Yes you need to just look for NBA ONES. Champion is generally the best ones.

Tons of MMA today as well as Tupac, Redline bat, Jordan, Barry Sanders and Ninja Turtles.

Ended up selling the Ralph Lauren sweater for $400

TwinGnats · 04-07-2014, 09:20 AM

what was it that made it so much? I personally like RL but that isn't a style I would wear.

It's a rare piece. Old RL is selling like crazy. I'm honestly surprised he didn't get more. I've sold multiple Ralph Lauren T Shirts for well over $100. The vintage Ralph Lauren is being bought up by a lot of the Japanese folk in California. If you find Ralph with the bear on it, you're sitting pretty. If you need examples I've got plenty I can provide.

A quick question, do you guys use BIN or Auction?

I used BIN/BO, when I run an auction I start it close to what I want.

that's what i was thinking is the best approach.

RandysHobby · 04-07-2014, 12:35 PM

Sold my green soccer jersey from last page for 20. Paid 4.98

Twinsfan33 · 04-07-2014, 12:38 PM

Wow, where in the hell do you guys get this type of quality stuff?! I might have to actually go out and check a Thrift Shop now!

TwinGnats · 04-07-2014, 12:39 PM

BIN, I sold that Vikings Logo Athletic which was awesome and rare in an auction. The problem with rare like that jacket is, I was not able to find a single example of one. You need time for people to stumble on it since nobody is looking for it.

How do you guys know what to buy??

TwinGnats · 04-07-2014, 12:55 PM

I spent a year reading a thread like this at FCB. Just seeing what people got, what it sold for. That's why I started it here. I post my stuff, but what I really want is to see what other people found and what they got for it.

So how do you know what stores to go to? Is it worth trying a Savers or Goodwill?

TwinGnats · 04-07-2014, 01:00 PM

In Minnesota, Thrift stores are the only option. I've heard garage sales are way better.

HOW IN THE HELL TO YOU PEOPLE GET THIS TYPE OF STUFF!!!!! Wow, I'm going to find one....

timfsu2k · 04-07-2014, 02:34 PM

Goodwill is usually good to me. Found a like new Polo Ralph Lauren three button polo shirt for $4!

Someone mentioned TJ Maxx...I wouldn't bother. They used to have really cheap pricing but in the last few years they have gotten more expensive. Last time I was in there they had their Polo shirts at $40. That is cheaper than normal retail but about the same as a Polo outlet store.

r0yals2012 · 04-07-2014, 03:24 PM

yeah garage sales are my favorite. Goodwill, other thrift stores you can find stuff maybe 3/10 times but 8/10 at garage sales you will find good stuff that you can flip and most of them you go to is underpriced and people don't know what they have

TwinGnats · 04-07-2014, 03:38 PM

I noticed I didn't finish my sentence before, no garage sales in the winter in Minnesota. They're going to ramp up in a couple weeks. TJ Maxx is good for the shirts I look for, a lot of them came from TJ Maxx I would bet, but in 1994. You could probably find great stuff there, but you would have to hold onto it for 20 years.

KEARYCOLBERT83 · 04-07-2014, 06:59 PM

I go to GW nearly every day and end up spending about $50-100 each time. There is ALWAYS stuff there to buy if you know what to look for. I do not find much sports related stuff though. But if you take the time to go through all the clothing there are some good finds. I never find the home run but I usually find stuff worth 4-5 times the money.

* And I am just currently in a crappy college town. Once I go back home to Pittsburgh I am sure I will find even more.

Do you sell on Instagram also, or mostly eBay?

I just started listing stuff on ebay, before I would sell it to friends and other people who sold strictly clothing. I have a lot of the nice stuff still. Didn't go full blown until recently. I never knew a lot of this stuff did so well online.

In the past week I have bought probably 250 shirts. I really am starting to lose storage space fast.

Dang bro you went all in!!
