Suited, the other thing to think about is that if you're just starting out on eBay you're gonna have selling limits in categories like men's clothing... Something like 20 items per 30 days for the first 3 months. 

Went and hit a couple places today. I'm just gonna assume that Mox and Henry Boogers are sucking everything up, because it's been pretty dry out there. Pics of the one thing I got today and the stuff I got yesterday later. Might be able to hit one more spot today, but it's been pretty disappointing so far. 

These are the limits I am referring to, and my motivation for wanting to list some so-so items and gather feedback while I'm building an inventory of higher quality items which I'll then be able to list restriction free. I do not have the nuanced brand knowledge that others here have when it comes to lines with certain brands, brands that I normally don't wear - this thread will continue to provide insight, tho. Thanks for the input.

Hit up 3 stores and all I have to show for it are 3 pairs of shoe trees. Lame.

And some cool jazz:

NICE!

Heh. Not I. Aside from the shoes, I haven't found anything noteworthy in weeks.

Not that I'm complaining about the shoe finds. I prefer those anyway.

My one tiny sip of water today, a Samuelsohn mid-blue SC in rare 38R!
(All my 38R brothas: I'm thinking of keeping but will fly a flag if I decide to let it go).

Love it. If it was 2 button, I would demand you let it go.

No, really, what's this 35K haul...did Kanye forget to pay his public storage bill or something?

I...am...intrigued!

More boringly: Bill's M1 flat front size 38, broscomeatme

A few pics of what I got yesterday.

Here are those shells I asked about. Still no clue what they are other than "Genuine Shell Cordovan" as marked on the sole. Now I need to immerse them in a vat of Venetian Creme or Lexol and see what they look like.


Some cool cufflinks:

Just to be clear, the shells are/will be available, but I'd like to figure out what they are. Sorry though, I think these are too small for those of us with huge feet (!), I think the 75 in the side panel might be a size reference and that looks about right. It's raining tiny shells up here in MKE lately. (OK, two pairs, but up till now I usually found 12s and stuff)

7.5 you say...

Well... this is relevant to my interests...

Other than the dior ties, you can probably sell everything. Just not for margins that I would be happy with. I think some Valentino stuff may actually be worth money, but since I don't know the difference, I pass on it all. And actually, the burberrys jacket/pants you can probably trick someone into buying, but it's not the "good" stuff.

Only chiming in to observe I HAVE the Val DB suit. Bought as an employee. Loved it then and now. Not made by Isaia, but it's still got great lines. Will post a thrift fit next time I wear it -- maybe tomorrow.

na this wasnt thrifting lol

I don't care WTF it was, it gave me a massive, RAGING ... well, you know the rest; don't want the mods on ******.
Srsly interested in hearing about my size.


Did a little flea marketing and thrifting today. A couple of Ebay fodder ties (Pink, Boss). Was centimeters away from buying several MCM and mission style pieces, but got cold feet at last minute. Also had my hands on a great 100% cashmere glenplaid piece until I realized that the buttons were on the wrong side. SHE WAS A MAN, MAN!

Anywho, here's today's thrift fit:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Shirt: Aeropostale, gift from HS girlfriend 20+ yrs ago
Tie: Hilfiger, Ebayed by me before I knew better
Denim: Eddie Bauer, with some customizing care of my bathroom remodel, thrifted by me
Time spent with daughters 1 and 2, priceless.

Here's the stuff I found this weekend

A wide-wale Orvis cord blazer... size 40R but fits me well, n/a













The best part is that it was $3.98 + tax and I found a quarter in the pocket

Canali tan / blue glenplaid SC, 56 R EU available












Hickey Freeman micro-houndstooth SC slim 41 R, available












Got this clock for my place


NWT BB merino wool cardigan, XL with big smoked MOP buttons, available








The brothers of the blackwatch NOS flannel BB pants I found last week. These are also NOS vintage BB that are unhemmed and likely around 36 waist. Available














Here's the dark gray Corneliani for PRL trousers, 33, available but pre-dibsed by Patrologia












A decent pair of scotchgrain AE Becker's, size 9.5D, available pretty cheap if someone needs some decent beater / rain shoes. These are obviously pre-cleaning, etc.












That plus a couple things for me... not an exciting weekend

 

[grendel]

Here's the stuff I DIDN'T pick up



Anyone seen this before? This was a flannel plaid shirt. Is this cone mills like the denim?


Kinda cool desk. This ring a bell with any of you furniture guys?


Gray flannel Lubiam suit. Probably around a 38. Lubiam doesn't flip that well, so I left it, but it's been there a couple weeks so if someone wants it I could proxy.









This one made me sad... Really nice until I saw the moth hole








J Peterman doesn't seem to flip consistently. This Tiroler Loden was tempting though. Probably around a 46, I think, if someone is interested. Missing a couple sleeve buttons, but otherwise good, I think.

35k haul

When you start finding the boxes of big sizes and wonder to yourself "who the f would fit in this", remember the answer is very possibly me. Congratulations and I can only imagine the constant Christmas morning vibe every time you open a box. Your face probably hurts from smiling so much!
