    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    This kinda belongs in the eBay thread, but for now: one of the more important elements of good photography lighting is what's called the CRI, or "color rendering index" of the lights themselves. Back in the day, it took a while for me to figure this out, as my early attempts to use nice, cool...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Dayum, not so sure about following that monster haul from Mr Wingtip, but hey, life goes on. My inventory acquisition is very patchy atm, as it's hit triple digits in Phx so my visits to auctions down there are now suspended until I acquire a cooling vest. I have loaded too many trailers with...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Can't help you with the model. 20 years ago I knew them all because they didn't have many, but they've got dozens now, and I don't think I've kopped any since I left New England a decade ago. Super-rare here. As regards keep or flip, it all comes down to what you need more: a few hundred...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Well, you might be crazy, but not because of that. I think some people are just that way. For me, there just came a time when something changed. I have no idea what it was, and heck, I wore t-shirts like everyone else as a teenager. But it started with me grabbing at collars, trying to get them...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Yes, guilty as charged, lol. Posted this many, many years ago, but will repeat for the newer folks: when I lived in New England, I was always on the search for the perfect winter sweater, and I found it in the form of Loro Piana's thick cotton crew neck. I can't wear wool or cashmere, as I am...

    Papillon is/was a store in NJ somewhere (Hackensack?) that like Courtoue, Bernini, The Clotherie, Louis Boston and others got Italian designers to private-label/white label their products with the haberdasher's name/logo. A pretty common finding. So yeah, it's a private-label Brioni for the...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Haven't been posting a lot of finds lately, as I've been temporarily focused elsewhere (the flipper house). However, I got out yesterday, and glad I did. Dead bird, Kühl. Pretty foddery, but a nice HT. I don't normally kop Boss, but I make an exception for recent/current skinny fit stuff, as...

    LOL Freak Brothers! Freewheelin' Franklin's motto became mine for life: "Nothing is important enough to bother me". :cool: Along with Alfred E. Neuman's "What, me worry?" And of course, Franklin's famous: "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times...

    Live. It still blows my mind that people actually donate these. Sixteen bucks after old fart discount. Filson 1442N Mile Marker cover cloth waxed cotton jacket. Yeah. Made my day.

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Oh man, that's a fantastic find! Can't wait to see how it looks. Might take a lot of work to restore, but it could be well worth it. They were great bikes in their day. I had a Laverda Jota for a short while back in Scotland in the 70s. Gobs of power for that era, but it was an odd bike. It was...
