The Thrift Store Thread - Sports Edition

[Ashburn Alley]

Just a heads up, if you guys are out and about at the thrift stores take a minute to look for ugly Christmas sweaters. This is the time to sell them. Pick up for around $3 sell for $15-$40 depending how ugly..... Lol

Extra cash for the holidays

Good tip.

anytime I get vintage Hawaii gear it sells quick. im guessing its because not that much was made

Damn. You make some good money doing this.

Got any tips? I've gone to my fair share of thrift stores but don't really know what to look for. Just name brand type stuff? Seems like sports stuff seems to sell well.

I look for vintage items in good condition or new with tags / new old stock. with the jackets the satin starter jackets are my #1 sellers, other good brands for jackets chalk line, logo athletic, pro player I just kinda know through trial and error which jackets sell and what doesn't.
I try to stick to popular teams and rare color variations. I kinda stick to what I know and wish I knew more to tell you the truth. as far as hats I have best luck with the snapback hats don't sell many fitted hats on ebay but sell those at yard sales and flea markets. I do well with baseball bats and vintage baseball gloves especially Wilson A2000's. bats from the early 2000's Easton redline c cores, z cores, z2k, connexions any -5 bats or bats with sc500 or c405 alloys. you just gotta learn from trail and error really. I don't really do to well with jerseys unless I can get for around $5 cause theyre tough to sell for more than $20 on ebay. vintage champion basketball jerseys are pretty popular right now. just too many fake Mitchell & ness out there to be able to sell jerseys

went to my first estate sale today. found a stack of old newspapers. $10 for all of them and this was sitting on top. (i bought the frame)

Story about Babe Ruth hitting a record 3 HRs in game 4 of the 1926 World Series against the Cardinals. Super cool.

Very cool, but try to get a matte in there so the paper doesn't sit flush on the glass.
