Furniture is in there too, usually after shoes.

Im curious do you all have specific pathways for when you hit a spot?

For instance I typically hit shoes/belts then the suit/blazer/sport coats then pants and if I have time ties and shirts.

Ties/belts, suits/sportcoats, shoes, electronics, cookware, any crystal or home goods that stand out, bags, jeans, shirts then pants

You think AO would give me any freebies being I wear these bad boys daily? Guessing early 60s?

Unfortunately these are all a EU 50 R.

For me, it differs from store to store. Depends on what that store in generally better with. For most, it’s Outerwear > suits and blazers > sweaters > jeans > pants > shirts > records > electronics > furniture > housewares and random.

Who knows! Those are sick too.

@Nataku those Peter Millars do have nice patterns. They seem to do checks in nice combos. I have spotted a couple on the bay.

Quick #onestop this afternoon at the local shelter thrift. Buttersoft leather Bata boots, not worth a whole lot, but gnarly for personal. Thom B. NWT Burberry polo, ScotteVest, and new Oakleys x 8.

Totally depends on how I am feeling.
MOST of the time -> Outerwear, Shoes, Suits, Ties, Pants/ Jeans, Shirts. My reasoning is because I like outerwear and "dress up" clothes best, and I can move through them with a breeze. Especially shoes, I can check out every single shoe by walking past them and know within 3 minutes if anything on the entire rack is worthy (in general) just from appearance (I am sure many of us are like that). Ties are the same. I don't do shirts much these days because every single under 20 flipper always packs those sections looking for that sick vintage shirt to sell. Therefore I dodge generally, I feel it's virtually 0% chance of finding good stuff in shirts these days and take forever to peel through the racks.
Some days I don't feel like doing clothes though, I might start with something different, no real rhyme or reason. These days I consider myself very well versed in many areas, so I let my gut and eyes lead me. If I am moving and see something that piques my interest, I follow my thoughts and check it out.

Has the new rack rushing always been a thing at your guys locations? I assume it always has but the amount of people who do it and the aggression has changed I think. I swear every time an employee is coming up with a new clothing rack…there are four to five people all snatching hands in and rifling through the rack while the employee tries to roll.

It's been quite a while. Popping on here to show my estate sale finds from yesterday. $13 plus tax.

Late 60s Pendleton Falcons stadium blanket with cushion. Incredible.

And this copy of Buckingham Nicks was $3. ....
looks unplayed or played very sparingly. https://www.discogs.com/release/5862935-Buckingham-Nicks-Buckingham-Nicks

This has been going on for years. Rack chasers are the scourge of the thrift stores. It's usually older women who have no idea what they're doing either. Grabbing anything that "remotely" looks like they could make a buck on it. I hate them.
