I stumbled across a local flipper's ebay store, and it was terrible, in particular a bunch of old high quality RL kits and vintage BB suits in my size.

I see the guy with his cart full of stuff often too, he even returns what he can't sell on ebay.

Yes, but there are two Dunhill's. There's Alfred Dunhill of London (which started off doing auto accessories, but now does high end menswear) and Dunhill Tailors of NYC.

Different situation, but I PSA'd an inexpensive pair of EGs at a certain Virginia store last December. Sure enough, they showed up on Ebay soon after, at nearly four times the price. I admit I'm glad to see that they're still sitting on Ebay, unsold.

There was a Made in USA vintage Chaps camel hair I had to leave since I am afraid of the women of the house who bug me when I wear really vintage stuff.
Here they are:

Just bought this Corneliani off eBay from England for about $180 shipped. Looking forward to getting it in the mail.

Picked up some almost new Iron Age longwings for 24 bucks. As far as I can tell, it's full grain pebble grain leather. Funny thing is that it has a steel toe, but you'd never know. It fits a little snug, but it'll suffice for my ****** weather shoes. Goodyear welted with leather sole and rubber heel. Says it was made for Bostonian. I know that Iron Age went out of business in 2007.

Found this Roberto Cavalli 100% leather jacket

It has some issues, but plan on selling, was wondering what you guys think it would sell for.

Wow - you sir are on a roll! I've only once seen a PZ Sartoriale item in person - an orphaned suit jacket actually. The quality of that jacket was amazing. What size is it? Do you plan on selling it?
