Clearly ladies clothes is a booming business for a lot of you ladies on here, is there a similar demand for blokes stuff do you know? I will soon be able to venture to a few boot sales so can keep my eye out for some mens stuff but was wondering if the stalwarts of this thread ever look for similar?!

Mens vintage sells well on ebay particularly vintage sports bags like Adidas

Leather jackets are quite good

Skinny fit Mod type suits too

Its worth having a look on the ebay pulse page to see what is most searched for and most watched www.ebay.co.uk/pulse and choose your category

I picked up a new (well maybe worn once) pair of Dr Marten chunky shoes yesterday for 3.50, i couldn't get my feet into them so when i get around to it i will e-bay them and maybe buy some that do fit.

Morning gang! Not really the weather for booting but did manage a jumble sale earlier to get my fix:

Today's finds were:
Levi's Eve jeans
New Look grey skinny jeans
Abercrombie and Fitch "Erin" skinny jeans - I've checked on-line and they are £90!
Karen Millen wool sweater dress
Man's Mackenzie black quilted jacket (very mod and discrete logo) - BF loves it!
Bench quilted jacket (very chavvy but ok for eBay)
Long-line black cardi
1980's trashy leopard print and velour batwing top
Lots of books (including Du Maurier's "Rebecca" to re-read)
Gosford Park DVD
Vintage straw shopping bag
2 x Autograph tops (for Mum)
Adidas swimming shorts
Very wide super-soft brown leather belt
Vintage brown vinyl overnight bag

Everything was 10p ...bargaintastic! Hope you all do well if you're out and about.

We're always on the look out for men's clothing - partly to suppliment BF's wardrobe and the rest to sell on . The trouble is that you boys tend wear your clothes until they fall apart so the pickings aren't so good.
You've only got to visit your local charity shop to see how the proportion of women's gear outnumbers the men's stuff.
It's very rare the vintage guy's clobber in my eBay shop doesn't sell.

true but there is no point getting rid of it when you can still wear it. maybe I am just a tightwad?

No reason at all to chuck it out (most of my our gear is a bit shabby) but not much good for resale.

Heya everyone, I'm doing a car boot tomorrow so won't be able to grab any fantastic bargains (unless there is some good stuff on the neighbouring stalls), but will be able to get rid of all the rubbish that's cluttering our house! And I get paid for it as well, I'd be glad to give away that wooden cat for free!
