The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[highlifeman]

I'm back kids. Hey, what's the pit to pit on that Salvatore Ferragamo sportcoat? Maybe one time I could get lucky...

What size are they? I might be interested...

Sorry @ that guys, updated post w/ sizes........

I try to make sure every one of my listings has at minimum 6 pictures (for a basic button up shirt). If I have more then 12 pictures (like a suit). I upload the most important 12 to the ebay gallery and then include ALL of them in HTML format as I find it nicer to view when using a computer. I dont even look at the gallery pictures if I can avoid it. The nice thing with HTML is that you can make them BIG, no reason not to upload them to HTML & use the gallery IMO, unless you really want to save the extra time (like 60 seconds??) to copy and paste html photo photobucket or wherever, PLUS you need the HTML for the B&S adds here (well I do anyway).

Also got some pictures of these from yesterday. Was 50/50 on buying them as they need new heels, but first pair of V cleats I have seen and thought they would clean up nice (which they did).

I have no beef with you posting your moderately brag worthy finds and letting us know that they are available, but please do not list a "for sale" price

And since you already posted it, not to cock block, but I doubt anyone on this thread is going to pay you $70 for a burberry jumper

Finally, IMO your fit pic would be better with a single breasted blazer, DB makes you look like you are trying too hard!

Brian, do you use the ebay traffic report tool?

I love seeing where people are coming to my store from. I usually get about 10% of my hits from SF.

Quick shout out to Brianpore, Cotton Dockers, and JP for being fabulous...in the most awesomest seller type of way.

I also glean a ton of useful information from all of your experiences on eBay and all that is related to selling on it. I've learned a ton and appreciate you guys taking the time to share your knowledge (except for Ian who's clearly just looking to make a quick buck). I sincerely have yet to find a sub-community as generous as those who frequent this thread. Even Spoo with his hit-and-fade giveaway tactics are a good indicator of what you guys have going on here. Thanks again to all of you regulars who continue to instill hope that the human race hasn't completely gone down the "sense of entitlement" *******.

I don't even know what that large piece of machinery does, nevermind someone who needs one!

Last two weeks, none available. Also, I see that Jkidd has put up those 4XL zegna shirts. I think they gonna go quick.
I always grab them, they run a lot slimmer and if your a bigger guy going for that more tailored look, they are perfect.

D'oh. Guess this is what I get for quietly

myself everytime you guys have issues with the 'bay buyers. This is my first return - oh well.



If you held them in your own hands you could not possibly describe them as you did.
I as all ebayer's want the item as described. Please refund my money asap which I expect to include shipping.

Unique problem at the thrifts earlier today. Had to fight for elbow room with the polygamist family shopping at savers. Only in Utah or maybe Arizona and southern Colorado.

Should have just started a bidding war to see which one of them loved their husband enough/most to buy the Brioni coat you found... of course feel free to substitute the local flavour for brioni coat

Had an interesting day. Would have gotten some gorgeous Tiffany and Mont Blanc pens for $25 each if not for some greedy prick who grabbed every blasted one.

Passed on a ton of Canali dress shirts, recent Talbott BOC ties and recent Canali suits. Kinda regretting leaving a recent Exclusive Collection suit but they had the suits priced at $55.

I did grab some interesting items that were priced very nicely. Everything is available.
