About a month and a half ago I decided to put up this North Face jacket I got from the thrift store for $4. It was pre-owned but in good shape. I know North Face is a pretty good brand, but I was super surprised to see the bid go up to $45 for it. $45 for a USED North Face jacket!!! I was in shock (a good kind of shock) and now I know..If I find any more North Face at the thrift store, I need to start turning profits! LOL. I've sold on eBay before, I generally sell the brand name clothes I don't wear anymore, but I don't normally get all that much for them... So i was super surprised by this. Yay.
How about you? Have you found something that you've sold to be shockingly 'worth' more than you would have imagined? What kinds of items do you have luck with?

Yes just recently I found a pair of dansko shoes in a thrift store for $2.50 that I resold for $51. on eBay! They were v. nice shoes and I almost kept them, they were red and black clog like type. I was happy to get a profit from them. I have found other stuff in thrift stores and resold it but nothing like this one. I can't find any other things yet in there though, and they jacked up their prices abit now, unfortunately.

Hey you're back!
And that's a great turnaround for used item! You just gave me an idea. It might be worthwhile to look for such items the next time I go in a thrift store. I'd be happy if it could cover the shipping, the ebay fee, and double my money!
