So I have messaged him through eBay about starting the return process through eBay...

Hopefully he sees the message, as its someone with 0 feedback, I'm worried he doesn't spend much time on eBay....

So I should just wait to hear back from him? Or just cancel the order and refund?

Got a message from a buyer saying he wants to return something that he thinks is fake but I know is 100% real. Hate that I can't even fight this...

Just wait to hear back from him. I waiting weeks one time and I called ebay to just get the return closed since the buyer never even returned the item. Take it slow.

Finally had a decent haul the other day. My first one in about 2 months. There just hasn't been much for good stuff up here lately, so I was happy to find a solid 6-8 items (thats a good haul at this point!). There was an Elway Champion Jersey, STL Cardinals Starter Satin Jersey, Randy Moss Graphic T (so easy to move up here), Destiny Collection for PS4 (easy mover), Chris Webber Adidas Michigan jersey, among a few others. Should be some easy movers in that bunch. Heres to hoping this is the start of nice hauls again!

I'd wait instead of rushing and canceling and refunding. I think that counts as a strike against you if you don't go about it the right way. I had a guy send me back a $100 item he purchased. 8 months later I still have his money and the item and he has never responded to multiple emails.

If you cancel it and say buyer wants to cancel it does not count against you. No reason to keep the item and the money if the guy sent the item back in the same condition. Ive had several items that have been returned for insufficient address or other reasons, and I reach out to the buyer to correct. If I get no response after a week I refund them.

Sold a Jimmy Buffett Concert shirt yesterday about an hour after listing it. Buyer offered $1 off listed price and I had it on auto-accept.

LOL! I guess some people just want to feel like they got a deal!

That's the way I am. I never pay full asking price on eBay if there is a best offer option.

How well does shirts and jackets sell of smaller colleges? I passed on an older Tshirt from Morris Brown College. Did more research on the school once I got back home and it has a interesting history of being a "colored" college in Georgia. Any help would be appreciated, maybe I'll go back tomorrow and pick it up if it's still there.

For the next two months I'll have my best sales for colleges. Especially the small ones. All the kids are getting their acceptance letters and the parents after getting sticker shock at the university bookstore they go on ebay and buy my tees and crews.

So I was watching a rerun of Shark Tank where this prick of a guy was pitching his Scottevest Tec clothing where you can pretty much store any and all your devices in your clothing. He did it just so he could patent the technology and then sue everyone else who tried to duplicate it.

Sure enough, I found one of his clothing items today. Had to pick it up as they sell pretty well.

Got this today for $1.49. Not sure if it's actually old or some kind of reproduction. It's heavy, strong metal - magnets stick to it. It's somewhere around 14 inches by 18 inches with no markings on the back. The words and designs on the front are slightly raised. It's beat up but I thought it was neat.

Here has been my experience:

Don't bother with the one on Shelbyville Road by the mall. It's in a very heavy traffic area in front of the Mall St. Mathews so no one drops their stuff of there it seems, too much trouble. Never really found anything at all at that location. There is another GW on Shelbyville Road but it is farther east and I've found a couple things there.

The GW on South Hurstbourne Parkway has always been pretty good to me. It's a large location also so plenty to look at.

St. Vincent DePaul on Shelbyville has some nicer stuff usually as well.

Brownsboro Road GW is extremely small. Only stopped once but I left quickly as I can't stand to be crowded.

Edited to add that there is also a large and fairly new GW over in Middletown. Usually find some cool stuff in there. 100 Huntington Ridge Dr, Louisville, KY 40223. If you only have a little bit of time I would suggest this GW as well as the one on South Hurstbourne.


I don't know what part of Louisville you will be in, but if you are closer to the east side and you have a little time to kill you might want to check out The Agape Shop in La Grange, Ky. It is a church based thrift store and they have a deal where you can fill up a brown paper bag for $8. They always roll your shirts up so they can really cram a lot in there! Last time I went I got about 12 pieces of clothing including a full 1990s Nike tracksuit in one bag.

So May 1st starts the new fee and top rated discount structure.

Right now, if you have a store, your final shipping value fee goes from the standard 10% down to 9%. Will the new fee structure change the shipping value fee for stores to 9.15% too ?

Man, thank you so much! Hit the st Vincent DePaul and the two goodwills in that same area, even brought a coworker along for the fun. Sadly didn't hit any home runs but picked up 6 or 7 things that should do fine

Hey dude! How's the little girl?? I remember your old HK sig pic back in the day long before I had kids and now I've got two daughters, the big one's almost four, time certainly flies. There's an event at the expo center here that I work every year so I've been here about a week. Thrifting was probably kind of dumb as I'm going straight to my next gig in Mexico from here and I'm not sure if everything's gonna fit in my bag but I'll figure it out
