KoYs Vintage and Thrift Proxy Service

[kindofyoung]

I'll just copy and paste the two previous posts from the Recent Purchases-thread and that will have to summarize as the thread description, so without further ado:

Thrift shops here in Sweden are generally pretty **** and mostly consist of old **** from H&M/similar, but the one thing there's an abundance of is vintage outerwear.

One store in Uppsala has for this season jacked up their price like 200-300% for their shearling/fur-coats compared to last year, which is kind of dissapointing since they usually had a good selection. Luckily the rest of them haven't attempted any nonsense like that.

Would there be any interest for a thread for thrift finds I could potentially proxy for forum members?
The coats are usually around 50-100$ depending on the store, I might take something like 20$ as a fee and then shipping would probably be another 40-50$ to most parts of the world, bringing it to a total of ~150$.

I'm skeptical to whether there is enough available to warrant something like that, but I also don't really have the money to put out for a "risk" like that atm.
But I'll take a trip round the shops tomorrow and see if I can find anything that might be worthwhile and put up a thread for it if so

For reference I'm 184cm (about 6'0) with relatively broad shoulders and pretty long arms, usually a 46 in outerwear and 48 in tops


One button missing (hidden behind my phone) but otherwise in nice condition, the overlapping front-part falls kind of weird when open but might be fixable leaving it under pressure over night? I don't really know how shearling behaves regarding stuff like that, but either way it looks good closed. I'd estimate it to be a size large/eu50.
60$ including both mine and paypals fees + whatever shipping turns out to be (should be around 40$, it's not super heavy)



This one is actually really nice, was tempted to get it myself. Slightly assymetric buttoning, soft collar and overall good condition. I think it was a bit darker in person.
Nice slim fit too, should fit a sz small/eu46 very well , but could also work for somone slightly smaller or slightly larger depending on how you want it to fit.
70$ including both mine and paypals fees + whatever shipping turns out to be (similar weight to the one above so should be around 40$ as well)



Something a bit different but nice nonetheless, a black leather bomber from Hugo Boss in just about the simplest style possible. Some small marks on the leather around stress-points, but no cracks or anything like that. Should look very nice after some conditioning and on someone larger than me. It's a tagged size L for large, which I would deem accurate.
120$ including both mine and paypals fees + whatever shipping turns out to be (should be around 40$)

Michael Kors coat, way too large on me but good condition and nice fabric. For sizing and details I'll just refer to the spoilered "Details"-pic above.
90$ including both mine and paypals fees + whatever shipping turns out to be (should be around 40$, possibly less)



Last one for this time, a lamb shearling coat similar to the first one I got. Collar is some other kind of fur though I don't know what kind, but it looks cool. I think it would be best for a size large or extra-large. Don't actually know the price for this one since there wasn't a tag on, but based on the other coats and what they've had in the past, I'm guessing it would be:
70$ including both mine and paypals fees + whatever shipping turns out to be (should be around 40$)



If you're interested in any of the coats, feel free to send me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
I have not yet purchased any of the coats above, so how this will work is:
1. You want one of them and send me a PM
2. You send me the money for the coat and my fees
3. I go check how much shipping will be to wherever it is you live
4. I send the package as soon as I've received the second payment for above mentioned shipping.

Thanks in advance

Another two, both of them in pretty nice condition and size medium
Not real shearling, they are made out of suede and then the fur lining + collar is a separate piece attached to the outer "shell".
Dark brown/black one is missing one button



Both of them are 70$ each including paypals and my fees + whatever shipping is.
