Thrift Shop Pickups - Page 6

r0yals2012 · 03-29-2014, 09:56 PM

I mostly am a garage saler. I like them tons better than thrift stores. Today I found a new Wii NFL Training Camp game for $1, a light up Chiefs guy for $1, an old NFL puzzle for $1, a 2007 Cardinals Program and a 2007 Cardinals Scorecard signed by Ryan Ludwick for 50 cents each. And a gameboy sp for $1, some Mr. Christmas thing for $5, and a brand new Jordan jersey from like Champs for $1.

Do you guys find that men's or women's clothes sell better? Do all of you sell on Instagram like one member stated he did?

I went in once to donate some stuff and bought a really rare USA Soccer Scarf for $10. They made 5 or 6, each with a different verse from the national anthem, and handed them out to ticketholders at each respective game.

I find that men's clothing sells better than women's, however I cater to a younger crowd and having both genders buying my items. Marsha Ambrosius has recently became a customer of ours, which has been pretty great for business. She's done songs with Nas, Kanye, and plenty of other rappers I've never heard of. She's helped us gain an extra 500 followers alone in the last eight days. Instagram is our main source of income on the vintage stuff. No eBay fees and most of the time people will just gift the money, which is nice on bigger purchases, but also risky. If you guys are on Instagram feel free to drop by and check out our stuff. Including a couple of finds from today too. Sorry if this post is everywhere. Beer.

Cool stuff freewheel! I am going to give it a shot and have some fun with it. My daughter is teenage girl level expert at Instagram so will be something fun for us to do together.

What size is the kemp jsy?

spencer2986 · 03-30-2014, 10:42 AM

Nice thread indeed. Some of you guys are in PRIME locations for some sweet pick-ups. Not so much for me so I have to settle for anything that seems decent. I am not exactly sure what this is if someone can chime in. Maybe a soccer shirt...? Got it for $4.00

KEARYCOLBERT83 · 03-30-2014, 10:54 AM

Snagged this yesterday morning. Any ideas of exactly what it is? My guess was either late 80's/early 90's Nike Running gear or Tennis Jacket.

Pink Neon, but is for sure a men's size. The only thing I can find on ebay that's like this is from the Agassi tennis stuff and they go like $35-50

Anyone have experience shipping hats? If so what is the best way to ship them to prevent damage in shipment?

TwinGnats · 03-30-2014, 12:59 PM

I use 8x8x8 boxes, they're a little bigger than you need but more versatile for other items you might want to ship. Bought a 50 count lot off eBay for $30. Cost me 3.50ish retail, finally got myh printer so I think less than $3.00. Some send in poly bags and say they get there just fine, but for an extra 60 cents I'd rather use the box. Finally

What is the weight of these boxes with nothing in them?

TwinGnats · 03-30-2014, 02:22 PM

I just shipped out a USSSA hat in the 8x8 and it came to 9.5 oz. $3.58 retail. Next time I have my scale out I'll weigh the empty.

Do you just ship first class? Or priority?

TwinGnats · 03-30-2014, 02:38 PM

first class, I've also seen a video where they were using 6x6x6. The hat just fits, but since I was starting out I'd rather pay a tiny bit more shipping and have the versatility I stated earlier. I'm sure I'll, at some point, have multiple sizes and use the right box with the item.

Yeah boxes are the way to go with hats definitely. And as long as it is under 13 ounces then you can send first class. Win/win.

crazygrover · 03-30-2014, 09:47 PM

Went to only 1 store today as the weather was so nice today.

KEARYCOLBERT83 · 03-30-2014, 09:55 PM

Jopeal · 03-30-2014, 09:58 PM

I believe it's just a referee's shirt. I don't think it's worth that much...
