I guess I'll keep you guys posted. Cost me $6.99.

Probably a snowboarding hoodie if I had to guess. I bet if the flap is completely zipped you cant get your head through. I would guess when on it zips up to make it a hoodie/turtleneck hybrid? Holes are prob just ventilation/to hear.

One of the things that got me into thrifting was finding a Bo Ryan signed basketball at a rummage sale. I live in New Jersey.

You know he's from West Chester, PA right? Not very strange to find his stuff in New Jersey.

well, I definitely learned something today!

it's funny, I'm usually really good about researching the items I thrift, but in this case I didn't need to do much research at all -- this was pretty clearly a Wisconsin Badgers basketball signed by Bo Ryan, the auto checked out, and so I listed it and sold it within a few days to a (presumably) happy buyer in Wisconsin.

Does anyone know anything about this shirt? I tried looking it up but I did not find anything. It does not have the traditional Tommy Hilfiger tag so if figured it was either vintage or a knock off.

That just screams "flea market bootleg". Could be wrong but man it looks tacky!

Likely a bootleg, luckily for you, Bootleg Tommy stuff moves very well!

I picked up a large long sleeve Antigua University of Alabama checkered button up today. Took a shot at it with the playoffs coming up.

Crazy last 2 weeks, local Sporting Goods store and 2 nearby Golfsmiths were closing. Barely bought any clubs but the Golfsmith was selling their computers dirt cheap and got 3 that I can resell for a pretty big profit. My local sporting goods store was 80% off on Monday and I got a lot of stuff and today they were 90% off. I ended up with over 12 Pairs of Xenith Shouderpads $20 each that were normally $200 , 8 helmets, and a bunch of other football and some hunting stuff.

I also hope I didn't undersell this
Paid $25, sold for $165 in about 2 hours.

My Christmas sales were great. Nearly everything that had Tags sold for me. How was everyone else's?

jb415 · 12-28-2016, 11:24 PM

Christmas was double what it was last year, which was a huge bonus. Had one pain in the butt eBayer but that is to be expected.

jpruitt2 · 12-28-2016, 11:39 PM

Picked up a few items the other day for the first time and just had my first sale.

gglenn3278 · 12-29-2016, 08:51 AM

Had a great pick up yesterday at the local charity thrift store. A brand new in the box embroidery machine identical to the one in the picture for $125. Some have sold for that much and a bunch of them sold cheaper. Could have made a really nice profit on it, but my mother and my wife both wanted it. I guess they will have to share LOL

WalrusCircus · 12-29-2016, 03:32 PM

Quick question, was going back and forth with a buyer on ebay for an item and finally agreed on a price. I accepted it and he sent a request for an invoice which I was about to send but then realized he was located in Canada. I ship internationally on ebay with their global shipping program and in the past when I've sent invoices to international buyers I'm all of a sudden unable to ship via the program and have to spend a fortune. Not sure if that's the way it works or if I'm just messing up somewhere but I thought I'd ask yall before sending the invoice so I dont get stuck. Thanks! hope some of that made sense

If the only way that you ship internationally is through the GSP (according to your listing), then it won't let you send an invoice, period. That's because ebay needs to calculate the freight, duty, and tax when he inputs his address to purchase the item. If it lets you send an invoice internationally, then that means you aren't locking down your listing to only use the GSP, which explains why it's having you ship outside of that.

Same here, and Ive had my store on vacation mode with slow shipping since a little before Xmas. Had a couple of annoying returns for people who don't know how to read, but to be expected.

iambp · 12-29-2016, 11:14 PM

Hey Guys I posted these a while back but I'm still looking for some help identifying the team on this hockey jersey. It is a CCM, so I do not think it's a local High School team? It also did not look like any Harvard jersey I could find.

Also, does anybody know anything about this Cliff Keen Gophers football jacket? I tried a bunch of searches, but could only find Cliff Keen wrestling gear.

sportsed · 12-30-2016, 01:59 AM

Hi, first post. I buy and sell old jerseys and clothes. This was my best recent find. A DeVry varsity jacket I bought for $8 and sold for $200. Hopefully to someone who laughed about it as much as I did

my sister came over and we spent 3 hours cleaning up my garage clutter but I finally have a workable area again lol

TOMBB25 · 12-30-2016, 01:31 PM

I don't feel like I got a huge bump in December like so many other people. I've really diversified and almost half my inventory is non-clothing now, maybe clothing sales better in December? I definitely saw an increase in clothing sales, but maybe a small decrease in non-clothing items. $2,225 in sales through this morning for December, which is good, but probably a little less than I thought it could be.

I'm with you, I sell mostly items I find at estate sales (trains, toys, and games) and I didn't really do any better than I did in November.

Crisscross4767 · 12-31-2016, 02:40 AM

When calculating Cost of Goods Sold do you add in any sales tax you paid on the purchase? For instance if a shirt cost $5.00 and the total after tax is $5.35, is the $5.35 the cost of goods sold or do you have to stick with just the $5.00 for some reason?

Aaron · 12-31-2016, 08:01 AM

Found my very first pair of Rock Revival jeans, another Cabela's fleece-lined jeans (this time a men's pair), along with a few more 7 For All Mankind ... but I think my best find (and it will be a keeper) was the 2-record Star Wars vinyl LP ... no scratches on it, either

babyfaceposey · 12-31-2016, 08:26 AM

Have sold 133 items for $4123.88 in December. My wife has some medical problems, so she no longer works and just does eBay as a full time job now. Would be great if she sold $4k every month, but she averages around $2800 a month. Majority is clothing.

TwinGnats · 12-31-2016, 09:19 AM

The tax is a part of your goods cost.
