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

[acconrad]

Triple pop situation with two possible thread firsts? I don't know if there are any other Simon Crompton readers here but I only knew about these two UK brands from his blog.

Sounds messed but yes this is the first time I've ever found miusa reverse weave in the thrift. Do you guys know if this is some kind of reissue? The tag looks so fresh I'm not sure if it's actual vintage 80s.

Rubato at a thrift store. Now I've seen everything.

Leaving behind N&F's?!?!

Yeah, I know, but spread the love? I mostly sell locally. Clothes don't flip for much. Even in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I wouldn't get much more than $35-$40 at best. I just have an aversion to ebay. I'm more of a you come, you see it, you give me cash and you F off on your merry way kinda guy.

I did flip my $2 Tart Optical FDR for $150 locally. Could have gotten more on ebay, but the shrinkage on those arms was intense. It would have been an ebay dispute for sure.

To my Northeast brethren, the Armani outlet in Clinton CT is apparently a close out store for all their others. Prices are regularly 80% off for Giorgio & Emporio, but they seem to be doing an extra 50% off on top of that, not sure for how long tho. Discount amounts to just the right amount to qualify for the 90% rule. Some of the Giorgio pieces are scrumptious…

<--- regularly leaves N&F denim behind

Also, thread is absolutely on fire!

I leave N&F behind. Mostly because they shrunk, hence it got donated.

Apologies for the lazy Sunday morning pics...

Went looking for an extended keyboard because my the space bar is dying on my Mac keyboard.

Not one keyboard to be found, but...

Monster Power HTS-5100 for $40. This one will replace my HTS-1600 (paid $20 years ago) which doesn't have unswitched inputs.

Kenwood KM-897. $24.99. Not a big deal, maybe worth $100... but using it as a back up until I get my mcintosh MC60 tube amps up and running again.

Seemingly brand new naked and famous wierd guy selvedge for $10. There were 3 more pairs that have maybe been worn once, but i already have way too much denim as it is!

Been awhile since I found a watch .

^ Looks like someone has been refinishing some furniture. I'd guess by the color that it's something MCM Teak? Golden colored stain?

No acid ,I was testing gold on the weekend.

Ahh. Reminded me of my hands when I build furniture on the weekends.

Watch is legit ,122 diamonds total .
That was the main course .
This was the appetizer ,I watched two people look at it and put it away because it was Made In The USA and LV only makes stuff n france according to them .
