this is a Generation 1 Fortress Maximus, the body itself is only worth about $80 in good shape, its the parts that people want so they can complete theirs. When the first movie came out I sold mine, 100% complete with box for $1300. I paid $5 for this and have sold off most of the parts for over $250, I think I still have about another $100 to $200 left.

For those that sell clothes, does size matter?

Ive found that the bigger the better....most of my stuff that sells really fast is 2xl or bigger. I stay away from kids sizes and mens smalls. I stock up on Large too though since that's my size and if something doesn't sell that I think is cool ill wear it.

3x and above. Anything 2XL does great too. Brand names just don't make much in those sizes.

Decided to try my luck at some goodwills and other thriftshops around town. Looked like everything had already been picked through, but I managed to find these for a total of $12! The Jersey is Latrell Sprewell, Any info on him? Everything is available if anyone is interested! Thanks

Spreewell has a small cult following. Youll do well with that

Forgot to post but also picked up a sealed mine craft game for the xbox for 7$, sells pretty well on ebay

At the start of the last football season, I found 8 of the jersey below in various sizes at local Burlington Coat Factories. I bought each of them for $25-35 each and sold them for $105-115 each. I also found a set of Titleist DCI golf irons at a local Goodwill. I paid 99 cents per club for them. Sold them on ebay for $112. At the same Goodwill I found Call of Duty Black Ops on PS3 for $1.99. Now that spring has sprung, I am so gonna start hitting up garage sales.

ton of Hawaiian shirts today. I finally found a pair of shoes that need cleaning that fit me, so I'm going to try and learn how to clean them up. I wish the Garciaparra was my size though.

You have some great graphics on the Hawaiian shirts. What brands are the 4 in the bottom picture? I think I see one Hilo Hattie on the far right but unsure.

[slugger82685]

dang i wish i found items like these at the stores by me....all i every find is junk

[ChicagoCubsWS]

I went to Iowa City with a bud to try and graph Yelawolf. Unfortunately we missed his sound check so to make up for it we hit a Goodwill and Salvation Army. Spent $20 total and will make out good.


Harley Davidson 110th Anniversary Shirt. Paid $3.50 will get $50.


Cal State Fullerton 04 CWS Jersey. Paid $3.50 will get $50.


Wrangler Western Shirt. Paid $3.50 will get $25.


Tommy Bahama Silk Shirt. Paid $3.50 will get $25.


Tommy Bahama Polo. Paid $3.50 will get $15.

Stopped by a salvation army on my way home. Two pieces of Oakland sports apparel. Any info on the logo on the jersey? I'm assuming it's the A's, but couldn't find any others on the bay. Here's the same patch for reference Oakland A's Round Elephant Sunburst Emblem Sleeve Patch Jersey MLB Logo | eBay
I also found this Raiders Tailgating tour shirt from '08 new with tags! Both are available...

[TwinGnats]

The brands for the Hawaiian shirts from left to right are:

Ralph Lauren
Hawaiian Tropic
Puritan
Ocean Current
Gramicci
Cherokee Waikiki
Hawaloha
Kilo Katties

I think I picked up another 6 or 7. Normally I wouldn't touch the Puritan or Cherokee since they're not great brands but I figured that the print had more to do with value than the brand. I started out just looking for silk ones thinking they would do better, but I've sold some Rayon ones for as much as I've sold a Tommy Bahama. I'm still learning about what to look for but for now if I can get it for $2 and the print is good, I'm going to pick it up, regardless of the brand.
