The short answer
What thrift brands sell for over $100 on eBay?
When I made this video in March 2025, SCOTTeVEST jackets, KUIU pants, military Gen 3 cold-weather jackets, Crye Precision pants, and Pendleton Aztec/Navajo jackets were showing $100+ eBay comps. Examples shown included SCOTTeVEST at $200, KUIU coveralls at $400, and Pendleton jackets around $800. The rule: check sell-through, not price alone.
- When the video went up on Mar 19, 2025, SCOTTeVEST jackets showed 746 active listings and about 1,000 sold in the previous 90 days.
- KUIU pants showed 113 active listings and 438 sold, with several hunting and down pants comps from $250 to $400.
- Military Gen 3 cold-weather jackets looked plain from the outside, but showed 133 active listings and 94 sold.
- Crye Precision pants had the strongest demand in the video: 311 active listings and 684 sold, with some comps far above $100.
- For rare, high-demand items like Crye Precision or Pendleton Aztec jackets, I would list near the top of the market instead of racing to the bottom.

A lot of $100+ clothing at the thrift does not look expensive on the rack. When I made this video on Mar 19, 2025, the strongest examples were utility, hunting, military, and heritage outerwear pieces that many resellers walk past because the tags are not as familiar as Nike or Lululemon.
The big lesson is simple: price and sell-through have to work together. A brand can have huge comps, but if it takes years to sell, that is not the business I want to build. In this video, I was looking for items with strong sold prices and a healthy eBay sell-through rate, using the active and sold counts shown at the time the video went up.
The $100+ thrift brands I would slow down for
These are the brands and categories I was studying in March 2025 because they were showing real demand on eBay. The numbers below are from the video, so treat them as a market snapshot from that upload date, not current pricing.
| Brand or item | Active shown | Sold shown | Prices shown in the video | What to look for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCOTTeVEST jackets | 746 | About 1,000 | $200, $150, $154, $139, $133 | Minimalist travel jackets, lots of interior pockets, RFID/travel vests |
| KUIU pants | 113 | 438 | $400, $390, $350, $289, $270, $250 | Hunting pants, down pants, cargo pants, ram logo, technical outdoor fabric |
| Military Gen 3 cold-weather jackets | 133 | 94 | $200, $189, $184, $168, $167, $164, $150 | Plain military outerwear with official Gen 3 markings inside |
| Crye Precision pants | 311 | 684 | $3,800, $1,400, $900, $675, $575, $450 | Combat pants, knee pads, Made in USA tags, military gear, distressed pairs too |
| Pendleton Aztec/Navajo jackets | About 1,700 | 927 | $825, $800, $750, $675, $600, $464 | Aztec, Navajo, Chief Joseph-style patterns, blanket coats, statement jackets |
A sell-through rate is not magic, but it is one of the best quick filters you can use. I like looking at how many are listed versus how many sold in the last 90 days. If there are 100 listed and 100 sold, that is a strong signal. If there are 100 listed and 5 sold, I need a much better reason to buy it.
How much do SCOTTeVEST jackets sell for?
SCOTTeVEST jackets were selling for well over $100 in many examples when I made this video, and the sell-through was excellent. The search I showed had 746 pre-owned SCOTTeVEST jackets listed and about 1,000 sold in the previous 90 days.
That is the kind of number that gets my attention. When I see over 100% sell-through on eBay, I am usually interested even if the profit is smaller. In this case, the profit was not small. The examples on screen included sold prices around $200, $150, $154, $139, $133, $145, and $140.
The reason SCOTTeVEST is easy to miss is that the outside is usually not loud. These jackets can look plain, basic, and minimalist. The value is in the function. They are known for utility pockets, travel features, hidden compartments, and sometimes RFID blocking.
You want to open the jacket and check the inside neck area. That is where the branding is often easier to spot. In the video, I also showed that the vests can do well. Some SCOTTeVEST RFID travel vests were in the $75 to $120 range, and one extra-large vest example sold for $150.
I have sold polos and T-shirts from this brand for over $50, so I do not only look at jackets. But if I am standing in a thrift store and find a clean SCOTTeVEST jacket or vest, I am checking it every time. In March 2025, I said I would even pay $20, $30, or $40 for the right piece because the demand was that strong.
