Peter Millar has been absolutely COOKING. This is the past four weeks and I am not surprised at all. I still have a few listed, but every spring/summer I sell out of my "crown crafted" guaranteed. Then my "summer comfort" styles sell more consistently and less urgently throughout the summer, but still well. I don't accept less than $30 for Crown Crafted (priced at $35) and not less than $25 for Summer Comfort (priced at $30). Depending on the style/course/print, they each could increase by $5. I wish I had 1,000 of these shirts!!!

This was a TON of work. Thankfully it paid off literally and figuratively and will help make space for more items while making my process more efficient as well. I’m so grateful for the lady for buying my bins and hopefully they prove as useful for her as they were for me.

The biggest sale of 2026 will undoubtedly not come from garage sales or thrift stores or a storage unit. It will come from my friends knowing I resell stuff, and telling me about a connection to someone who was going to throw these away 😬

Have you found this brand before? Idk how to even say it, but I promise you I won’t forget it 😉

Would you scoop this up? At least once a week someone dunks on Nike and lets me know how oversaturated the market is and how people don’t buy it or how it’s not valuable.
Before the summer exploded with Peter millar in my closet, Nike was leading the way in sales almost the whole winter and spring. You have to be selective sure, all Nike isn’t created equal, but there are plenty of pieces worth picking up that are even worth in the hundreds. I have receipts 😉

Easily my least favorite reason for a return…. 🫠🫠🫠 Poshmark would never ❤️

Are you familiar with this brand???

This is the second run of brands that I have posted in the last month. This doesn’t happen often and is quite unfrequent actually but the fact that this has just happened again is insane. A trusted brand with trusted value and hitting it item after item on one single rack makes that thrift trip in end of itself so profitable. These are each priced at eight dollars each and just one of them will pay for all of them. Now I didn’t show this, but I did end up having to put one back as I found a hole in the crotch later so don’t let an amazing run on a rack distract you from the reality of a potential mistake too. Which is definitely happened to me before lol
