Thrift Store Item - Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirts



Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirts retail for $65.00 and up. I have found these at Thrift Stores and they are excellent sellers on eBay in used condition. Throughout the years the company has had some really cool designs such as Disney, MLB teams, and Elvis Hawaiian Shirts. If you find these at the thrift store chances are they won't be more than $4.99. Check out below for some eBay recent completed listings and the high prices these shirts have sold for in used condition. As with most men's shirts the bigger the size usually the more it will go for on eBay. XL and up usually sell the best.

Charity Auction - Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera Case




OK I know it seems like a small amount, but every Tuesday night I am going to list a new auction with 100% of the proceeds donated to charity. Hopefully the auctions will add up. My goal is to raise at least $500.00 before the end of 2009 through eBay auctions with all the donations going to different animal charities.


I am a huge wildlife / animal lover and proud vegetarian so even in these rough economic times I still try and help out those without a voice even if it is a small amount. There is just so much animal cruelty in this world and I can not understand what is wrong with people.


The proceeds from this auction will benefit Pit Bull Rescue Central

Pit Bull Rescue Central (PBRC) will: Help relieve suffering of and prevent cruelty to dogs identified as pit bulls and mixes thereof, through the public dissemination of educational information. Help reduce the number of homeless pit bulls and mixes thereof, through the public dissemination of educational information. Facilitate the rescue and placement of homeless dogs identified primarily as pit bulls and mixes thereof, into responsible homes.


So if you can help with a bid that would be great, if not this time check back every Wednesday and I will list a new auction and maybe you will find something you like.


Thank you,

John Paul & Zorro

Thrift Store - Thomas Pink Dress Shirts


Thomas Pink is a retail clothing company that started in England in the early 1980s. I have never heard of the Thomas Pink brand until I was browsing the rack at the local Thrift Store and saw this big Pink label inside of a mens dress shirt. The label instantly made me think that this was an expensive shirt. So I purchased it and went home and did some research on it. Men's Pink Dress shirts in the checker pattern sell for $40.00 and up in excellent used condition. The first shirt I purchased has a small rip in the top of the inside collar so I kept it for myself, and it's a great shirt that I get lots of compliments on. I have seen several Thomas Pink shirts since.

What's Your eBay Temptation?


We all do it every once in a while. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Run an eBay search for items we probably are not going to buy anytime in the near future, but we feel like looking at them anyway. It's just like window shopping on 5th avenue during the holidays. For me it is a nice little break from constantly selling items on eBay and rarely buying.


What's your eBay search weakness? I would say mine is searching for rare Range Rovers especially a 1997 Defender 90 Wagon. I am a Land Rover nut and I have wanted this truck which was only available in the US in 1994 1995 and 1997 in limited production. See the thing is the price is about the same now on a used one as it was on a new over 12 years ago in 1997.
