that story for Linda, that this was a God thing in so many different ways. In many, many different ways. But from the beginning, it's been a God thing because. Back in 1992.

Do you know the history, Robbie, of the business? I'll make it short and sweet. I'll nutshell this story. Yeah, I love that story. Back in 1992.

I had a wild idea, and here it is. It was started in 1900 square feet.

Now, I do mean 1900, not 19,000. Right.

So that's a home size. Small home. Yeah. 1,900 square feet. And Um One of the things that we had to do was we had to put the sofas on their end.

There wasn't space to put them on their legs or feet.

So we called it the sofa towers section. Of CFE. Oh, by the way, back then it wasn't CFE, of course, like Kentucky Fried Chicken. It was Consignment Furniture Emporium. Couldn't fit it on the line of the check.

Consignment Furniture Emporium. But anyway, it was so crowded and we lasted at that first space I guess it was about six months. At the time I was living a Bible verse, it was, I don't know the verse, Stu, you'll know this verse. It's in Proverbs. It's the vision.

If you don't have a vision, forward-thinking. There's no vision, the people perish. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Well, I didn't know that I was. living and unfolding that. One Bible verse in every move that I made, and evidently I've still got that running through my soul. Thank you, Jesus, for the blessing of that, because we've got to keep moving things forward. You have to keep making it better.

Better every year. You change with the times. While so many things about us are old school, the vision remains forward-thinking. That you've got to scale back, you've got to scale down, you've got to do what you got to do. And Leon, how long have you been with us here at 16?

Going on 16 years. 16 years.

Some things just, you know, some things have to remain the same and the consistency of. Like good people around you, that means everything to me. Leon is our family. We're all a big family here, but this whole thing that's going on right here with us. Selling all this stuff in a yard sale setting has to do with that vision.

You got to keep that vision moving forward. And one of the blessings about this is that. For the longest time, when we upfitted this space, this building is 43,250 square feet. And when we upfitted this space, it had no heat or air with the exception of one little gas line that kept the front loading dock doors in that area from Evidently, from people freezing to death if it got below 32 degrees.

So that was the only. comfort accommodation that it had. And The first thing we did was put in heat and AC in this building. And no small undertaking. For any of you listeners out there who are in the heat and AC business, HVAC, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

So, we didn't, our vision did not include heating and cooling the end that we ended up. opening a few years later to the public in our accessory shop.

So we were constantly striving and Leon I'll tell you this. I mean it was cold down there in the winter and we were trying to keep it warm. It was just steamy in the summer and we're trying to keep it cool. We're doing fans and we're trying to share with the space but there's some kind of science behind what size units you put on for square footage and we didn't have enough to do that.

So this has just been a turn of events that we converted that space back to warehouse and we're sharing that space with our neighbors next door, Hughes Plumbing, which has created an opportunity for us to stay here because we were going to be moving. This building sold and that changed a lot of things in our in our Make up here, and we just decided there's a way to do it. And we prayed for guidance, we prayed for vision, and we said, I always say in our morning prayer, I always say. Lord, this is yours. CFE is yours.

And we always say in every prayer, Leon knows what I'm going to say because he hears it over and over. We would be a blessing. We pray that we are a blessing to those who pass through our doors. Amen.

So. We're thinking we might even be a bigger blessing now 'cause it's comfortable. It's actually not hot in the summer and cold in the winter. You can go inside. Yeah.

And this has brought up the biggest yard sale probably happening today in North Carolina, right here. How long will this stuff be out? All this amazing stuff. This yard sale. It's over at 5 o'clock today.

5 o'clock today. But at 2 o'clock, we go 50% off everything outside. 2 o'clock, 50% off. And 4 o'clock, 70% off. Dealers, welcome.

Bring your trucks back up here. Make us an offer because this is part of the great vision. Got to let go. Let go to go big. And we got 10 dozen donuts while supplies last.

They're here and they're hot. I can tell you right about right. Thank you, Krispy Creek. You've got to stop saying we have 10 dozen donuts. We have 7 dozen donuts now.

Yeah, it's coming down. But I would say, just for example, right? Leon ate a dozen. We talked about this race car driver's bike right here. And it's right this second is listed for $700, but she just said that's going to be 50% off.

