Ebay pre-saved searches

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to gather all the pre saved searches for Ebay I can, to get good deals. So far I have the ones from PTO and the ones listed on the MFA substack site. Any others I should know about?

i'm a lazy person who started with the PTO search, switched out a few brands, and saved the new search. also helpful if you're looking for subsets of things (e.g. cardigan instead of just sweater)

do you buy vintage stuff at all? I don't really know what brands are good as far as vintage stuff goes.

i do but i haven't really established much brand consistency regarding very old (pre-90s) brands

most of your common 'good' brands now will likely also be good if not better vintage (polo ralph lauren, ll bean, levi's, pendleton, woolrich, patagonia, plus any designer)

some mall brands will have good quality vintage (gap, banana republic, j.crew) but you'd have to determine how old the item is which varies from brand to brand

some of my best fits have been random brands that i've had to google and in those cases i find it's necessary to just google outright. even within the same brand, quality may differ from item to item or from year to year.

Gotcha, that's still very valuable advice. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind in the future
