I'm going to highlight some of my items up for auction that are ending in the next hour or so:



While not labelled as such, this is a navy blue sport jacket from Spier & Mackay, with a beautiful red lining inside. This is best suited for those who are a 34-36 chest, given the measurements in Spoo's listing (19.25" P2P). No bids at the moment, too!

The second S&M sport coat, a grey Prince of Wales check with a hint of blue. Size 36R Contemporary, BNWT. Currently at $20 bucks and change!

Another 36R Contemporary sport coat from Spier and Mackay, this time in a tan gun club check. I wore this one a couple of times, but never got an opportunity to wear it much.

Last but certainly not least, a Size S zip cardigan jacket from Universal Works, from their FW15 season. Contrast sleeves, smooth zipper, and pockets suitable for your hands or your wallet. Goes well over a button up shirt or with a t-shirt.

Oh man, somebody please bid up that YH pink shirt. That's thievery at the current cost...if only I wouldn't literally split the seams trying to fit into it.
Also, I am gutted at the size of those Ring Jackets...those are gorgeous looking pieces.

I got sniped thrice tonight.

How do "FOUNDERS" loafers run? I may go in for those.

Congrats to whomever got the fresco and stone twill Pantas. If they don't work out, PM me.

if you bought that for $6 that explains why you can make a living reselling other people's stuff. something like that would probably sell for $50 in stores here in canada, even though it has an ugly scar, it will probably have an as-is tag and sit on the rack for months until it gets bought. i dunno how many resellers of menswear there are in canada, i don't think there is enough profit unless you can get stuff in bulk or wholesale.

matt moves product. volume usually beats higher margins

question for all, what are your thoughts on bidding early? (i know you are suppose to bid as late as possible on ebay, to not show your hand) On one of the auctions i bid up the price of the item really high (but not to the max, still to about what it sells for normally, to about 80% of the final price), way before the auction ended on sunday. on the last day of auction i decided i didnt want it anymore because i would rather wait for another color (instead of having something for a good price and be stuck with it for years), so i didn't bid anymore. later on i took a peak at the auction to see what the final price was and it was about 50% higher than what the average selling price normally is. isn't that awesome?

 

[Eli Curt]

Sometimes, I find you so difficult to understand

I do both. I bid often and I bid early if I know it's going to sell for much more than I'm willing to shell out. If I'm serious about it, I may bid in small increments to test where the other guy is. If you're able to stay just below the other bidder, he doesn't get a notification he's outbid.

But if he loves it enough, he'll be checking back anyways and when he sees he's bid up to his limit, he'll just bump it up. Then you're SOL either way.

TL;DR - either method has its merits.
