Actually, no. You are supposed to send that info to all eBay sellers by PM. Don't go sharing it with the common people.

If you've found a thrift where everything's from 1969 or earlier, let me know. I'd love to go there.

He cannot do that... OP will kill him, along with all the corrupt employees. Sacrifices must be made to restore order.

I need to find some good spots and this OP is ruining it for me!


I've been to a few lately and haven't found anything - It's all about the timing. Once I find some hidden stash, I'm sure I'll be hooked

While d'bay flippers have a right to be at the store, nobody says you cant shame them if they step out of line.

A couple of weeks ago some asshole saw me and got worried I might find something and walked right past me and started looking like 2 feet ahead of me in the same direction I was going.

So I said to him "hey, didnt you notice I was here or is the real problem that you noticed I was here?"

He looked at me all suprised. I said "thrifting ettiquite says you should follow me since I was here first"

The guy was obviously there for profit and needed tellin. I recommend this approach to keep the agressive types in line.
