A few recent sales

Well I finally finished my Final Evaluation Period at work.  We passed with flying colors, which is to be expected.  Its been a very long week, and I have not had much sleep.  

I reached 2 big milestones in the past couple weeks!   

I am now a SILVER powerseller!  

Not too shabby for only being on ebay for 7 months, and doing it part time.  :)

My next milestone I reached was a feedback score of 200, with 100% positive feedback.  

Ok enough about that lets check out some of the things that I have sold recently

Recent sale #1

I have been selling a lot of Pendleton wool recently.

I didn't quite understand why Pendleton wool was selling for so much until I started finding pieces at the thrift stores.  Whatever they do over at Pendleton, they do it very well.  Pendleton lasts a LONG time if you take care of it properly.

Here are some of my sales:

Pendleton high grade western wear  - These are my favorite.  I don't wear western wear stuff, but the pearl snaps are pretty cool.   Paid $4.99

Pendleton shadow wool loop collar flap shirt - So far these are the best sellers.    These shirts are from the 70s, they have a loop by the collar, and the flaps on the pockets are buttonless.   Paid $4.99

Another loop flap - As far as the loop flap shirts go I generally am willing to pay up to $14.00, but only if they are in excellent condition.

The big thing want to check for on these shirts are the obvious ones, rips, tears, stains, and smells but you also want to look for moth holes.  The best way to do this is to raise the shirt towards a light and see if there are holes.    

I have sold shirts with holes, but you need to make sure you describe the holes in your listing.

I like selling clothing because it's easy to ship.    Oh and for all you sellers out there that want to cut down shipping prices for clothing, you should to get some of these poly bags, you won't regret it.

100 (One Hundred S5 (Dimension 12" X 15 1/2") Poly Mailers) Tear-proof, Water-resistant and Postage-saving Lightweight Self-seal Poly Mailers/ Shipping Bags.

When  purchased these poly shipping bags, I was a little bit worried how they were going to work, and how fast I was going to go through them, but I soon learned I had made the right descision.

 I only have about 30 left, so I am going to have to put in another order soon.


Recent sale #2


Vintage woolrich wool shirts and coats.

I sell the shirts for about $20-30 each, and the some of the coats can bring over $100.00

I usually pay about $5.00 for a shirt, and spend less than $20.00 per coat.

To the left are some examples of woolrich.  You need to do some research to see what the vintage woorich labels look like.


Recent sale #3

My next sale that I am going to tell you about is one of my best performers, BUT I don't find them very often.

Dorothy Thorpe roly poly glasses

Most thrift stores do not know who Dorothy Thorpe is, or how much these glasses are worth.

I usually pay about .45 cents per glass for these bad boys, and as you can see this set sold within 3 days for $79.99.


Recent sale #4

Mid century modern teak wafer art

A couple months ago, I sold a set similar to these for $59.99.

These were cats, and being a cat person, I know cat people go gaga for cat stuff.  I figured there must be at least one mid century modernist who liked cats, so I put $99.99 on the sale price.   3 days later it sold.

Well thats all for now, I am going to do some shopping tomorrow so hopefully I will find some goodies!
