Is he Missing in Action or just Missing? Or have I missed part of his story for the more recent months?

He’s been missing since he did a Facebook marketplace meet up at the Shades Motel to sell an antique toaster for $10

Couldn't come to an agreement with the brother of the guy who died on the vintage Nittaku ping pong ball set he wanted to gift the girls in Kyoto so he cancelled the trip.

He's got a you tube channel he keeps up on all his finds I think. He was tired of all you dickbags shitting on his posts.

Yep, I don’t blame him for not posting his buys anymore. The majority of people would get into his threads and just bash him for buying other people’s junk. Very common on the OT for posters to tell others how they should live their lives.

I keep a tab open with his eBay sales that I check daily. I’ve bought a couple cool things from him.

My only gripe with his threads was he’d buy something for say $3, then say its value was $100 and count that as a $97 profit. It’s not a profit until it sells.

He then started posting stuff that he sold and what he bought it for. Gripe solved.

But I did piss and moan in a lot of threads about it.




My wife (no pics) loves estate sales so every time we go I’m on the lookout for him, but have no idea what he looks like.

That’s quite the dilemma.

Didn't he end up having to spend the money on something else like medical expenses and then he started over?

Gotta have thick skin. A large percentage of this board will hate you if you're not some overweight plant worker that lives in some shitty suburb or rural area of Louisiana. Can't take it personal, they usually have zero clue what theyre talking about it anyway.

He found me some good WWII stuff. Haven’t heard from him in a while. He’s really good at what he does.

You get real advice and thoughts from people on every thread. However there is a lot of BS too, but that’s what makes it fun.

No. I think he used the money to go to Vegas.

How many hours does he spend thrifting? For all the time he puts into this he could just pick up some extra work shifts and still manage to pay for a trip in the same amount of time or less

Hmmmm…. Tough call. Work, or do something you love to make more money. That’s a toss up if you ask me.
