You guys can check out my eBay link for some of my recent finds..both active and completed.

All clothing was found at thrift shops.

Let's not make this a eBay spam thread. Stop being lazy and show us what you picked up.

Had to go return the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hoodie due to a rip in the seam that I didn't see. And a Columbia jacket that had a hidden cig burn...but found some more stuff while I was there. I have a few questions about the one piece so ill see if anyone knows.

I found a Adidas navy blue wind breaker pullover with the #17 written in sharpie on the tag inside...being in PA my first thought was maybe a sideline jacket for a PSU athlete...anyone have any experience with team issued stuff with sharpie markings on tags? I can post a pic later.

Hardly a spam thread. I am sorry I would rather show you the 40+ listings on one page rather then posting pics, which now that ImageShack charges I have no way to do.

I had plenty of tips to share but after that remark, I will just let you continue to sell your $7.77 shirts.

Freewheelburnin · 03-27-2014, 07:06 PM

These are from January. Someone asked to see earlier in the thread. Paid $14.50 for all of this.

TwinGnats · 03-27-2014, 09:06 PM

Oh noes whatever will I do without your wisdom. It hasn't been a spam thread, people have been posting their finds and sharing information. You're the first to just tell people to buy stuff from you. My statement was tongue in cheek anyways, no reason to start crying about it.

I'll tell you what though, I'm not a bitter person so I'll still try and help you, use imgur, had a lot of people suggest it over the PB I was using and I like it a lot.

What is that first thing, wall hanging? tablecloth? looks cool. I tried to look through ties but it was a bear. Didn't help that I didn't know what I was looking for.

I honestly was not trying to get people to buy. I assumed everyone here buys from thrift shops and will not pay eBay prices for things.

I will try imgur though. Was pissed when ImageShack starting charging.

TwinGnats · 03-28-2014, 09:10 AM

Like I said my comment was tongue in cheek anyways. No worries.

Picked up some decent stuff today, was rough though. Not much sports stuff left but scored some nicer name brand dress shirts and some nike stuff. Ill post some pics later.

xbignick · 03-29-2014, 05:33 PM

Never been to a thrift shop really, don't know of any in the area, but seem like they would be better in more rural areas with where the supply would come from. Interesting thread, like reading through it.

TwinGnats · 03-29-2014, 05:41 PM

I'm not a fan of the ones downtown. The one in St. Paul has mildew on everything, my guess it has water problems. For someone who focuses on apparel...no reason to even set foot in there. Suburbs are the best IMO. Thats where all the parents where buying their kids love.

I find good stuff in high income areas...a lot of designer clothing. I bought an Armani dress shirt today for $5

TwinGnats · 03-29-2014, 06:59 PM

I'm I'm looking for ralph lauren, etc, then high income. If I'm looking for sports I've noticed the middle class suburbs are the best for that.

It sounds like you and I are after similar items. I sell A LOT of Polo. Found a nice jean jacket made for the 92 Olympics recently. It sold for a shade under $300 and I only paid $2. Would love to see some of your Polo stuff.

I found 6 Ralph Lauren Polo dress shirts today for $4.49 a piece. Most are selling for $15-20. Thought that was a decent score.
