Well, I wasnt too sure. I put it on Ebay at 100, with a best offer. Am I off with my pricing?

And went out to two stores this morning. Left a Tebow Broncos Jersey. Cost was 8 bucks, but theres a bunch on Ebay for 20 and it didnt seem worth the effort.

I did notice a lot of people lately that dont look like usual goodwill shoppers. Lots of guys 30 to 40, rippin thru the store real quickly... Never noticed them before. Makes me wonder if that thrift show is bringing out a new bunch of thrifters.

All of those pickers shows are screwing up the hobby. It's a bunch of guys who are only there because they think they can make a buck. Also the goodwills are starting to price stuff according to eBay. Seen a snap back for 8 dollars the other day LOL. I mean there are still deals to be had but at those prices its not worth my time and effort. I started going to goodwills when I got my license nearly 4 years ago and the whole culture has changed. It was a few people trying to make a buck and more trying to find practical items. Now its flip flopped.

Picked up this Habs Koho On-Ice jersey for $5.99. Managed to swipe it from an employee as she was wheeling it out.

Just got this for 4 bucks. Its gonna test my laundry abilities, but if I dont get all the stains out maybe itll be a nice wearable Jersey for one of the braves fans here. Btw, its an XL

I have a guide to washing. Click my eBay name, and there should be something that says REVIEWER or something similar. I've gotten stains out that I didn't think had a chance.

Also starting Amazon FBA thing so I can still kind of do this during the baseball season. Mainly scanning books at thrift stores and retail arbitrage. Had my first FBA package delivered to Amazon warehouse today. Excited to see how it works out.

Well, I worked on this Braves Jersey quite a bit, and im quite impressed with how it turned out, evrn though it all didnt come out. I took many pics for my listing, and put it up for 20 bucks. So, we will see. If any of you guys are interested in it, or knows someone who would be, send me a message. Ill sell it to a fcb member for half that. Heres some before and after pics.
