Even with this list, I feel like wimmmenz items are very hit or miss. I have about 5 brands that I look for and thats about it.

Find a hot woman who loves fashion. ask her what she likes. listen. then leave with some leads, and her number.

Memorize this list.

Also, anything made by St. John....
stuff is ugly as sin, sells so fast and for so much.

My wife has noticed that serious high dollar brands sell for very little on ebay -- with some obvious exceptions. She bought several St. John items for $5 or less. A few of them had the price tags for $1200.

Sounds interesting. Except he specifically mentions Gap and Kenneth Cole among the Brands. It makes me wonder if there are 1 or 2 of these other brands and a WHOLE bunch of junk.

No shipping? That narrows down his buyers.

Same lesson learned here.

Went to an estate sale that was absolutely amazing. World traveller types with expensive furniture, (what I'm assuming was) expensive art, and extremely high-end electronics. They had mementos from parts of the world I can't even pronounce and they were selling off their home and everything in it because they wanted to live the rest of their lives travelling.

The closet's most high-end items were things like Perry Ellis and Nautica. So much sadness.

In the future I'd probably do a little research. If the guy had a job where clothing might matter (corporate ladder type job) then I'd check out the estate sale. Same for drop-offs. Whenever I see someone in a high-end vehicle drop off clothing at my GW, I take note of what he's wearing first before I decide it's worth camping

EXACTLY, that's why I like estate sales for Lawyers, Doctors, Big Company Executives, and Successful real estate developers. In Kansas we get the oil guys. There won't be that many suits, but there are lots of great boots! I love finding Ostrich Lucchesee boots in the closet!

My favorite estate sale lady told me at their last sale that I NEEDED to be at the next one. Huge house on the Country Club golf course and she said he LOVED his clothes. She knows what I like, so it could be a serious haul! It's starts tomorrow at 8 am!

So, I found a suit yesterday which is apparently having an identity crisis...

Jacket has Brooks Brothers and J.Press tags. The pants are tagged Southwick. Store tags on both are Brooks Brothers.
