No issues there, but some of the biggest problem buyers on Ebay do not leave bad feedback to hide their antics. They know that sellers look at things like feedback left.

I went ahead and shipped it, so gonna just cross my fingers.

Have sold a couple of Obama campaign shirts I picked up this morning.

TxRangersfan · 11-09-2016, 09:13 AM

Anyone know these MiLB logos? All came in the lot of hats I got from the early/mid 90's.

For a $50 item and if the feedback looked good, I would do the same.

They are all DeLong snapbacks

I do have a MacGregor Sports Specialties Seattle Mariners Wool fitted thats a 7 5/8 if you have any interest. From what I figured, its from 1986 the only year MacGregor owned the SS brand or vice versa.

HaystaK760 · 11-09-2016, 04:39 PM

I went to many hi desert maverick games when I was younger

TwinGnats · 11-09-2016, 04:48 PM

Shoot. I'm 7 1/2 in case you ever find mil vintage.

I would think it would be a hard sell - especially if they are already drilled (since the balls are normally drilled to fit the owner's hand). Around my area, duckpin bowling (smaller balls) is very popular and the balls are not drilled, so those might sell better.

One of my better sales last night -

Nirvana Shirt

Picked it up for $1.50 and sold for $40

aggies1960 · 11-10-2016, 11:53 AM

Sold this cool FBI shirt for $30. Went in a few hours, maybe I should have listed it for more lol.

It's always kind of a catch 22 isn't it - I listed a pair of Under Armour swim trunks during the election thinking they would likely still be there six months from now and they sold within an hour. My immediate thought is always "man, maybe I should have asked for more money" even though I am just happy to get rid of them.

Oh well - I would rather sell to someone at a little cheaper than maybe I could have got than ask too much and still have the stuff a year later (which happens more than I would care to admit as well).

Better be careful, on some groups I am in on Facebook people will burn you at the stake for selling for less than what everyone else has it priced. They call it "racing to the bottom" and I call it good flipping.

EDIT: I haven't seen anyone on this thread doing that, just something I've noticed in resell FB groups.

Thanks for the info.

I haven't seen this but I have heard of it with some of the card sellers - a friend of mine got a message from some random seller through ebay chewing him out for listing his cards too low. It was ridiculous - especially considering he was right in the midway point of recent sales.

He got all worried about it wondering what to do - I told him just to offer the card up to the guy at a discount. If the sour party was really that upset about it, he could buy it cheap and relist it.

We got that from a member on here that had a Kristaps Porzingis Noir /99. He messaged us throwing a fit as he had listed his over $600 and we listed ours at $499 they said we were killing the market when the first one was about to end at auction under $300

Was pretty rude but that is how some people are.

We just shrugged it off as we have gotten those before and laughed.

Just did my first sourcing in many months today (one whole estate sale a mile from my house, lolz), hit the cassette motherload, 50+ sweet alternative/indie/post-punk cassettes from the mid 80s to early 90s. Question is, the cases can be pretty beat up, scratched etc. Is that going to matter much if the insert and tape are fine? Anyone do much with cassettes?

doubt it would be worth it for cassettes but for cds and playstation/dreamcast games I bought a case of new jewel cases from my old work like 1000 for $20 and I switch all the old cases out for new

Lionsman81 · 11-11-2016, 05:57 PM

Alright, so, I've gotten extremely busy lately and really don't have time to thrift, list, sell, and post things to try and make some side money. I have about 10-15 T-Shirts, Pullovers, Jerseys, and other things sitting in my house that I would like to liquidate off to another flipper. I will sell them extremely cheap if somebody were to take the whole lot. I apologize if this is banned/frowned upon here, but I need to dump some stock. Please PM me if you would be interested in taking this stuff on. Most of it I would put in the $7-$10 range as far as value, but there are certainly some things that could easily net you $20 or $30 if you find the right person.

If interested, please PM me.

Thanks!
-Mark

TwinGnats · 11-11-2016, 07:29 PM

I sell on consignment but I'm really looking for ongoing shipments, not really doing the one time and out...if it's a big enough lot I may consider.

I think it's a 70s Jacket. Kind of a cool school. a good number of professional athletes came out of there including Mark McGwire.
