I've got a half dozen of these, including a spectacularly ugly limited edition all-silk number, that I need to get up on fleabay....

Did anyone else read this and have to go back up to find out what he meant by MMF, because "money market fund" wasn't the first thing that came to mind?

So... degenerate gamblers gambling (quite elaborately) on how much a degenerate gambler had in the account he just withdrew from? There's an MC Escher painting in there somewhere.

Because his (and our) other hobby, picking up worn clothing that someone felt was the worst thing in their closet, then either wearing or reselling it is less creepy?


Thanks for the kind words on the haul, dudes. Listed my Trafalgars today, before DM7 floods the market. Ends Superbowl Sunday, but something tells me that the dudes bidding up Trafalgar braces aren't going to be impacted by the Superbowl.

Damn. Nice return on that fugly RG. The best I've done this year shop far:

$2.00 Hermes tie sold for $147.00

Today I picked up like 10 pairs of incotex, zegna, LP, brioni, canali pants. I passed on about 15 zanella crazy pleated pants.


On the last store there was absolutely nothing good except for these 3 gems.

The suit is Liverano & Liverano. Dated and has some stains but for $9 I couldn't bear to leave it. Then out of a hundred ties 1 Hermes for $1.50! And then I paid cash instead of credit and got a 1944 silver quarter as change.

Yes, because it's the norm on this thread. biggrin.gif Not creepy at all, unless you insist on wearing articles with questionable stains on it...especially around the groin region...uhoh.gif

That much in a month is still nothing to shake a stick at. It still takes hard work and dedication. I remember back a few years ago when I was super excited to do $100 in a week.

Congrats Wes! That truly was an awesome score.

 

Spoiler from my weekend. Not an epic weekend, nor anywhere near the $17 Drakes grenadine, but I feel I did pretty well. Plus, I picked up a couple. More pics. to come tomorrow.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
