hi ladies, got a question for you....

so this thrifting habit that i discovered is getting out of hand (LOL!) i think i just filled my closet in a matter of two weeks because of a lot of awesome finds! i'm thinking of selling them and keeping some stuff that i really really like.

do you also sell your thrift finds?

TIA!

Yes! I sell the majority of my finds to fund my shopping habit and only keep the things that I like the very best! I love my inexpensive finds but also will occasionally splurge on something expensive. My thrift info generally fund those purchases.

Yes!!! I think it's the same for all of us, it's become an obsession! I mean who can say no to $1 whatever!!! Right? But the more you thrift the more picky you get because space becomes an issue. So eventually the finds you thought we're awesome get replaced by even better stuff. I started selling on eBay because of this! Eventually I would find something so amazing that doesn't for me and have to buy it just to sell it! Now I have a full closet of stuff that I need to sell but it's not that easy to sell on eBay! Specially clothes! If I had a tip don't buy just anything to sell, buy what you love and if you love it less tomorrow, sell it! Sometimes you will be surprised about what people are willing to pay for stuff. For me it's become a fun hobby!!! I can also justify buying more stuff if I'm selling some!

That is great advice. I have ended up stuck with things that I thought would be great sellers on ebay ...but remain. I no longer buy clothes to sell on ebay, I stick with bags and accessories, as they sell better for me.

I realize that I purge and clean my closet way too often ..to the point where I sometimes kick myself for getting rid of things, and then wanting it later.

Hello there. I'm new to TPF but have a question. I came across some YSL shoes at a thrift store this morning and they are in perfect condition. I bought them but on the way home I realized they are a size 7N. Does YSL sell shoes in US sizes?

No ysl always sells in European size. You can take pics and post them here and we can help you out!

Ok here they are. I tried to get all angles and the stitching. The material is really great and the leather inside is buttery soft.

That is a safe assumption. I have cut way back on my thrifting (that's why I was missing for a while). If I don't LOVE it, I don't buy it, anymore. It can get really out of hand, really fast. I have always sold the stuff I am bored with on eBay.