At 2 o'clock. At 2 o'clock, which means it's going to be $350. And if it's still here then. If it's still here at 4 o'clock, it's 70% off. Don't ask me to do any math.

It's so hot. Right.

Well, I'm pretty sure that's about $300, okay? It's a very cool thing. It was an NASCAR driver's Scootie bike to make his way around. No, $200. Yeah, I mean, whoever gets it first, but it still has the pit pass on the front of it.

Like, people think you're Terry Labonte. When you come in there, of course, you'd be driving so fast this thing. They're like, hey, Terry, how are you doing? Here's your opportunity. There are so many one-of-a-kind things out here today.

And if you were here at the yard sale on Thursday, also, we added a lot of stuff last night. Has anyone shared with you the story where we came in? I haven't been listening. I'm sorry, I've been working, but did anyone share with you that we came in at 2 a.m.? No.

Yeah, we came in and we did a shift Wednesday morning. We did 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. to beat the heat. And then we came in and did 4 a.m.

to get it out again.

So, wow.

Okay, so you need a refrigerator. Like, can you imagine? It's going to be 70% off of its already crazy discounted price. Or if you need a washing machine or whatever it is, that oven that I was talking about, standalone in your garage, or you need a kitchen table, whatever it is you need. Oh, my word.

You got to get out here. It is. Take it all. 130 Clover Leaf Drive in Winston-Salem. It's right off Stratford Road, 27103.

We'll be back with a lot more. You're listening to The Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits, where we're here at Hogtown. God fix your passion. And uses it to build a kingdom.

So maybe you got a passion for 70% off or 50% off or 20% off. You've come to the right place. We are at the Consignment Furniture Emporium, sometimes referred to as CFE, 130 Cloverdale Drive in Winston-Salem, 27103. If you got that in your GPS, it's right off Stratford Road across from the Sheets and the McDonald's over there. But nonetheless, man, oh my goodness, we got John Kelly with us and Stu.

And so, John, the values, the values, and it's getting better every minute. If somebody needs an oven, a standalone oven. Absolutely. We have some fabulous things out here that have just been. We've been saving and we've been Keeping in the back sometimes for different events, and finally, we just said, let's get rid of all of it.

So, there's a bunch of stuff here for sale, and some great values, and some incredible prices. Right, so you've been looking for that eclipsis, what's it called, machine? Where you're elliptical. There you go. Right, you're wanting to ellipticize.

Yes, you're right. That's what it is.

Well, let me tell you, this guy has a keen eye. This is a guy, like, they could make. Billions if they put him and Linda on a TV series, okay? Because he goes into his states. He has a nose for what's good, what's valuable.

He makes reasonable offers, and people don't want it anymore. John Wright, you pull your truck up, and then you bring it back here. And then all of a sudden, someone's coming in here and they're buying a treasure, a brand name, really nice, you know, love seat, a really nice, you know, sofa, everything, for pennies on the dollar. And they're blessed, you're blessed, the homeowner who sold it to you, because maybe. Mom and dad moved to a retirement home.

They had to get this stuff. They didn't want to take it. They didn't want to take all this stuff to Arizona. And so here it ends up here, and now some of it's out there right now, and the biggest yard still going on in North Carolina today. Right.

I wouldn't necessarily say pennies on the dollar, more maybe nickels and dimes on the dollar. There you go, see there, see, to the point. But we definitely come out, we pay you, we pick everything up. We give you the white glove treatment. You don't have to lift a finger, and we're there for you.

We've been fortunate enough to bless a lot of people in the triad through the years, and this is maybe just another way we're trying to give back. And they've been and out of the Epperson House a lot, and they will come to your place and they'll pay you cash on the spot for whatever you're trying to unload. I had to say get rid of, and I had to say used, but honestly, You know, one man's trash is another man's treasure, right, John? Absolutely. The car's going to drive off, and it's already gone.

Someone might have bought that. Berlin Bonte's moped. Yeah. Or whatever that thing, fancy. It's electric bike, electro scooter.

Yeah. Oh, and the banner just fell down right on top of me. We're having more fun.

Now, look, don't sandbag on us, listeners. Come out right now. Come out and hang out and get Delicious, thank you, Krispy Kreme. The hot light's on because the sun is piping right down on these 10 dozen donuts we brought out, which are dwindling down.

Now we probably have about 6 dozen left.

