Love finding SCOTTeVest's. Such good money and it reminds me of how big of an a$$hole that guy was on Shark Tank. Just sold a jacket for $70. Probably could've held out for more, but I like to burn and turn.

Went to the bar to watch the Chiefs today and hit 3 goodwills on the way home. Had a heck of a haul with what I believe may be my biggest find ever!

Got a couple nice pairs of Footjoy saddle golf shoes (you'd be surprised at what these sell for in good shape)


I picked up the vintage Cadillac hat for 99 cents but now that I got it home, I'm pretty sure it's not real. Gonna do some more checking on it.


A damn near perfect pair of Air Jordan Retro AJKO I's...


Adidas Kansas Jersey (I'm from Kansas so this will sell well here)


Vintage Derrick Thomas jersey!


Notre Dame alternate green!


A PERFECT vintage Reggie White Champion jersey!


I thought the Reggie White Jersey was my big ticket item, but they had this in the glass case at the checkout. It was $4.00 so I thought, what the hell?....it has to be worth $4. I have to do some more checking, but it appears that it is a Canadian convention piece that sells for around $900-1000. I about passed out. Maybe if we have a die cast expert on the site they can help verify.

You might double check in the Nascar thread. I think you are correct. Only 500 made from a convention in Canada. I believe it should have the date and location under the trunk or back part of the trunk. And I could be wrong as I don't buy them anymore, but not having the box brings the price down substantially. Bet you can still get a few hundred. Maybe more. Hard to say as the Nascar diecast market isn't what it used to be. Good luck either way. Nice pick ups

Fake or not, that Cadillac hat should do well. I get $25 for generic luxury car hats all the time, being satin style Id list for prob double that.

If anyone is looking to unload any bulk vintage clothing, Ive got another vintage clothing show coming up in a month. Looking for tshirts, sweatshirts, windbreakers, jackets, hats, etc. of bands, sports, name brands (polo, guess, tommy hilfiger). Primarily interested in 80s & 90s, but willing to buy anything that looks unique and is pre 2000.

Picked this up for around $5 at the goodwill outlet. They sell for $50-$70. Too bad my son wants to keep it...

Not a flea market but a bid board did pretty well last week.

Got a Dale Murphy Mitchell Ness Jersey with tags for 13
Got a pretty much brand new leather couch (no staining, really nice) for 85
Got some cards - SGC 100 ohtani topps now for 12 was prob the best of the bunch (a few other decent cards tho)
Some old mickey mantle ads from magazines framed for 2.50
Don Larson Auto framed for 5 (no COA unfortunately, but nice enough to put a bid on just for frame/poster)
A few old Jim Beam Decanters

Going to a few thrift stores/flea markets tomorrow so hopefully can add to what ive gotten this past couple weeks

You might eventually find a buyer, but I find caps from small local companies do not do as well, even though they are often rare. The large nationally known brands do much better.

I bet you can get $20 just because it has a cool name.

i would get the word vintage snapback truckers cap in the title if at all possible.

Sonce the name is rather uniques, I would probably put a 49.99 BO and seriously consider take anything over 20.00. If not sold after a couple of months personally I would just try to liquidate it.
