Tis a belter - that cal craft bomber you have in the list - I missed out on that by $1 on the bay - it only sold for $58 iirc, its the second or 3rd time in a month or so this has happened and the items have turned up either on etsy or FB at a massive mark up, frustrating as I was bidding to wear - not sell on.

That stinks! There's nothing I hate more than greedy culture poachers that buy just to sell at profit; clothes, records, art, etc.

I don't mind if it's a fair mark up, but that jacket is serious money - I missed out on a job lot of items, again by £1 - it was a late night finish / early morning auction, so I put a max in, now the winning bidder is selling these items on individually.

To be fair he's not been greedy with the asking prices, I just get narked when I miss out on something to find it reselling for a mark up.

I want to buy a bucket hat, been seeing some vintage Brooks Brothers lately.

PS love that hat, btw. Not something I could pull off - might get a bucket hat for summer holidays though. I hear you Sancho.

A buddy of mine moved to SF a few years ago and he's been relegated to slumming it in an Oakland dump of an apartment.  He keeps trying to convince me to head west, but his situation doesn't really fill me with a great sense of confidence that I wouldn't end up in the same position.

One reason why, despite hating the Tories, I will not vote Labour - they had 13 years to give the common man affordable housing and failed to tackle the problem. Presumably on the assumption that the UK economy was going to become so strong on the basis of all the wonderful 'services' we can offer the world (e.g. getting each other in debt) that we would all be able to afford ridiculously expensive housing.

In other news: my Press/Hertling trousers have arrived and are outstanding.

YOU!!!!

Yeah, drop me a line if it doesn't work.
