    The fact that my mom had dozens and dozens of Jeff Gordon tees, jackets, sweatshirts, coats and more and we sold them a few years back for literally 25¢ each in a yard sale makes me want to cry....

    I like these unboxing videos. I have been an eBay member since 1989 and I am truly amazed at the prices you pay but I am floored when one sells for big money. And to think that I used all of my old t-shirts as rags for changing oil or working on a piece of furniture.

    That Jeff Gordon shirt is SICK!! Little backstory on the car.. This infamous car Nicknamed ‘T-Rex’ won the 1997 Winston All Star race. It pushed the limits of the rules and was considered so cutting edge for the time that NASCAR told them to never bring that car back to another race as going forward it would be considered illegal.

    Mu hubby worked for Best Buy for many years. At one time, they owned Redline Records and at achievers events, would have hit new bands like Maroon 5 and Foo Fighters play a private concert. We always received more free t-shirts at each event than we could possibly wear so we gave them to our kids for sleep shirts. What I wouldn’t give to have then back!

    I bulk adjusted all my ebay items to go from free shipping to charging shipping. Then lowered all my prices since there's a shipping cost. The items that had active offers to buyers. The price was lowered but the shipping was not added. So now I immediately get sales on items that I'm losing money. Basically they adjust prices but not shipping on listings that have offers to buyers.
