dude is selling like three of these in different patterns but all size 15.5 33 bidding has only started on one
hopefully bidding doesn't go very high and you get loro piana dress shirts for 18

Spoiler: full disclosure

I wish my arms were much shorter so I could buy these!

THese are perfectly my size with my current, er weight situation.

Cant just let them fall to someone we don't know.

Public disclosure: I bid 22.22 on three of them. If someone in this size wants them more, outbid me. Chances are i'll get crushed anyway by the general eBay populace but now you know.

For those who missed out on the pebble grain boots last week, there are more on Ebay at $280 a pop from this buyer.

Size 10 and 10.5 scotch grain, Black Fleece boots.

Is this Eddie's ebay handle?

This might be a stupid question, but have you thought about hiring someone to take photographs for you? Advertise at the local college, pay between $10 to $15 an hour, have them come in one or two days a week to photograph for you? (find someone who will work for clothes?)
Yes, it will make your taxes a little more complicated - but, if you have a great haul while someone else photographs, you will make more than if you yourself do the photographing...

I am a poor grad student. Really, really poor right now because the VA is behind in processing GI Bill claims. Regardless, I'm in the process of hiring help and hope to have someone placed in the next week. The problem is during the good seasons I maintain too much inventory and the demands of school are so much greater. I simply can't process it fast enough alone and still get everything done that I need and while I trust the VA to pay for my schooling, timing is everything. Health insurance and rent need to get paid. Ergo, I flip.

The hoarder reference comes up every now and again, and I know I have a problem when I've got cleaned and pressed Kiton shirt only piles waiting to be photographed which I trip over on the way to the bathroom. Ever have a Brioni sport-jackets avalanche? Its happened to me. But the way I see it, even if I pay someone $15 to help for a few hours, I'm "right-sizing" by recouping my capital faster, decreasing my clutter, reducing the chance of getting moths, getting greater turnover, increasing my short-term profit and surviving another month before I need to ask my parents for help (which is really sad, I know).

Last week I walked past 6 pairs of $4.99 NWT Brooks Brothers Chinos because I knew I won't be able to sell them fast enough. Sure, you may get only $30 on eBay, and some of you won't take those odds, but that is a better profit margin than most businesses even if you have help. I'd gladly pay someone $15 an hour to help me post those.

the hot streak continues

f'ing BEAUTIFUL crockett & jones whitehall... $3. yes, THREE DOLLARS LOL

[Brianpore]

did not do any thrifting today... til about 8pm, when headed home, got the urge so stopped at one store...
4x belvest suits. 1 super 120s, 1 wool cashmere, 1 super 150s, 1 16.5 micron
all 38s, dual vent, super condition

polo by corneliani flannel pants

excellent condition vasque hiking boots

near mint zegna cotton linen shirt

2x recent mint dolce gabbana shirts

burberry shirt that might be fake... made in spain? is tagged medium/3, quality is very good though. confusing

vintage self tipped brooks brothers rep, vintage talbott grenadine
total = $94.90

Nice! Had to leave behind a medium blue glenplaid Belvest today in a 38R 3 button. They wanted more $ then normal and being a orphan button

Felt soo nice though!

Wrong Dior? It's a 46R trench. Couldn't find a maker's tag

WRONG WRONG WRONG

And the pink

Depends on price obviously, but that PINK is kick ass!

Wait so there's Donna Karan that is worth picking up? I pass on that stuff relatively frequently, figured it was on par with Oscar De La Renta or something...

Yes, I have had decent luck with Karan. Look for the black labels and it all depends on who the maker of the suit is. Picked up St. Andrews before also .

Ended up leaving the 3 Button Unvented Orphan for $25

BUT on a better note, I found a few FIRST TIME ITEMS (no Kiton) but it's always exciting after doing it this long to find new stuff I've never found before.

 

[IRKSM]

Not a thrift brag, but for the price I paid I think it's worthy. Seller sold these chili AE Delrays for $12.50 I guess because of how they looked.




But with a little polish...

I am liking split toes more and more

ftfy XD

also my samuelson suit came today it fits almost perfect (gorge is like an inch lower than I prefer but still very workable, I love the soft shoulders and quarter lining though) except the pants need to be hemmed (which I have never experianced before with my long ass legs) and I want to nip the waist some more even though that is not in traditional sack suit style. fit pics to come! also I can't decide if I want to keep the cuffs or not? will they make me look shorter? that is something I could use considering I am 6 5' now XD
also what is the deal with samuelson aren't they a canadian maker? if so why are they so trad?

Those things turned out very nicely! Nice work with the cleaning

 

[dustinmyself]

ok, more pictures and measurements.

Shoulders 18 1/2
Pit to pit 23
Length 32 1/2
Sleeves almost 26 1/2

Pockets are still basted shut, extra buttons included,

However, the tailor that shorted the sleeves (fuctional cuffs) did so in a manor that they don't actually "fuction" anymore
