[QUOTE=r0yals2012;7352085]I found a Nintendo Virtual Boy system today with the controller, Mario tennis, wario land with box and instructions, golf with box and instructions, and a pinball game with instructions today[/QUOTE]

Nice find! I would not suggest playing the game unless you enjoy splitting headaches mixed in with extreme nausea!

Some of my best flips lately:

Shawn Kemp Champion bought .50 sold $25
The Masters vintage snapback bought .25 sold $25
7 For All Mankind women's jeans bought $2 sold $27

Making a decent amount by buying shirts for .25-$2 and selling for $8-$10. Not a huge profit but when you sell 10 a week it adds up!

[QUOTE=pearljam_cubbies;7353501]Just a heads up, got a negative feedback from "sirbabyrocks" on a Ralph Lauren shirt.

Here is the feedback

"Fake polo shirt, he stitched the logo(poorly) onto a shirt w/ bad quality. Sick."


Of course he has a total of 9 feedback and eBay wont do a thing about it even though, 1. It isn't fake. 2. I do not know how to stitch and if I did I would stitch a quilt or something and not a shirt to sell for $2.[/QUOTE]

i dread people like this. im not taking chances, already blocked him. negative on a $2 shirt though, i mean come on man. just a newbie, prob some kid

Some of this mornings finds.

Go back tomorrow and do it. Seriously, you'll regret it forever if you don't at least try.

This this this!! Seriously, ask her out man. The worst she can say is no! Do it and let us know how it goes. We are cheerin you on dude!

So does anyone feel like giving a quick crash course "Jersey's for dummies" :D rundown ? How do you determine the differences in jersey's (authentic - not authentic)? I have those two jerseys from the last page (Manning & Brees) but am not sure how to list them or what key words need to be in there. Thanks in advance for any help! :)

For the Nike its pretty easy, just look at the lettering and numbers. If they are screen printed, then they are just the replica "game" type. Retail for like $100 new, so if they are in good shape Id say $50-$70 perhaps. Maybe wait until closer to NFL season to cash in. If the lettering feels stitched on, then they are the Nike "limited style" which are like $150 new, even though they were more like $120 before the price hike

Ok this helps a lot. The Brees I believe is screenprinted and the Manning is stitched. So when I list these I want to make sure to put "game (style)" in the title of the Brees one and "limited style" in the title for the Manning correct ?

Very nice!!! So when you list something like this I assume you do a BIN/BO and do you list them for 7, 10, 30 days ? I have been listing my clothes auctions for "Good till canceled". Do you get more hits if you do say a traditional 7 days listing ?

You guys find some wicked stuff. I have been doing some more hunting lately now that school is out and have stumbled upon a few things.

I'd post my finds but my photobucket isn't cooperating for me.

I do however post my stuff on instagram.

Quick question!

When you sell via Instagram, do you get paid via Paypal?

If so, aren't you worried at all about chargebacks/scams/etc.?!

I wouldn't think those Instagram-ers have such a good reputation when it comes to legitimacy

So what do you guys say to the answer "What are you going to do with all that stuff?"

I flip toys from time to time & toy products. Often have carts & armfuls of plush at at time as long as there is no limit.

My main response is, I sell it online. Most cashiers don't understand what that means anyway.

If they do, they've already bought all the good stuff.

Never had anyone ask me, I know I get looks though when I start at one end of an aisle and go through every shirt in that aisle one by one :D. Before when it was my wife that wanted to go to the thrift store I was always the one bugging her saying "are you ready yet? - are you ready yet?" - now today we went and she came and found me and was like "are you ready?" and I said "I just got through my first aisle!". :D :D :D

Not much today just two t-shirts, figured for $3.85 total what the heck Id give them a shot:
