Thrift Store Item 2 Sell - LL Bean Hunting Shoe Boots

Here is another great thrift store find, and I have had a lot of success this past month thrifting so stay tuned for some new items to add to your Thrift Store shopping list.

LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoes/Boots

Here is some interesting info to get started.

This is taken from wikipedia.org


L.L.Bean was founded in 1912 by avid hunter and fisherman Leon Leonwood Bean in Greenwood, Maine, who had developed a waterproof boot (a combination of lightweight leather uppers and rubber bottoms) that he sold to hunters. He obtained a list of nonresident Maine hunting license holders, prepared a descriptive mail order circular, set up a shop in his brother's basement in Freeport, Maine, and started a nationwide mail order business. By 1912, he was selling the "Bean Boot," or Maine Hunting Shoe, through a four-page mail-order catalog, and the boot remains a staple of the company's outdoor image.

These boots are good sellers on eBay.

I purchased this pair for $6.99

Sold for $98.99 total profit after fees $85.76....

Here is another pair, not an insane profit like the last pair but still for a $5.00 purchase not too bad for a pair of used shoes.

I have found 3 pairs in the last few months and the amount of auction visits and watchers are very high which is also great for exposure for your other current auctions.

Good Luck
