The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)
Bought these for myself last night off ebay, either got a smoking deal, or merely a good price. The item topic says Cordovan and the 9107 matches some google searches for AE MacNeil Shell, but the photos seem like the leather is creased like standard calfskin. What's the verdict shell cordovan...- cdgreg

The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)
Hey everyone, I hope all is well in thrifting and flipping land. Last week I had my favorite suit, which I originally bought from one of you fine gentlemen in this thread, accidentally tear/ruined. Thus, I am taking this opportunity to hopefully pick up two Navy Blue suits (one solid Navy Blue...- cdgreg

Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions
Hey all, I hope everyone's selling is going well. I hopped on ebay in the last day or two to clear out some of my shoes/ties that I do not wear and as I was listing I found it odd that item specifics were no longer an option in the quick listing tool. I tried the advanced listing tool but it...- cdgreg

Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc
Thank you for the feedback - Yup, in the comparison pic the shoe on the right is the Stratton. The mark on the sole in the photo is just a smudge from wearing today, there is no marking to represent a recraft or second. I do wonder though if the MacNeil was ever re-crafted as the sole does not...- cdgreg

Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc
Evening everyone, I am looking for a bit of feedback. Well over a year ago I thrifted a pair of MacNeils in 11C. They feel pretty good width wise, but are definitely a bit too long. Regardless, because they were thrifted and in tremendous shape I kept them for myself. Last week, I decided to...- cdgreg

Hey everyone, I hope the thrifting gods are being friendly to everyone. I just wanted to drop in and recognize/say thank you to @GMMcL . A number of times I have come across one of his suits while surfing on ebay. Each time I have contacted him to purchase, the suit has always been top notch...- cdgreg

The official thrift/discount store bragging thread
Hi thrifting gents, I'm moving up the career ladder and where trouser/sport coat used to be acceptable and nice looking, two piece suits are now the expectation. I'm good with solid suits, and don't want anything too flashy, but I'm looking for a pinstripe suit in navy blue and one gray. If...- cdgreg

Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions
Well gentlemen, I wanted to say thank you and goodbye. I'm "retiring" from ebay thrift flipping since I'm taking the next step in my career, and finding a new side business which is a bit more passive. I'll be starting the Superintendent's Development Program in about two weeks, and I've...- cdgreg

As angry as I would be, you may want to swallow your pride temporarily, ignore his "deplorable" comment, and simply respond, "I'm sorry you felt that the experience was a neutral one, what can I do to change your feelings to a positive experience?" If he ignores you and ebay eventually reviews...- cdgreg

Start them high and leave them high, you'll find a buyer. I can't find the completed auction for some reason, but I sold a pair for a hell of a lot more than I expected earlier this year. Whatever works! I'm also generally the "babies survived eons without this..." guy as well, but it...- cdgreg

The official thrift/discount store bragging thread
If you haven't purchased one yet, buy a children's noise maker from walmart. It will allow you to play white noise, heart beat, water, whatever. It's peaceful and more important, we crank it to 100% so it drowns out sounds from outside the babies room and thus he's not woken up as easily. We...- cdgreg

The (Un)Official Thrift Buy /Sell / Trade / Want Thread
Went to JC Penny's today to try on the boots... I'm normally an 11, but a 10.5 was a better fit on both the brown wingtips and the black cap toe. This is consistent with the online reviews that say size down half a size. There is a two day sale today and tomorrow with an extra 15% off if you...- cdgreg
