Cheers bud. Yep, likely the California T.

This is the example of the american dream come true.

One person who starts from scratch with a good idea, being on the right place and gets success. Also is ecological since he is “recycling” stuff.

Sadly way difficult for us, europeans, to make the same but specially in the South of Europe but, at least me, work hard with deep humble on it, not for the material thing of having a special car, but for the spiritual thing of finding God throught work.

Last night :

I was pissed about the Paul Stuart jacket ending super low but the buyer flaked out minutes after winning it, so it will go up again next week and Im not including it in these totals.

Sales - $771
Observations - Fell about $300 behind the weekly goal, which kind of sucks. Banked a lot of this week on the Loubs which kind of floundered. The GC's were a healthy profit and Ive still got a couple pairs of those on deck for reserves. Burberry never fails to disappoint. Considering taking a jump with a higher priced / higher return item in the coming weeks to see how that goes.

Investment - $2
Profit - $7,274.56
To goal - $77,725.44
