Anyone know how to find out if a bag is college issued? I found a Schutt bag with SEC patch and Lady Razorbacks patch on it. The tag on the inside says Schutt #01.01.5022.165 Personal Equipment Bag

This weeks pickups. Very excited about the Rodman pickup, its in almost brand new condition. Thought the Padres hat was a pretty cool/unique find. Kobe jersey (limited edition) and the A's Reyn Spooner were acquired from Buffalo Exchange using store credit.

anyone know what MiLB team this? I was thinking it was an affiliate of the Braves, but the only team that I could find with an "M" was Mississippi, and they had a different logo. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but it's got an MiLB logo so I don't think it can be Milwaukee

For those of you that are doing FBA, I have a quick question.

I purchased some stuff with a deep discount, retail boxed, ready to go. I went through the whole FBA process and now I am sending it to Amazon. On the prepared shipment page on Amazon, it's splitting up my products into 3 shipments, two going to IN and 1 to NV. So I have 8 total pieces, and instead of shipping them all to one place, I have to split the orders up, box them separately and pay 3 different shipping charges to get them to Amazon?

So here are my recent thrift shop finds that I am selling!

Milwaukee Brewers Majestic Japanese Nori Aoki Jersey Shirt Size Large RARE | eBay

Vintage CCM St Louis Blues Jersey Center Ice Size Large Very Hard Find | eBay

Chicago Cubs Blue Lucha Libre Wrestling Mask Lace Up RARE | eBay

Vintage Artex Phoenix Suns Fanatic Shirt Size Large Very RARE | eBay

Destiny PlayStation 4 Game Shirt Size Medium Difficult Find | eBay

Batman Arkham Knight E3 Exclusive Rocksteady Shirt Size Medium RARE | eBay

Vintage Pittsburgh Craws Nergo League Baseball J Head Shirt Size Large Very RARE | eBay

Vintage Nike Kentucky Basketball Jersey 15 Men's Medium NCAA RARE | eBay


And now for two items that I bought because I am fans of the teams, but I have NO INFORMATION at all on these items, so if someone could help me out a little on value, that'd be phenomenal







AND NOW, my very favorite item that I have found in my 3 months of thrifting. I have been hoping and dreaming of finding an item like this and I finally found it for $9.99! And it fits me perfect!

Found a GoDaddy Racing Jacket in XL... but it's $29.99 at Savers. Looks really nice, just don't know if it would be a good flip.

I'm from Syracuse which is a smaller city and don't find a lot of the better/higher priced items. Every once in a while I come across something decent but most of it goes in the $15-$25 range. I visit about 10-15 shops a week.

I live in San Francisco so naturally there's more 'competition' at the thrift stores I'd assume, but if I hit up a few stores I'm guaranteed to find at least one good piece.

yea, I'm about to head South to Las Cruces, NM for the weekend (softball tournament), and El Paso, Texas is nearby. I'm thinking about running a few stops down there to see what I can find. I'm sure there's more stuff there since I see they post a lot to their online shops.

Does anyone have a Instagram that they also sell off of? If so, how did you build your reputation on there and gain followers? Any specific hashtags that work well?