The catch is seasonality. We were coming out of winter when this video went up, so jacket demand was still strong. I expected that sell-through to dip in peak summer, but the brand was still one I wanted on my list.
Is KUIU worth picking up at thrift stores?
KUIU was absolutely worth checking in March 2025, especially pants, because the active-to-sold ratio was wild. The search I showed had 113 pre-owned KUIU pants listed and 438 sold.
KUIU is a hunting and technical outdoor brand. I have only found a couple pairs in years of reselling, but when I did, they moved fast. I listed KUIU pants for over $100 on eBay, and they sold pretty much within a week. I also mentioned running a pair on Whatnot later in the year that sold around $75 to $78, and I was happy with that because I believe I paid about $5.
The high-end comps in the video were the real eye-opener. KUIU hunting pants, overalls, coveralls, and down pants showed sold prices like $400, $390, $350, $289, $270, $250, $239, and $229. A pair similar to what I had sold showed around $137 on eBay.
What makes KUIU such a good thrift brand is that many stores still do not recognize it. I said in the video that my local Goodwill might price Levi’s at $25 but miss KUIU for $5, $7, or $9. That is exactly why you need to keep studying brands. Thrift stores are getting better at research, but they do not catch everything.
Look for the KUIU name and the ram logo, often on the outside of the garment. Check pockets, waistbands, and small logos. Hunting and technical outdoor pants can blend in with regular cargo pants if you are moving too fast.
I would pay $20, $30, or even $40 for the right KUIU pants based on what I was seeing when the video went up. It is not a brand you will find every day, but when you do, it can be a serious money maker.
What military Gen 3 jackets should resellers look for?
Military Gen 3 cold-weather jackets were showing $100+ sold prices and a strong sell-through rate in March 2025. The search I showed had 133 pre-owned listed and 94 sold, which I called roughly a 70% to 80% sell-through rate.
These are easy to pass up because they often look boring from the outside. If you are at the bins and moving fast, nothing about the outside may scream money. That is why you have to slow down and check the inside tags.
The examples in the video included sold prices around $200, $189, $184, $168, $167, $164, and $150. I also pointed out lower-end examples around $125 and $100. That is still a great thrift flip if your buy cost is reasonable.
The key detail is the inner tag. I was looking for official Gen 3 military markings and cold-weather construction. Some are down-filled or built for extreme conditions, which is part of why buyers want them.
This is one of those categories where plain does not mean cheap. In fact, plain military gear can be exactly what buyers search for because they care about function, authenticity, and specs more than fashion branding.
Seasonality matters here too. When summer hits, cold-weather jacket sell-through can slow down. But I still like getting good military outerwear listed because it is always cold somewhere, and the right buyer may be searching year-round.
Why are Crye Precision pants so valuable?
Crye Precision pants were one of the strongest items in the video because the sell-through and sold prices were both excellent. The search I showed had 311 pre-owned Crye Precision pants listed and 684 sold.
That is more than a 200% sell-through rate based on the numbers shown at the time. Unlike winter jackets, I said this brand was not just a seasonal play. Military and tactical buyers look for Crye Precision year-round.
I have only found one Crye Precision item in four years of reselling. It was a pair of heavily distressed pants, and they still sold for about $200. That is the kind of brand where flaws do not automatically kill the value.
The comps on screen were crazy. I showed Crye Precision pants and military gear with sold prices like $3,800, $1,400, $900, $675, $575, and $450. One example with holes and distressing still showed a huge sold price. Another Crye Precision combat pants example sold for $450.
You want to look for combat pants, tactical pants, knee pad slots or included knee pads, Made in USA tags, and military construction. I also showed examples where Crye Precision was connected with DriFire pieces, so if you see that type of military performance gear, slow down and research it.
This is not a brand you are going to find like Lululemon, Nike, or The North Face. That is the point. Most resellers know the common mall and outdoor brands. Fewer resellers know the tactical and military brands that can sell for hundreds.
Add Crye Precision to your brand list. You cannot remember everything, especially if you source often. I believe every reseller should keep a spreadsheet or notes app with brands they are learning, brands they have sold, and brands they want to check again.
