Give us narration brother, I have no clue about the t shirt. What makes it significant? What are you looking for when you look at the shirt? What made you decide to buy it? What do you think you might get for it? Get one of your kids to help you. You are like watching American Pickers on mute.


I’m not a big shirt flipper, but I know what not to buy. This shirt is on the edge of “do buy/don’t buy”. It maybe vintage (20+ years old), and it has some nostalgia, being a record store in BR (it’s still open). I do know the shirt was made between 2004 - 2009, because I looked up the tag.
Most people that mainly flip clothes, look for single stitch, old concert tees, all over prints (front and back), etc.
I’ve seen shirts go for hundreds. Actually, I ran across on eBay, a 1970’s Sex Pistols tee shirt from the Kingfish in BR. It sold for $2500.
I bought this one mostly because it was only 50¢ and had a nice graphic on it, and it referred to records/music.

'tique, this type of video format would be better served on tik-tok i think, brether.

you could use it to promote more long-form videos if you wish to use Youtube for that

If I get invested in this again promise you aren't going to use the money and run off to 30a or Gatlinburg. I didn't know if I can take another let down like Las Vegas.

You named three places I will never go or will never go back. I cannot stand and will never go back to Vegas, refuse to go to Gatlinburg, and will never go back to the Gulf Shores.

Our next trip will probably be back to NYC, a place we love to visit.

So you’re going to document it only to pull the rug from everyone watching and spend the money elsewhere?

Does it matter where I spend it? I could just say “turning 50¢ into $10,000”, but I do plan to go to Japan within a couple years (just like I said in the last thread). I will finance it using OPM.

Now, the only thing that may change is, my daughters haven’t seen this shirt yet. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve bought clothes at a garage sale to flip, and they snatch them as I walk in the door, especially my oldest, she loves thrifted/vintage clothes.

Sorry, this ghostbusters themed keyboard you sold me is covered with boysenberry jam.


It is not "ectoplasm" like you told me.

I believe it was never about you saving up for Japan but instead you using that as a cover to basically run a free rolling classified ad on Chicken's site.

I don’t think I sold much to members of the OT. I do have a few regular customers that are from here, but I msg them outside of here. One likes military stuff, one likes old records, and one likes Legos.

Yea, you get attention for turning .50 into a trip to Japan, ask people to follow your journey and then do whatever the frick you please. Pretty slimy.

I could have not said a thing, started where my last post said I was at, around $2000 + $4000 in stuff for sale, but I’m sorry being honest is considered being slimy through your rose colored glasses.

Yes I know he’s selling other peoples shite, you can still have some sort of integrity. If he said let me flip .50 into 10,000 that’s different than watch me flip .50 into a trip to Japan and then proceed to spend it on a trip to Vegas

It’s not that serious. Who gives a frick? It’s tigerdroppings, if you are that aggrieved by his behavior, don’t open the thread.
