So, I purchased something unexpected for my mom. We went to Costco to buy some grocery. Saw some promotions for sun glasses. Saw Dior, Zegna, SF, Tumi, Ray Ban, and etc. I said *******! Gonna cop a pair for mom! I think this is her first pair of designer sun glasses.







In China, these goes for $2,000 for retail and $1,000 for when on sale...Coped for $97.

WIN!

I once had a hella dated Armani silk tweed blazer go for like 140$ bid. Was so surprised at that outcome. Of course it will never happen again lol.
Once had a Collezioni suit with a hole in the pants sell for $305... People are weird!

I was almost not going to list it, and figured it was worth maybe $40. Armani Black Label and recent Collezioni suits are profitable. Their jackets may not be as valuable though. I generally pass on them, unless they are like mint recent suits.

Lastly, i would like to apologize to a new member,@Principle . Whom i was reluctant to proxy for. while i prefer to deal with members who have an established trade record. i was more blunt than what was required.
my humblest apologies.
Vader.

Ummmm... This doesn't mean that you guys are going to rub your noses together does it? At any rate, congrats to both of you. Don't be overachievers in med school. Your GPA will not be on your diploma. When it comes to grades, remember this equation: C=MD.


Bad advice DOC. It matters where you match after. ALSO HOW MUCH YOU KNOW IS HOW WELL YOUR PATIENTS WILL GET!!

Alas, you are probably right. That advice was given to me over 20 years ago. I am sure things are a bit different now. Carry on.... lol