Once you find one of these higher-dollar pieces, take the time to build a clean listing. A few good photos, the right keywords, and measurements matter. If you want to speed that part up, EasyFlip can write the listing from a few photos.
How much do Pendleton Aztec and Navajo jackets sell for?
Pendleton Aztec, Navajo, and Chief Joseph-style jackets were selling for several hundred dollars in the March 2025 eBay results I showed. The search had about 1,700 active pre-owned listings and 927 sold in the previous 90 days.
That sell-through was not as insane as Crye Precision or KUIU, but it was still strong for a category with higher average sale prices. The examples on screen included $825, $800, $750, $675, $600, $464, $430, $425, and $419.
I am in the Pacific Northwest, so I come across Pendleton more often than some resellers. But the important part is not just the brand. It is the pattern and style. Standard Pendleton can be good, but Pendleton with bold Aztec, Navajo, blanket coat, or Chief Joseph-style designs can be a different level.
These pieces look like art. That is part of why buyers pay up. The color, pattern, embroidery, and jacket style all matter. A plain shirt is not the same as a statement wool jacket or blanket coat.
If I found one of these, I would not list it low. For common items like a basic The North Face jacket or Lululemon pants, I might price in the middle of the market to move it. For rare, in-demand pieces like Pendleton Aztec jackets, I want to list near the top of the market and wait for the right buyer.
The catch is condition. With wool and older Pendleton pieces, check for holes, moth damage, stains, missing buttons, odors, and lining issues. A beautiful pattern can still sell with some flaws, but you need to disclose them and price accordingly.
How I decide whether to pay up for a thrift find
I do not buy a brand just because one sold comp is high. I want to see the relationship between average sale price and sell-through. In this video, I said my own baseline has often been around a 30% sell-through rate or higher because I do not mind holding some items longer if the profit is there.
But when I see 100% sell-through or better, I pay much closer attention. If an item has 100 active and 100 sold in 90 days, there is a decent chance it can sell within a few months if I price and list it well.
Here is the way I think about it at the rack:
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the brand in demand? | A strong name can bring buyers even if the piece looks plain. |
| How many are listed? | Too much competition can slow the sale unless the item is special. |
| How many sold in 90 days? | This shows real buyer demand when the video was made. |
| Is the condition good enough? | High-end buyers still care about flaws, odors, and missing parts. |
| Can I price near the top? | Rare, high-demand pieces should not be underpriced too quickly. |
This is also why studying matters. The money is not always in the obvious brands. Sometimes the best flip is the plain jacket with 15 pockets, the hunting pants with a small ram logo, or the military pants with knee pads.
If you want more sourcing breakdowns like this, I share reseller notes and updates through the newsletter at /newsletter.
The bottom line
This week, slow down in the outerwear, hunting, cargo pants, and military sections. Check inside tags, small logos, pocket details, and pattern names before you pass on something that looks basic.
When I made this video in March 2025, SCOTTeVEST, KUIU, military Gen 3 jackets, Crye Precision, and Pendleton Aztec/Navajo jackets were all showing the kind of numbers I want to see: $100+ comps and enough sold activity to justify the pickup. The real move is to build your brand list now, so when one of these shows up at the thrift, you already know what you are looking at.
Questions people ask
What thrift brands sell for over $100 on eBay?
In this March 2025 video, the strongest examples I covered were SCOTTeVEST, KUIU, military Gen 3 cold-weather jackets, Crye Precision, and Pendleton Aztec/Navajo jackets. Several examples shown were over $100, and some Crye Precision, KUIU, and Pendleton pieces were far higher.
Is SCOTTeVEST worth reselling?
SCOTTeVEST was worth checking when this video went up because jackets showed 746 active listings and about 1,000 sold in the prior 90 days. The brand can look plain outside, so check the inner neck branding and look for travel pockets, RFID features, and utility designs.
How do I spot KUIU at a thrift store?
Look for the KUIU name and the ram logo, especially on hunting pants, down pants, cargo pants, and technical outdoor gear. In the March 2025 snapshot from the video, KUIU pants showed 113 active listings and 438 sold.
Are military jackets good to sell on eBay?
Some military jackets are very good, especially the Gen 3 cold-weather jackets I showed in the video. They looked plain, but the March 2025 eBay results showed 133 active and 94 sold, with examples around $150 to $200.
