    Me and my wife are pro ebayers. Most of our thrifting is from retail arbitrage. Mainly Walmart. The last year or so has been real tough sourcing products from there. You really have to get lucky to find that sweet markdown. Lately it hasn't been there. We've gotten real crafty with thrifting now. Yard sales. Thrift stores (not boutiques) like Salvation Army and Goodwill. We find we have way better ROIs and more sales.

      -bulk pallets
      -OfferUp / Facebook / etc

    Hello my friend this crisis is real within the last year a lot stores have close in my community. Inflation is at an all time high. Someone warn us about this and yet we never listened. We are struggling too. We have to do flea markets to make ends meet and do flip someone’s items to make more money. It’s hard we also had to sell a lot of our personal jewelry to pay for bills and medical bills. But hopefully the economy gets better

    Hey Peter yes The black community knows all about Harold chicken with the # because even though the # stands for the store it also informed the consumers who fried the best chicken.. we use to say ( go to Harold # 16 because they fried better chicken or go Harold #2 because they had the best cole slaw) Harold was a staple on the south side especially in the 80’s the franchise was the Popeyes for the community. Harold was mostly based in Englewood , Roseland, south shore and Harvey. At the time this restaurant was our go to store for chicken. But along came Popeyes, Church’s chicken, Brown’s chicken, Kentucky fried chicken and others and Harold’s chicken Demise came about. Harold’s chicken was not a corporation but investors buying into the brand. So yes Peter you have a vintage sign that all the black communities know about. 👍🏻 Plus your sign was the very first logo because later they changed the logo with a chef with a hatchet chasing the chicken so you have the first original logo then came the chef logo chasing the chicken.. A terrific find you have ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
