    Sorry for the goofy thumbnail freezeframe, I had to upload this video four times due to technical weirdness and didn't realize that was in there, and youtube hates it when you upload the same file too many times. Should be trimmed out when it finishes processing in a bit.

    I was so worried about you and am so happy to see you radiantly smiling. Ive had my struggles with depression and also with chronic, sometimes crippling pain. I know the signs very intimately, and watched you spiral down. Sunshine, sleep regulation, and living in the place where your spirit feels is "home", and for many of us the right combo of drugs, are the only things that can bring a depressed person back to life.

    Great video! Because of you I picked up a Charter Club merino wool today. On the topic of men's dress shirts. Dress shirts seem to be one of those pivots I've had to make at the bins when competition is fierce. Reject those with perspiration or ink stains (unless you think you can remove it with acetone). They are a bit more work as I think they really need to be pressed and presented well to sell. Hathaway, Robert Talbott, Woolrich, Proper Cloth are a few that I've sold in the last few days. And in only a few days after listing.

    Agreed about the dress shirts. Bougie office wear is dead. Plus, the extra effort it takes for them to be wrinkle free and presentable. I am having great luck with men’s shorts this year on Poshmark, even midrange brands in smaller sizes. Go figure. Hats off to MM the sequel. Enjoy your new life, Tropical Matt.

    We actually do well with men's button down dress shirts - We sell mostly menswear anyway & I do take the time to iron them and make them look presentable. We stick to a few key brands (Ralph Lauren, LL Bean, & such) and while they don't sell for a whole lot, we do sell a lot of them. ( We have a really low COG, like $2 max and sell them all day long in the $18-$22 range). Checked and we are ranked 281 currently in this category. We don't find as many that are new with tags to sell. At any rate ,thanks as always for your great advice.

    To tack one more brand onto your high-end wacky/zany golf brand list, J. Lindeberg. Not totally zany, but definitely bold, mostly stripes and colorblocks or their logo done real big and obnoxious, the sell through for "j. lindeberg polo shirt" pre-owned is 113%
    (just sold a NWT huge-logo one, sold in two days)

    Dress shirts: I've been doing well selling dress shirts to consigners like Crossroads. Dress shirts sell good in LOTS. For example tommy bahama, brooks brothers. I try to sell in lots. When I go to my cleaners, I notice that it's filled totally filled with long sleeve dress shirts. But, they're all patterned, like stripes and loud patterns like geometrics. Camp shirts in the summer are good for consignment.

  • @restylesecrets8251
    @restylesecrets8251 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don’t claim to be an eBay VeRO expert and everyone should do their own research but my policy is I don’t call something Gore-Tex unless I can prove it is. Similarly you can sell Velcro if it is actually Velcro (which would only be a new branded package, not on clothing). You can only sell a baby garment and call it a Onesie if it’s actually Gerber. And you can’t sell some courses or software because the original product sold was a nontransferable license. Like Rosetta Stone. Don’t use brand names as if they were generic terms. - oh this feels like Gore-Tex so I’m going to call it that 🚫. Just my two cents. Thanks, Matt, for your contributions to our Reseller Body of Knowledge q.v.
