Thrifting for eBay -- Christmas Sweaters

I ran a number of dull errands yesterday, but still carved out a few minutes to stop at the S.E. 82nd Avenue Goodwill to hunt for hidden treasure. As always, I scoured the Christmas aisle for a letter "V" stocking holder for my "Oy Vey" dreams, but as can be expected, I struck out.

However, I made out in the Christmas sweater aisle, as there were two different H. Moser & CIE "holiday jumpers" priced at just $7.99 apiece. (I learned that H. Moser & CIE is a high end Swiss watch maker.) How did I know what they were? I didn't, but the quality stood out and they were different enough to justify an eBay "Completed Listings" search. And since that last two eBay listings sold for $75 and an offer from $275, picking them up was a no brainer!

There were zero of these sweaters listed on eBay, so I got mine listed immediately to take advantage of this moment in time. You can see that I priced them at $200 apiece, with the option to "make an offer." I've already turned down a $100 offer on the reindeer one, which I may later regret, but I need to take a deep breath and trust the process.

In case you think no one would pay $200 for a used Christmas sweater, may I present exhibit A:

The people who covet this brand might not bat an eye at $200!

Will they sell at this price? Possibly, but it's definitely worth a shot. Now I'm thinking I should've looked in the jewelry case!

Here's one of my listings and here's the other one. *
