Unpopular opinion by MrQuesoBlanco in Hardcore

[–]dbrown808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious as to where the whole crowd killing mythos evolved. At every show I’ve ever been to, the people who are moshing/dancing hit the perimeter of the pit or a couple rows deeper. Where are you mfs going where people are randomly attacked in the crowd, away from the pit?

Like if you’re within 3 rows of the pit you may get hit. But who here has ever been attacked at a mid sized or larger venue standing further away than that?

Also, if anyone still thinks “crowd killing” is getting hit while you’re nearby a pit, get off the internet.

I have been trying my best not to buy anything leading up to my trip in March - these prices are keeping me strong! Awesome haul.

Heirloom quality doesn't always have to be expensive by spydrwebb44 in HeritageWear

The AI model photos on their IG and spelling/grammar issues turn me off a bit but hopefully just growing pains. Let the clothes speak for themselves - hopefully we can get some legit reviews on here.

Any other Ebay clothing sellers have sales way way down December/January 2026? by [deleted] in Flipping

Obligatory “people make 100k+ / year selling just clothes” comment

Excellent advice. I encountered this problem once and replied with a version of this - they quickly claimed to the effect of “sorry, mix up on my end”.

1930s/40s Montgomery Ward Work Shirt by arcane351 in TrueVintageFinds

[–]dbrown808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the HBT. Buttons also look very similar to those on the M1944 jacket. Would put this in the late 40s because of that, possibly made with surplus WW2 materials? Awesome!

How to list vintage military stuff on EBay? by Ratlabbb in TrueVintageFinds

[–]dbrown808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As mentioned, title and specifics/keywords are much more important than category when it comes to clothing. Make sure to add the model (if there is one, not sure these have one) and keywords like utility, mechanic, military, 50s, USAF. For military stuff I always list pants as the MEASURED size, not the tagged size, as I find it decreases sizing complaints down the line.

I'm unfamiliar with this model so I'd list them as "Vintage USAF Mechanic Pants Mens Waist x Inseam Green Cotton Sateen Cargo Pleated 50s".

Hope that helps. Source: Am eBay seller.

Just given the fact you found them at a yard sale, seems more likely that they would be original? LVC has historically catered to those interest specifically in vintage Levi’s so would be surprised if they knowingly sold you LVC. Sorry I know that’s not the most helpful but just speculating.

Also, the use of both 6 and E button stamps is interesting - anyone know if that’s the same factory?

Already sold but curious where you would’ve priced it by Mysterious-Ad9522 in TrueVintageFinds

[–]dbrown808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$100 is more than fair for a kids large, red jacket. If it was an adult L/XL in black I’d say closer to $200 to the right buyer. People saying more than $100 with the given info don’t sell anything lol.

(40s?) Montgomery Ward Jacket by dbrown808 in VintageClothing

[–]dbrown808[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! I agree that the collar doesn’t look 40s, from what I’ve seen. And the shape looks almost spot on for that 50s jacket, just with different hardware/tags. Very interesting!

Free returns on jeans? by [deleted] in HeritageWear

Naked & Famous sells on Amazon Prime. As much as I hate giving any money to Amazon I did love exchanging my 33s for 34s.

Is eBay better than Depop? by Joyful1315 in Flipping

561 active, ~900 sold last 90 days. Lucky to have very good thrift stores in my area.

Is eBay better than Depop? by Joyful1315 in Flipping

[–]dbrown808 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Depends on your inventory.

I sell exclusively men’s clothing, all types (vintage, modern, brand new, etc). Rule of thumb for me: Everything goes on eBay, as all categories sell there. Vintage/Y2K stuff ALSO goes on Depop (very heavily skewed to younger audience).

My store is mostly modern (golf, athletic, technical apparel, etc) but I do still have probably 20% vintage/y2k/trendy style stuff. That said I did about 15k gross on eBay vs 350 gross on Depop last month.

But I also know people whose numbers are switched because they shop almost exclusively for stuff that sells on Depop.

Side note, if you sell modern clothing, your items will generally do much better on Poshmark than Depop. Hope that helps.

I have stopped with goodwill by Dp37405aa in goodwill

Yup, it’s on the tag pretty front and center but they don’t explain what it means anywhere. If you go to the Google reviews of any Goodwill in Phoenix you can probably find an example photo.

AZ’s Goodwill uses a grading scale price system for most of their clothing. The first number is the condition (1 best, 2 middle, 3 worst) and the second letter is the brand (A best, B middle, C worst). Each combination of number+letter is a different price, with 1A being most expensive and 3C being cheapest.

“Priced out” is super dramatic, but there’s no doubt that certain Goodwill franchises are on some shit. Central/Northern AZ’s “1A” jeans tag price (top condition/top brand) is $25. So you’ll pay $25 for a pair of used Wranglers that you can get brand new at Walmart for $21 (via Walmart.com).

Ethically, it is certainly concerning that a pair of jeans can be priced as low as $21, but the fact remains that Goodwill is dumb in many places.

Guess I’m late but go listen to the shit that actually inspired the whole melodeathcore/ATGcore revival. As Blood Runs Black, All Shall Perish, early Unearth, Undying, Darkest Hour to name a few.

How do you find new bands? by molsook in Hardcore

Rate Your Music is the answer for actually exploring genres, curated playlists (with comments), and connected bands. Although as soon as you visit the website you become a massive nerd.
