Thrift Shop Pickups - Page 11

They are ending on eBay tonight

TMichaelSC · 04-16-2014, 12:49 PM

I'm going back tomorrow. Aside from jerseys, is it the bigger-sized Hawaiin shirts and brand-name dress shirts that sell best? Polo-type shirts as well?

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Tom

My best find to date. $15 for the pair

TwinGnats · 04-16-2014, 09:56 PM

That's pretty cool, the only auto I've found was on a minor league youth jersey and I couldn't figure out who it was.

How do you guys sell the Ralph Lauren shirts for so much? I hardly get any interest in mine at all.

Here are the ones I have listed at the moment, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I quickly realized that "regular" RL Polo shirts are pretty much just like any other regular shirt. At first I was picking up anything RL Polo for a few dollars each only to realize I had zero interest from anyone when selling them for bargain prices such as yours.

I did get lucky and find a shirt with the Bear on it and sold it for $20 and paid $4. I have a fair share of stuff just sitting in my room that I picked up thinking it was a good item to resell only to find out there is no market for the items I bought. I am new to this but it is fun and money can be made once you learned what to look for.

Best of luck in everybody's searches. Some of you guys are fortunate with locations. I am happy to buy something for $4 and sell for $15 just b/c the selection is not promising where I live.

I actually don't find much Ralph Lauren. The last polo I sold was 2xt which sold fast because of the size. I wouldn't mind a tutorial on what is good and what to stay away from.

pearljam_cubbies · 04-17-2014, 12:54 PM

How do you guys handle shipping? I haven't really seen much difference in interest with charging for shipping vs free shipping other than with free shipping it helps dsr ratings.

TwinGnats · 04-19-2014, 12:25 PM

Picked up a couple of things on the way to work. Golden Grahams Hat (made in usa, must be vintage), a crazy adidas bahamas track jacket and a jersey from the 2012 RNC from the Michigan Delegation. Has Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and three other autographs on it I couldn't figure out.

I figured it was worth a pickup. While I'm a Republican, I'm also a libertarian so I'm not really a fan of those three. Hoping there is a Bobby Jindal on there. I can have someone make me a cut signature custom.

gowizards0 · 04-19-2014, 03:03 PM

What envelopes do you guys use to ship jerseys and shirts? I've been using te padded ones from the PO but they are pricey

raiderguy10 · 04-19-2014, 03:05 PM

I use 10x13 clasp envelopes. Put them in a plastic bag and fold it. No need for a bubble mailer, they won't break

benshobbies · 04-19-2014, 04:24 PM

This has been an awesome thread. Keep it up guys. Been following it the past month & learning a lot. I don't normally do local pickups. Its interesting.

RandysHobby · 04-19-2014, 05:41 PM

Found a sweet Eagles sweatshirt for 6 bucks but Im keeping that! Anyone have a list of what Hawian shirts are good?

TwinGnats · 04-19-2014, 05:46 PM

Tommy Bahama for sure, other than that it's the print.

OK cool. When yo usaw print you mean crazy sharks or something interesting?

TwinGnats · 04-19-2014, 06:20 PM

I haven't sold that many but I've gotten four Tommy Bahamas and three sold within a couple of days. The one left has these great buttons but its a subtle leaf design. I actually think the ones with a scene are better sellers but it's a Hawaiian shirt. Crazier the better.

Best Of Thrift Haul 04/19/14 - Imgur

my small haul today.

TwinGnats · 04-19-2014, 10:03 PM

One of the signatures on the hockey jersey is Gordie Howe

pearljam_cubbies · 04-20-2014, 02:17 AM

Can't believe someone just gave away a Gordie Howe autograph...

TwinGnats · 04-20-2014, 03:10 PM

I found an article where they talked about Gordie signing for a fundraiser/party hosted by the Attorney General of Michigan. It's a perfect signature. The politican sigs are a little rough, but I think it's more due to a dull sharpie and the bad location (sign the numbers people!). I had one person guess Mike Huckabee for the other sig on the 0 but it doesn't look right to me. The one with the T is just odd, how do I even search for that?

I think on the O it is just Gordie Howe and underneath MR Hockey #9 unless you are talking about something else.

Patsfan · 04-20-2014, 08:28 PM

So myself, the wife and the kids went to Easter breakfast with my dad today and the we decided to go out "hunting"...LOL

So our first stop was the local thrift store and I spent a grand total of: Approximately $15

Any info on any of this would be great, Ive looked some of it up and have a pretty good idea what it goes for but still anything you "experts" can throw out would be great.

Ralph Lauren Dress Shirt: not sure if this is really worth anything but for .99 cents I figured what the heck!

Mens Size Large

Munsingwear Hawaiin Shirt Mens Size X-Large

Drew Brees Reebok Jersey Size Youth X-Large (Is this one I can list as authentic ? Honestly don't know

)

Vintage Florida Gators Starter Jacket Size Mens Large

Vintage Sears Talking Computron

Vintage Magnajector in Original box with instructions - small piece broke off but it still works and the piece that broke off is fixable but don't know if I should fix it as it will be noticeable

Patsfan · 04-20-2014, 08:33 PM

So after the thrift store we managed to find the one yard sale around on Easter day....LOL, and they had some descent WWE wrestling stuff so for a grand total of: $27

55 Loose action figures + accessories (ladder, stretcher, 3 steel chairs, trash can, ring bell, etc...)

2 action figures still in the original package, cards are not mint but I would say near mint

WWE boom box (AM, FM, CD), antenna is still there (ive found this to be a problem with them always missing) and works great
