Piggybacking off last weeks blog post (Missing the Thrift) I thought that I’d share a few of my recent eBay wins. If you know me you know that I’ve never been big on eBay. I took a lot of losses early on (years and years ago) and it really deterred me. It was a rough start, but I’ve learned too apply those lessons, and it has definitely improved my eBaying experience. Now let’s get to the good stuff.
Below are the goods that I’ve scored. Nothing here cost too much. The highest price item was the vintage canvas field jacket which I love. It was $35 shipped. I mentioned piggybacking on an old blog post above, but there is more piggybacking here as well. I copped this vintage Ralph Lauren Country flannel (See my Country Flannel post) and two chambray work shirts. The chambray shirts are from Stronghold LA and the cotton/linen one is from Express of all places. Next up is a pair of NOS flannel lined LL Bean khakis. Last but not least I got an almost NOS 90s MiUSA Eastpak backpack to replace my old backpack that finally died. Not a bad haul for a little over $100!
The chambray is great. Never heard of Stonghold but will be looking into them now!
I’m 36 now, and still have my Jansport from 6th grade, still going strong. Something to be said for a well made, basic backpack
That bag is holding up! I had never heard of them either, but it fit the bill and it was cheap.
Thanks, Jerrod! I feel like you may have mentioned this in an older post, but would you share some of your favorite online shops (eBay or elsewhere)? I enjoy thrifting when I can, but time doesn’t always allow for it. I’m an eBay novice, but your post has inspired me to try it out more. Thanks for sharing, as always!
Awesome.
