I can't believe what young kids will pay for "vintage" clothes. I just sold a used Carhartt jacket for $165 online. I found at a thrift store a decade ago and worked the farm in it until it was faded and worn out.

Now all that sun fade and stains are worth money to youngsters. Sure it has a cord collar and a blanket lining but who gives a shit. There are millions of jackets.

I have a theory that kids are so excluded from buying things with real value that they are pumping money into niche categories like jinko jeans and carhartt jackets because they have no other markets to "invest" in.

Looking cool, or having a "rare" item to try and flip is all they got when houses, cars, stocks and sats seem unobtainable.

All I know is I will happily sell my old closet of used farm clothes for thousands of dollars and buy sats with the proceeds.