Why are Crye Precision pants so expensive?
Crye Precision makes high-demand tactical and military gear, and buyers pay up for combat pants, knee pad styles, Made in USA pieces, and hard-to-find models. In the video, Crye Precision pants showed 311 active listings and 684 sold, with some very high sold prices.
Should I list rare thrift finds high or low?
For rare, in-demand pieces like Crye Precision pants or Pendleton Aztec jackets, I would list near the top of the market based on the comps shown in the video. For more common items, I am more likely to price in the middle of the market to move them faster.

We're going to be going over brands that sell for over $100 on eBay that you are passing up at the thrift store. Stick around to the last one because the price may shock you. You may have found some of these brands before, but it's really important to really know what some of these brands sell for, especially when you go out sourcing time and time again, because there's a good chance you're passing up money on the table. So that's why I make these videos to help educate new resellers and seasoned resellers to really do like a market overview to really know what brands are selling for the most money so you could start picking them up and start flipping them for really good profit. So we're going to be also going over sellrough rate just to see um you know what is the rate of these items that it takes to sell for. I think that's
important too. I think they go together average sale price and sellrough rate. I mean, things could sell for thousands of dollars, but they may take years to sell. And I don't think we really want to build that type of business model. So, not only do these items sell for good money, they sell relatively quickly, meaning about 30 to 50% sell through rate on eBay. So, let's not waste time. Let's get into it. Some of these brands you might know, some you might not. Another one of mine is called Scotty Vest. This is such a good brand that I've loved to flip over and over again. I've even sold polos in this brand, t-shirts in this brands, upward of over $50 on eBay. But we're going to be looking at the jackets today. This has an insanely good sell-through rate. We have 746 pre-owned Scotty vest jackets listed on eBay. And look at the sales. Not
only sellrough rate, but the average sale price. We have a thousand sold in the last 90 days. Guys, whenever you see over a 100% sell through rate on eBay, you know, even if it's a five to10 to $15 profit, I'm picking that up all the time. So, what we look for on eBay is 100% sellthrough rate items. Where are they? They're few and far between, but it is really important to focus on setting a sell-through rate metric for your business and then going and picking up items that are going to be hitting that or exceeding it. for my in my eBay journey, it was 30% sell through rate and above because I didn't mind holding items um for a year. Um if they're 100% sell through rate, there's a pretty good chance that they're going to sell within 3 months since that rate, the STR is based on a rolling 90-day average. And we're just
getting out of winter, so of course these have a really good sell through rate. They're going to decline in the peak summer, but still it's going to be an amazing pickup. So Scotty Vest is a great brand focus on utility. They have a lot of pockets. They're very minimalist as like the design on the outside. They're not flashy at all, but when you open up the jackets, they have like 15 pockets on the inside. Um, and most I would say sell for over 100. I guess it just depends on size and condition. Um, you could see 200, 150, 154, 150, 147. Um, wow. Scotty vest blazer sold for1 139 133 1451 1501 140 and again in this video we're going to be focusing on all the brands that go over $100. Are you going to find these all the time? No. But it is so important as a reseller when you're at the bins, the
flea markets, yard sales, estate sales to at least be aware of what these brands go for so you can equip yourself with the knowledge to be able to flip these items for crazy money. So, um, Scotty Vest, of course, it's a good one. I would actually pick up most things in this brand. There hasn't been anything in the brand where I'm like, "Yeah, that's terrible." Most things have a pretty decent sell through rate in this brand. Let me show you what the tag looks like. It's going to be pretty easy to pass up from the outside, but on the inside, they always have some kind of branding um on the inner uh neck area, Scotty Vest. So, they don't always look like this, but Scotty Vest, great brand. I would be picking this up every single time. I would even pay upwards of 20, 30, $40 just because that sellth through rate is very strong.
