That’s 99% of the men’s section of the one in BR as well, so I was excited (and dumbfounded) when I found the plain Jane Levi’s 501 jeans

My Boss was giving shtt to one of the PMs there about his jeans. Everyday he would tell him how nice of a pair, that he wished he had some.

The poor PM was from Brownsville (Mexican), the sarcasim got lost in translation.

That guy ended up buying my boss 5 pairs of those jeans. They aren't cheap. Bless his heart.

Considering that I’ve made over $2500 off garage/estate sale in the last three weeks, I’d say you don’t know what to look for.

Sounds like it’s time for me to get back in the game then, thanks baw

That’s just it, my daughters are frugal, but you know they want the high dollar shite (same as we did at that age).
My youngest (who is 13 as well) wants LuLuLemon. A pair of shorts are $60+ at the store. She has found two pair so far for $5 each.

Have the same problem. I was just kind of laughing at the people saying you were cheap for not buying your kid expensive clothing that she'll wear for 3 months before it's not cool again. I'm right there with you man

Oh I believe you

Those fees are a bitch I bet? I miss the days of being able to convince the buyer to complete the transaction outside of eBay for higher dollar items

Yes, I am a sleazeball

Yes and no. That’s $318 in eBay fees, but considering I have less than $500 into the junk, I can’t complain. This is just my sells on eBay. I also sell shite on FB, in particular groups, like vintage toys, zero fees!!! I’ve sold about $500 in vintage toys on FB in the last few weeks. Toys that I paid $20 for, including a ziplock bag of 40 redline and blackwall Hot Wheels cars that I had $5 in, sold for $200+.

The greatest thing about Plato’s, twice a year they have a 90% off sale of their clearance items. They will mark down out of season clothes (summer in the winter, etc). My daughter has actually gone in there, bought brand name shite for less than $20 (I’m talking $200 before discount, $1000’s worth of clothes brand new). She has taken the $20 of clothes back to sell to them, and they have given her $100+ for the same stuff she bought from them for less than $20.

Whatever you do with your pecker won't help a simple mind.

I love that place. Thrift stores are also worth it.
I got a new black Hilfiger suit, tags on it, for $29 at Purple Cow. Speaking of, I’ve probably gotten 4-5 suits from thrift stores. Jos. A. Banks, Ralph Lauren, etc.

$15 is not nothing. I can get just as good high quality clothing at Kohl’s or Walmart that hasn’t been previously worn for half that.
