Huge market for vintage computer software, I've been sorting thru 6 pallets worth for a month now and it sells as fast as i list it

Right. And to be clear, I could have avoided it. From now on I’ll just have the mail person knock on the door to pick up the packages and just plan to ship things out on days I know I’ll be home. I usually leave them on the porch because it’s easier for everyone, but now that I have to worry about people taking packages off the porch I’ll have to change that.

Lately I’ve been having the problem of the postal workers just not taking my stuff. They literally have to step over/around it to get to my mailbox or take it off of my mailbox, drop off my mail and then they’ll set it back on top lol. Luckily no theft though

Been really liking the Chopard time traveler. Seems like a robust in-house movement, with my fav complication, for a decent price.

Who's gonna be the first to **** on it?

cool, pretty sure I saw the Pogues at Brixton on that tour. It became a Christmas tradition, I love Shane MacGowan’s songs

The Pogues were fantastic live

The Pogues were fantastic live

I saw them in fall of 1992 in England. It was during a period when Shane had been kicked out of the band but was still a hell of a show. It concluded with the crowd invading the stage for a chaotic version of Fiesta.

Anyone else still in Atlanta? If you can weather the construction to make it to the church thrift on Piedmont near Cheshire Bridge today, there are a couple of high-end suits for $25 each.

I owe you a tasty beverage @ATLjon , I have been there before, place has the most enigmatic pricing, $15 for a VinnyVines tie & $25 for a Kitty suit in my size. Tough choice but I took the suit.

Yeah that place sucks like 78 percent of the time.

Hello, I wanted to both introduce myself properly and also ask some advice.
im based in the UK and having followed this thread for a while and learnt loads, I’m now noticing some improvements in my yields. So Thankyou everyone. Still hunting for the ricci crocodile coat that will fund a house deposit…

I found a RL Suede safari jacket today at about 5% retail. Not much wear but some stains as pictured. They feel quite crispy rather than oily.
does anyone have any advice on best ways of gently removing them?

[not-hill-cloth]

crispy stains?
