NWT in a store full of teenage flippers

So I think my speaker fever is cured. I literally left these on the shelf about 5 minutes ago. Once upon a time (read: 4 months ago) I would have jumped all over them


Bose 501 Series II ($115)

Radio Shack Optimus 1 ($45)

Not sure what it's worth, but I'd leave it since it's the polar opposite of the ones I like to wear.

I'm not into dive watches and I'm unsure of it's flip potential so I left it

Need help with this t-shirt, guys: Christian Dior x Daniel Arsham.

I'm leaning into about 60/40 not authentic, but hard for me to say.

The interior stitching is good on the inside shoulder/arm and throughout the rest:

The bigger tag has been washed, so the text is hard to make out, but in the right reflection it reads:

59059
023J615B0554
S
100% Coton - Cotton - Algodao
(yada, yada... )
Made in ITALY
ITALIA

The full tag is exactly like the one in this thread (minus the size difference) which was bought from the actual Dior store: https://www.reddit.com/r/DesignerRe...l_dior_daniel_arsham_eroded_logo_tshirt_pics/

Probable drawbacks: collar attachment seems different, and also the stitching holding the wash tag in place - but I have no idea if these vary or not.

Thanks. Yeah, there's this bottom stitching on the tag that doesn't look right. Plus, the other tag seems to be always attached with the black stitching on the seam, rather than a separate stitch. Print isn't as good as that white one either.

Oh well. At least I kept the tags on it.

See, this probably motivates people to thrift even more. For me, I just accept that it's a total crapshoot and look for what I like/want to keep. If it turns out to be valuable, fine.

Frenchy I thought that was you.

Agreed. I'd pay that for a pair of 901s with the tulip stands, not for 501s though.