So, say you've been wanting some of this. It's called Lodge Iron. Yes, right? You've been wanting that. And like right now, it's marked way down.

But if you get here by two, it's going to go down another 50% of what it's marked right this minute. I think we have about 30 to 50 pieces of Lodge right now, and all of it's brand new, never been used, came right out of the box. And a lot of people buy stuff like that, never use it. Before, and I think my wife was saving those because she thought we'd be cooking off an iron, but we never have.

So I finally mustered up the courage to sell it, and now it's for sale. But again, there's just a little story probably behind everything back here. If you're wanting a silk tree, like you've been wanting that, the stuff has got to go. That's what they're saying. It's going to go down 50%, and then at 4 o'clock, because you only got an hour left, it's going to go down to 70%.

Yeah, if you get it here at 4%, you will get the deal of your life, that's for sure.

Well, look, look, it's summertime. It's the season for weddings, for graduations. It's the season for anniversaries. I mean, you're always saying, what do I get for someone that has everything? Let me tell you something.

Then got that over there. And by that, I mean a bunch of stuff, like the amazing chandelier. All those deer heads, all those, all those. I mean, that's more than a buck, but it's worth it, right, Robbie? It'll stop right in your driveway.

That buck will stop here. Or you can pass it, right? And I've never seen it. It's really unbelievable. The taxidermy because it's just there.

There's a turkey. There are ducks. There are fish. And you need to get in here soon. Before you scale back.

The forecast is calling for some clouds later on the day, and then they'll turn into reindeer, Robbie.

So very nice. Very nice. We actually sold like a 150-year-old. Alligator yesterday. It was probably eight feet long and it was getting longer every day.

Well, it's gone now, I can tell you. It could have been nine feet. See, that's the kind of stuff. I mean, imagine walking. Imagine aunt and uncle come to visit the house.

What is that in our room? What's that giant alligator? It's funny you mentioned that because I remember when I bought it, I was in the upstairs, kind of a fixed room above a garage. And as I was walking past the sofa, the guy had it laying on the ground, and I about jumped through the ceiling. It caught me a little off guard.

And this is where I came. You know, Big Stew, toward the end of his life, had to walk with the king. I took a picture, thanks to John Kelly here and Linda Kelly and the folks at CFE, where we are right now, broadcasting live, the largest yard sale in North Carolina happening right today. Get over here while supplies left. I mean, this stuff's moving fast.

A lady just walked out of the store and said, I walked by an amazing cherry wood desk or table. And then she says, I go to check on the price, I walk back, it's gone. I mean, that's what's happening here. Oh, there's chairs going on in my side. I couldn't even believe it.

Yeah, so I'm in your office, and I see all these amazing. Absolutely amazing canes. I mean, antique canes, porcelain canes, all kinds of canes with swords in them. And I'm not, I don't even know if you may have sold all those, but he actually gave me. I still have the sword cane he gave me.

Do you have it?

Okay, so I used it yesterday. I emailed Big Stew. John knew what he was going through. John said, take one. I'm like, are you kidding me?

He said, take one. And so I big Stu and I FaceTimed or I figured out, and I took him home. We still probably have it at the house just to remember him by, remember you guys by. But just, I mean, that kind of generosity, you guys have been a blessing to this community. And this is a way you're still giving back by making this yard sale available.

But this is also a way for people to support a great Christian radio partner. And I say that on behalf of all of our Christian radio partners, from Toledo to Utah to Raleigh to Richmond, you know, to Charlotte that are listening to this great program, Kingdom Pursuits on the Truth Network. I'm Stu Everson.

Next to me is John Kelly, the owner and the founder, along with his wife Linda, of Consignment Furniture Emporium, CFE. Find him on Facebook. It's worth a trip to Winston-Salem. to come to this place. I'm telling you, people come from all over the country.

You don't have to come from Oregon to be an Oregon donor, right, Robbie Dillmore? How about that? I love the idea. Or a piano donor. Because we got pianos.

So it was kind of a It was kind of a leading for them to uh not to have a flood, but to be able to come up here and find exactly what they had lost.

So it was uh It was good, but You know, I now live up here, so, but I still enjoy walking through the store. And just now, I walked through here and seen some stuff I hadn't seen before. That's right. One-of-a-kind pieces. I mean, it's very unique.