This is like the more common I think more of a modern branding that you would see like on their vests. Scotty vest imprinted RFID travel vests. Even the vests go for about 75 to 120. Just depends on like the style. This one sold Yeah, this one sold for 150. Um, extra large. Um, really good condition, too. So, let me know in the comments. Have you found any of these brands? Cuz they are insane and they're going to make you great ROI while you go out sourcing. So, Scotty Vest is a good one. I personally would pick up anything in that brand. Are you a reseller that loves to go sourcing and loves to shop? Well, right now we are hiring in our wholesale team of over 31 members. We provide you with a brand list of over 300 brands and we are buying all the brands on that list. It's a great opportunity to double
your money. And right now we're helping people pay off their kids student loans, you could check out right here. This lady's been on the team and we've been able to help her make some extra money. So if this sounds something interesting to you and you love to go shopping and you love to source, book a call, click a link down below and we'd love to see if we can be a good fit. The next one is QU. Quu, Caillou, Quu, whatever you want to call it. I call it quu. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a great utility brand as well. military brand meant for hunters, hikers, outdoor enthusiasts. Such a good brand. I've only found a couple pairs in my four years of reselling, but when I have found them, the pants I've listed them for over a hundred and they've sold pretty much within a week. Um, actually ran one on
whatnot, I think last year later in the year, and that's that sold for like 78 bucks, 75 bucks. So, um, it's crazy. The brand is in demand. Uh, QU, let me know if you found it. Um, I'll show you the the tag first, but that's going to be a common indicator on the outside. KUI, um, with this RAM on the outside. So, let's go break down kind of the stats. We got 113 QU pants listed and that's pre-owned. And then we have, how many sold? We have 438 sold. That is such an insane sell through rate, y'all. And look at this. the um the fishing pants or the hunting pants, overalls, coveralls sold for $400. That's insane, y'all. Um again, $3.90. Some waterproof down hunting pants 350, $2.89. Couple pairs for 270. These down pants, 250, 233, 239, 229. Insane. I could show you the ones that I had sold. Um let's see. The ones
that I sold on uh eBay were very similar to this one here. They were cargo um 137 on eBay. I think we sold them for about 70 $75 on whatnot, which I'm happy with. I think I paid five bucks. Um and then again, not a lot of thrift stores know about QU because these were I think five or seven9 at a local Goodwill. Um which is crazy. They'll price up the Levis's at 25 bucks, but they don't know QU. That's an important thing to do as a reseller is always be studying brands because the thrift stores, they're going to be on top of it and they're getting better and better at their research. So, QU, such a good brand. You're going to notice on the outside that's going to be on the outside. Make sure you're checking pockets. Make sure you're not passing this brand up, y'all. That is a good money maker. Is there
a ton out there? No. There's only 120 listed on eBay. But when you do come across it, it's going to be a pickup every single time. I would pay 20, 30, $40 for a pair of QU pants. Such a good one right there. Another one that people might be passing up, and I know the brands are loosely based on more utility uh type of outerw wear, but that's kind of a common style aesthetic. You see trending more and more. People want garments with function and utility um that are more of a minimalist style aesthetic. So, you're going to see this more and more being trending in the year of 2025. So, it's something to pay attention to. Uh, and that's why I kind of wanted to do that breakdown of a few military items. You know, we got qu Scotty vest is a very good utility. And the next one we're going to go over,
you probably already know it, but military items are insane right now. Not just vintage, not just modern day, but the jackets. And the jackets that are military cold weather Gen 3 jackets blow my mind. Blow my mind. They're insane. 133 pre-owned, listed on eBay. And we have 94 sold. So about a 70 80% sellthrough rate. And they sell really well, y'all. 200 bucks. 189 184 168 167 164 150. And they look pretty pretty boring. Like you're going to pass these up. Like there's nothing special on the outside that's going to be like, you know, if you're at the bins and you're going fast, this is a really easy item to miss. The way you're going to be able to tell is on the inner part. Look, this even Oh, I thought that was a hole. But on the inner part, it's going to say official Gen 3, official military, and they're usually downfilled. So, um,
this is going to be something easy to pass up just because it's so kind of plain on the outside. Just make sure you're checking on the inner part of the tag that is a Gen 3 officially licensed military item. And you just you could list it for 100, 120, 150. And the sell through rate's pretty decent. So you can see some of these lower-end ones, 125, 100. Um, just pay attention to what you're going through. I know a lot of us like to go fast when we're sourcing. Sometimes it's worth slowing down because you never know what you're going to find. That's a great item right there. And again, once we start heading out of summer or into summer, the sellrough rate's going to drop again. But, um, I would get it listed because you never know. It's always cold somewhere. So, the next item is Cry. This is absolutely insane. Another military brand. Insane.
