Would I be looking for this?

I like to post finds on Sundays, because it seems to be the best day to squeeze a bit of extra time in, but I've been working on my dog's fur the past couple of Sundays. I've waited too long to do it and he's been unhappy in the heat, so I'm a bit late on posting.

Nothing available at the moment.

Not the best shape, but solid pick-up. Weird, I looked for years and found nothing and now the second time in the last month or two:

It seems like some outerwear pieces were made in Finnland as I've seen it more than once:

Shot in the dark, but anyone recognize this? Made in Germany and the care tag seems familiar:

Vass x1, Ludwig Reiter x3:

Tod's x2, Ferragamo x2, Love Moschino, Miu Miu, Prada:

I liked it well enough for €2:

Have you already sold or promised to sell all the goods or will you keep it all for yourself? The reason I wonder is because you always post cool finds but it always seems that they are unavailable at the time.

Actually, most of what I post is available (or will be). I run into a time deficit problem every day/week, so I take some quick photos to post and then put it into inventory and the stuff goes on the waiting list to be shot/measured. Once it pops up on my shoot-list, it will make it to eBay/my website. I don't like to be spammy with things, so I don't mention that it will be posted online soon on every post. SF members get 20% off any purchase. Shipping prices are as cheap as I can make them.

I'm less interested in trades these days because I'm simply stretched for time on everything, and that seems to be what most people want. I still try to reply to most PMs that I receive and provide measurements and additional photos whenever I can. Maybe it's just me, but once I send measurements and photos, there's a 90% chance I'll get ghosted when price/shipping discussions become involved. Having said that, I still feel terrible that I ghosted someone in the spring about some sunglasses. It's still on my to-do list every single day to apologize for that!

Anyway, that's the long explanation of what I do. Tl;dr version: I run out of time to reply to messages and don't want to be rude so say it's unavailable for now. Most stuff will hit the website with measurements, photos (warts and all), and prices.

Picked up these gorgeous Allen Edmonds Bench Welt Graysons 13E. It looks like shell, shines like shell, but is not marked with the usual "Genuine Shell Cordovan." Is it shell?

 

[florent]

It is shell, the white spots on the left vamp are typical

Bread I baked yesterday afternoon. Organic bread is a whole lot more thrifty if you do it yourself...

 

[flipstah]

Thrift bread is best bread

There should be a code in the shoe reading '8287'. But like you said you can tell by looking at them that they are shell.

Then I put some toppings on it:

Paid up a little for these, but I think I can make a quick buck or two on em.

Also picked up this cashmere-blend (lol) Ede Ravenscroft morning coat. Don’t know much but comps looked pretty nice so I splurged $10 on it.
