      @Andy Mandujano mossimo was a skate brand in the 90s, I'm under the impression that vintage stuff is worth picking up

      FYI some vintage Mossimo before it was bought by Target can sell for a good bit!

    It's good to see unfiltered sourcing like this. It gets discouraging to rifle through three or four times as many shirts as this and still come up empty-handed. I feel like I should be finding more. I do have days where the heavens part and angels sing, but this video looks very typical of my sourcing experience. If I could flip Sonoma and Van Heusen at Goodwill prices I'd be a millionaire.

    Vintage Disney sells well for me. I sold an anniversary hoodie a while back and hung it outside my back door to air out before shipping bc I hadn't washed it which I always always do but I'd just gotten it and it seemed super clean. Soo I forgot all about it and the next day we had a big snowstorm. Shirt blew down off my deck and was literally and I mean literally buried under a foot of snow. Went to ship it the next day, freaked out that I couldn't find it anywhere. Cut to me with an actual shovel, ecstatically uncovering the sweatshirt, frozen stiff. Banged it on the floor so I could crush it up enough to put in the washer. It came out great. The end. The life.

    I LOVE seeing the unfiltered sourcing, and learning all of the Ass brands.
    It’s good to know what to look for, but I think it’s even more helpful to know what to pass on. It saves so much time at the thrift.

  • @HoonAgain

      Things the peoples who watch pass that ass say while sourcing.
      That reeks of assness, oh God, more ass. What in the booty bump is all this ass today? That even looks like ass! Maybe I should get it, ugly sells….how much is it? 12.99?!! Geezus Goodwill your prices suck ass.
      Every single time.

    I absolutely love this format of video. It was not boring at all! I would actually watch it every week because it’s really cool to see you thrift and explain some of the vintage tags and just to see what you end up seeing. Plus it kind of makes me feel like I’m thrift thing, which I’m not at that moment. Also I’d love to see videos if you do suits, slacks, t-shirts or any other men’s stuff. I love your content.

    Love the format! Thank you for sharing!!! So many videos just show the wins portraying an unrealistic expectation about ALL this great stuff at the thrifts when in reality there’s a lot of a** brands (love that term) that you have to sort through. Thank you for the reality check and wealth of info (including those to pass at the higher retail prices but still a good pick up at the bins).

  • @joecamerer2865
    @joecamerer2865 2 роки тому +2

    that was fun to watch, especially enjoyed your comments about what you would get if it was from the bins, which shows that there is some decent return if purchased for the right price.

      Also, I think my new BOLO is Corduroy jeans, I didn't think they were in style but found a levi's one and bought since my goodwill keeps them with dress pants, which are only $4 instead of $7 for jeans. I was stunned at how much they sold for and mine sold in 24 hours about $10 more than I was anticipating when I bought them. The sell through on used ones is pretty good across all brands.

  • @Havenforhealing

    Thanks for doing videos like this. Just wanted to pass along what I know on the Brand Resistol…- Resistol makes high quality western apparel. Their shirts sell well for me, but If you come across any Resistol cowboy hats pick them up as they can resell for top dollar. Picked one up at the bins & sold it in a week or so for $90.

    Ok Junk Monkey story time. Just finished part one. I had to chuckle as you talked about the ripstop fishing shirts. I'm wearing one as I type this. I was in the GW going through the men's jackets at warp 9.2 when an all over print spell out champion windbreaker with snap buttons stopped me in my tracks. As I'm looking it up to see if it was worth the $12.99 (it wasn't, comps out at $20-25) This kid on the other side of the rack (feel free to read this in the most stereotypical California beach bum pot head voice, because that is exactly how he spoke) says to me "Duuuuude , you wanna know sumpthin?" I look over at him and say "Sure" he said "If you find one of these um shirts and it says Made in Italy, it's worth a loooooot of money" to which I reply "Unless it's Alfani, what do you thinks of this jacket" I held it up , he got very excited and said "Duuuuude that is GOLD!!!!!" I asked if he wanted it and that seemed to confuse him. He asked if I was kidding and I handed it over the rack to him. He shuffled off to the front as fast as his cannabis soaked brain cells could motivate his feet to the front to pay for it and leave. lol I hope I didn't get too deep into his fun money.

    Thanks, a very useful go-through. I collect vintage aloha wear and your advice is spot on. If it's not made in Hawai'i a definite pass for me. Beware of "styled in Hawaii" or "made in Hawaii of imported fabric." Getting ever more difficult to find good vintage, even here in my part of the SoCal.
