Yeah, finding a guy who like the baseball and the padres logo and can wear a 4XL would be impossible to find.

Picked this up at Goodwill in Colorado, I am 99% sure this is game used/issued Broncos Practice Jersey. Tagging 00-50 inside and it appears to be for someone about 6 ft 5+ as it is a huge jersey. Figured for $12 I couldn't pass it up. Did some research and Lester Archambeau 6'5 and 275lbs wore #92 in 2000.

You guys that are moving a decent amount of clothing, what type of turnover are you seeing? Are you holding inventory for a fair amount of time?

im selling about 1-2 items a day recently. ive got a TON of inventory listed, and have just about caught up to what ive spent in building it, which is about $450 spent, $350 sold in just about a month. I just have to sell 1-3 more of my nicer finds and ill be even, which means ill have 60-80 items to sell that are just profit.

todays finds - everything was 30% off. picked up a few very nice, kinda rad pearl snap shirts that i think should do pretty well. i wont picture those, but they are western/cowboy style.



youth shaq brand football style jersey..kinda sweet. all letters are sewn


found several colts jerseys. all replica, but had to grab these two



ive discovered dri-fit style is basically gold. this is in very nice condition and has USA embroidered at the bottom.


and harley stuff has never let me down. this is also in very nice condition.

Hey guys, picked this up today for 4 bucks. We don't have hockey down here so I was surprised to find it. Trying to learn a little more about it. It had an AHL patch on it. No team name and no number. Only team I can find is the nonexistent Baltimore Bandits. Anyone able to help with a little more I for would be great.

Agreed, Harley and western shirts are gold Jerry, GOLD!

Mississippi State Nike Jersey

Adidas soccer jersey new with tags

All for 7 dollars.

Wow, ok cool. Thanks man. I guess I need to go back and get the other one even though it has Scooby Doo's name on the back lol.

This thread made me keep an eye out it a few things while garage saling, so I ended up spending $50 but some of the stuff is for me to keep and about 2-4 items I am going to sell but I can't get pictures up yet, so here is a little teaser so you guys hopefully look forward to seeing what I picked up

hopefully the pictures work out well

[Packer4Rob]

ok, so that didnt work. I clicked on insert image, and put in the address of the picture on my computer. I had to shrink the pics down in paint as last time i did this it also didnt work. Where am i going wrong? When i click on insert image, it asks for a URL...where to do i get that?

[mnvikingstwins]

You have to upload them as attachments if you want them from your computer or upload to an image hosting site for a url. Url is the web address at the top of your browser, www... .com, whereas what you did doesn't link a website and other people can't access your computer files like that. Use photobucket or imgur.

[Packer4Rob]

ok, finally got it figured out!

[Packer4Rob]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction MNvikingstwins!

This thrift store shopping is getting addicting....ended up with all 6 items above for $27.

Addicting indeed. Finding is the fun part, selling the stuff you buy is the hard part! At least for me thus far. I'm 1/13 in selling purchased items.

Just have to wait I suppose.

[Packer4Rob]

from reading the comments here, it takes patience, which i rarely have. As you said tho, when something sells, its awesome. I sold a Jerry Rice jersey yesterday that i've had for 2 months or so, but sold for $44.99, paid $5.99. Not all go that well i'm sure....i've only sold 4 or 5 items so far...have 7 listed or will be listed. I've used ebay so far, their fees suck up some of the margin, may have to look to other options.

I sell 100% on eBay. As we all know, they really have no competition when it comes to views. Ive sold 1 thing on craigslist, and that was a broken 42'' Plasma TV last fall, haha. Ebay fees suck, but Im a top rated seller, so I do get discount. Kinda helps

[elijahdf11]

I just picked up my first item today. This thread inspired me to go out and try it. I went to a local goodwill and found one shirt. It is a Super 46 NY Giants shirt. It was only 5 bucks so if it is nothing then oh well but it seemed pretty cool for the price. It looks brand new and still has the NFL sticker on it.

Any suggestions on how to go about selling and what I could possibly get out of it? Also, how do you all usually ship shirts?

[CC_123]

So I've been keeping and eye on this thread and when I was out garage saling, I had a general idea of some things to keep an eye out for, mainly sports stuff, so here is what I came home with. Some of it I am keeping, but some of it I am selling, so if you like something, PM me and we can hopefully work something out!

(Sorry my camera sucks by the way!)

(3) 1995 McDonalds Batman Forever Glasses-$7


1987 & 1991 World Series Newspapers-$10 (Loved them, didn't care about the price)


1998 Ken Griffey Jr. Starting Lineup Pro Action-$3


1994 Seattle Mariners Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball-$2


New York Yankees Stadium Limited Edition Unforgettaball-$2


Wisconsin Badgers 2000 Rose Bowl ZKAPZ Snapback-$1


St. Louis Cardinals Vintage Twins Enterprise Snapback w/ Tags-$2


Tampa Bay Devil Rays Retro Medium/Large Majestic Jersey-$5


How do you guys think I did? After doing some research, I think that the $32 I spent on these items was well worth it for what I got here.

I still have those Micky D's Batman cups. They are pretty cool looking. I believe they're glass too which is pretty surprising considering McDonalds toys today are pretty cheap and crappy.
