PS2 games have good value? Certain games obviously? Any tips would be appreciated.

Most of the ps2 games are pretty common. You will find tons of sports games that are $1 all day long. Certain harder to find games can have some good value. Those silent hill games are around $30 each.

Sold six items on Poshmark today. Killing it! Hope everyone else is having success.

I may have hit something good! The flannel shirt I got for $4 Is from an English company I have never heard of called barbour. Found the exact thing I have for sale for $265 on Ebay with no BIN. Definitely watching this one before I put it up.

Barbour is a good brand to find. It is very well known higher end clothing and one you should always keep your eye out for going forward.

If yours is a Yoshida here is a little about that line.

ames Bond (Daniel Craig) wears a Barbour "X To Ki To" Beacon Heritage Sports Jacket in the movie SkyFall. The jacket can be spotted on the cover photo of Bond on Set: Filming SkyFall and very briefly in the SkyFall trailer. Bond wears the jacket in Scotland, where it fits well in the environment, especially together with his Anderson Wheeler double rifle and Aston Martin DB5. Director Sam Mendes said that he wanted a 1960s feel in those scenes, and the Barbour jacket adds to this look.

NEW: Compare the X To Ki To and the new Commander jacket

The Barbour tailored sports jacket made from 6oz Sylkoil wax with the classic Barbour tarten lining. The jacket has a single welted chest pocket with two lower bellowed pockets, and two lower back poacher pockets. Other features include a removable articulated hood which Bond seems to have removed. This jacket is only available in Olive color, product code MWX0364OL71.

The jacket is part of the Beacon Heritage collection, a collaboration between Barbour and Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida. The collection is inspired by Barbour’s sporting, motorcycling and military past and offers a range of jackets, knitwear and shirts.

After doing some research, I am starting to think it may be a fake. I have been looking all over their websites etc. And cant find any flannel, this is a real nice quality thick flannel material though. Also not sure about the tagging. Their quilted jackets have the corduroy collar but cant find any shirts that do. I know they discontinued the beacon line at one point, so that makes it even harder. Pretty stumped. Even looked at a bunch of UK websites.

I own Barbour flannel myself, so it does exist (yes bought from the company and from Orvis who sells Barbour)

[callou2131]

The more I look it over the more I think it is real. The stitching is really really nice. A few buttons were replaced, and it has some schmutz on it but I think I can get it out. I may replace all the buttons to match and just keep it, because I dont think I will find another, and will never be able to buy a new one for myself.

2200(ish) games total in the PS2 library. The majority of them are not worth the price of shipping. However there are plenty of gems in there. The highest regular game is "Rule of Rose" which regularly sells for 300-400 dollars complete in box. Simple hint, if the game is made by "Atlus" buy it. Those games are heavily sought after and have a dedicated collector base.

Thank you. I’ll make sure to give the game sections at thrift stores the once over. Thanks again.

No problem. There is a few apps for pricing video games, I've never used any of them as searching completed ebay listings is usually faster. Oh and while I do agree 99% of sports games are junk, there are some rare sports titles that command decent money also. But yeah it's a ripe market but stiff competition and you really need to know what you're buying.

Also anything you've heard of like mario, zelda, donkey kong, final fantasy it might not make you rich but ALL of them are worth SOME money so if they're cheap enough you're safe to just buy them.

Voisin is an island off the coast of France and that tag looked European to me at first glance.

I cannot imagine this is licensed in any way...

but, a streetwear guy with all the roses may absolutely fall in love with it.

It's a very interesting find, let me know what comes of it, I'm curious.

Need help with this. Found this at a thrift shop on Friday. Can't find anywhere. Did a Google search on tag and nothing came up. Might just be some hip hop fashion company. Cool silky shirt though.

I looked up the brand on Worthpoint and none that looked exactly like that one sold but similar ones without a name on the back were in the $20-$30 range.

[callou2131]

Today goodwill had all yellow tags for .99 got there late, about 3 so didnt get as much as I would like, but did okay. Under armour shirt is nwot, got a royal Robbins shirt nwt (54.99) Jo's. A bank lambswool argyle, Ralph Lauren golf polo, and maybe 10 other shirts for .99 not sure about the Sean John lightweight jacket, but at 2 bucks I figured it was worth it.

It just depends on where you live and who is doing the pricing. I have several in my are and every single one is different on how they price items. One day a game can be 99 cents and the next it's $10. Some days stuff is out of control and that can drive you nuts at times. I just stick with it because I love it. Good luck!

Put out another Consigned! video. Some great stuff including a Gophers football gamer.

This. The ones in Maryland are 4.99 STARTING per shirt jerseys start at 10 pants start at 7. The ones in Delaware are MUCH cheaper. One by my house, target donates alot to them, and most of the stuff is priced higher than retail. Main thing is watch the sales. What they do here, this week all yellow barbs were half off. Then Sunday the yellow barbs left were .99. This week I think it is blue barbs half off. You can also get coupons by donating stuff. Around Christmas they have a buy a 50 dollar gift card, get 60 etc. Have to use all the resources you can. Something else I have been trying to do is have 1 or 2 pieces pay for your whole shopping trip, that way the rest is profit.
