Big E fresh off the rack

Probably nothing special, but a quick thrill anyway

noting special? looks great from here if a little used... great marked size, should measure to 34x34 or so? very nice.

Could someone tell me what I've got here? eBay seems pretty favorable toward this brand but i am just not educated enough on this brand:

Paging @SpooPoker and other Polo boys - is this the ostentatious and garish Polo I'm looking for? They want £10 for it and I have no idea about this stuff. Thanks.

Not Spoo, and I don't know the market in the UK, but narco polos are still hot, 10 pounds is about $15USD? It's steep, but if that thing also has a number on the sleeve and embroidery on the back, 2xl will be very desirable.

YES! And the free skate posters they came with. Awesome

First time I've found decent belts.

Robert Talbott NWOT, made in Italy:

And my favorite find today:
The dirty gray buckle polished up nicely to reveal a .925 sterling silver stamp.

Is there a medieval music expert in the house? This thing is giving me flashbacks to freshman music history. But for $3.25, it has earned a prominent place in our music room (or my study).

Thanks for the tip. It definitely had a number on the sleeve in yellow and something on the back I'm pretty sure. I left it there for now but I doubt it will sell quick. What does narco mean? I'm sure it's some rap thing right...maybe? Haha.

If real, then awesome. But i will wait for confirmation.

(at least we saw this one

)

i thrifted a fake rolex yesterday. Not sure what to do with it. I know its fake, the band is too light. Feels heavy except for the band, second hand sweeps. But, the date bubble thing is too small. The real ones are much larger.

I'll trade you for 2 pairs of fake Nike Foamposites.

£10 is possibly a bit steep if you are going to flip it. Those polos are the one piece of logo'd/garish clothing that I buy (to be worn with shorts on the 2 days of summer we get) and the last one I bought was £15 on eBay. In a medium, granted, but it wouldn't be a guaranteed moneymaker - the size may help it, if it is in decent condition you'd probably double your money on a BIN, but you might have to sit on it for a while. Pretty much any decent Polo sells well though.

Today is my birthday, I don't say that to garner "congrats", but to say that I am really thankful for this community. I have spent my morning listening to vinyl, drinking coffee, and taking photos of the stuff I've thrifted over the past few weeks. I truly enjoy this hobby and it doesn't hurt that it is funding a good chunk of those extra costs coming up for our wedding in May. Anyway - Cheers to all of you!