I've only found one Cry item in four years, but they were a pair of pants that sold for about $200 that were heavily distressed. Crazy. I don't think I've ever even sold really distressed pair of pants for over 200. It's really difficult to sell distressed items that are um you know, that can go for that much money. Um, you can see 311 listed. Cry pants. They make other things like boots, uh, shirts, sweaters. It's a military brand. Um, so I just went with the pants because that's just what I have found before. But definitely just be on the lookout of in this brand in general. It's such a good brand. 311 listed pre-owned. And then we have how many sold? 684 sold, which is crazy. Um, so 200% sell through rate. This is a brand that really doesn't matter if it's winter, summer, spring, it doesn't matter. Um, this brand is in crazy demand. Like
you could see right here, $3,800, $1,400, $900. Again, comment down below. Have you found this brand before? $675. Cry pants with knee pads. Y'all, this is crazy military gear. Love it. Look at this. This even has Is that have a hole? Oh my goodness. Hole in distress for 575. Wow. Look at that hole right there. Couple holes maybe. I don't know. Bullet holes. I have no idea what's going on there. But Cry Pants. Um these are so good. These are so good. Cry is such a good brand, guys. Like don't miss it. Dry Fry. Dry Fire Cry. Um I'll try to go through maybe a few other tags so you don't miss it. So, here it is. Cry Dry Fire. This looks like it was the pants and the shirt for 5.75. Let's see what else we got. I mean, this is such a good brand. Um, are you going to find it like you
do Lululemon or Nike or Northace? Probably not. But I'm just trying to help the people that are not only just getting started, but for the people that go out sourcing frequently and you maybe don't know this brand, add it to your brands list. Every reseller needs a spreadsheet of a brands list that either new brands you find, um, new brands you learn, um, add it to that list because you can't remember everything. That's the thing, too. Um, so Cry Precision Combat Pants sold for $450. It just blows my mind, but again, these are very high quality, well-made items. Um, so it's not not a huge surprise. Made in USA. It's just important to know what sells well and double down on uh gaining knowledge and learning these brands so when you do find it, you could do a happy dance and party it up. Um, the next one is probably most people know this, but
if you don't, we do come across a lot of Pendleton, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, but if you come across a particular style in Pendleton, and we're talking either the Navajo prints or the Aztec prints, pretty any much pretty much anything in Aztec and Navajo print, regardless of brand, is going to sell really well. But if you find a Pendleton Aztec jacket, you can see there's 1,700 listed um pre-owned on eBay. So, there's a good chance you could find one since there is a lot of avail. And there's 927 sold in the last 90 days, which isn't like amazing, but it's still pretty good. Um, you can see here, $800. Oo, I like that one. 825, 750, 675, 600. I mean, these these look amazing. Like works of art. Like so beautiful. Amazing. Sometimes they have embroideries. Like that is just a piece of art. I mean, that's why it's worth $600. But if
you ever come across anything that looks like this, pick it up. Especially if it's a Pendleton. Um, amazing. So, you want to be on the lookout for anything kind of like a Chief Joseph is a style that model that they have in jackets. Um, you got a like that one's so cool. $464. Um, you got the Aztec here. 430, 419, 425. Let me know. Have you all found anything like this? This is amazing. Such a good brand. This one's really cool. It's like a trench coat. Uh, but anything with this style print is going to be a good one. Pretty good sell-through rate on eBay right now. Definitely don't list these items low. Like if you ever to find any of these items, these are the items if I were to find them, I list them at the top of the market because they are a rare in- demand item. I want to get the
most money possible. Whereas like maybe like a Northace jacket or a Lululemon pair of leggings or a pair of pants. Um that's a very common item. I'm going to list that in the middle of the market. These brands we just went through today, I'm going to be listing them top of the market. I want the most money I can get because the demand is there. So, um, that's kind of what we want to do going forward, at least once a week, bringing you update videos as far as what's going on in the market, you know, um, just to help resellers build that good foundation of knowledge base when it comes to brands um, in in the clothing niche. So, if you guys have questions, let me know and we appreciate you watching and we'll see you in the next video. Have a blessed day.
