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

    Hello thrift thread. Forgive my long absence, I've been consumed with school and work. However, I couldn't leave you guys out of the loop today... I found two super-vintage Hardy Aimes suits. Not amazing quality, but interesting vintage style and Donegal fabrics... with matching sweater...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    Still lurking, gents. Not gone. Today I come to you with a buyer who urgently needs a place on everybody's block list: 51bluz Messaged me to say that the Tanner Goods satchel I sent her was was fake, and that she wanted a refund. I gave her a detailed explanation of why the satchel was...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    For the blacklist: cozycozy12 bought $500 item, never paid. Sent him a message a few days later and he says he isn't paying because it's too expensive. I figure he needn't trouble the rest of you anymore either.

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

    Hey all. Sorry I've been so quiet lately—missed you lot. I've been lurking, but been so busy I haven't posted. Now that I've finished some projects on my end (getting a mixed-gas decompression dive certification), I'm hoping to post like I used to again. I never really stopped thrifting...

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

    Hey guys. Long time no post. Hope everyone has been staying safe. Like most, my life has been a shitshow for the past 9 months. However, I'm tremendously thankful that my entire family remains safe. Even though we can't be together this year, it's a victory I'll take. I've been living on a...

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

    Yeah, "green" was not the best choice of symbolism ? Oh, also, my e-thrifted Polo Country vest arrived. Frickin amazing. Far more wearable than any of the full coats I've seen. Sadly too big for me, but even having paid up, I'm very confident it was a good buy.

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

    My first return to the (in-person) thrifts in a very, very long time. More-or-less skunked, but I did find this magnificent rage-inducer. I might've grabbed it still, but the leather quality was godawful. Please be careful as you resume your IRL hunt, gents. Masks are mandatory. Protect...

    Quick e-thrift check... Even at $200, leaving this would've been shitballs insane, right? (Don't worry, I bought it)

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    Yet another buyer who doesn't read item descriptions, then bitches when something doesn't fit! ? yacinegherbi I'm taking his return, because I'm done with eBay penalizing me for stupid reasons. He states in his request that he buys lots of Brunello Cucinelli sweaters—best to block him...

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

    Sorry, I know this is a repost, but until I find a helper, I shall keep questing for the dope coat I've tracked down :D. It's a spectacular 6x2 overcoat from a great maker... With a beaver collar. It CANNOT go un-thrifted (and it appears to be my size, which basically doesn't exist!!!) So...

    Thrift brethren near Long Beach, CA: Help a brother out! I've found an awesome E-thrift on an online classifieds board, but the seller appears totally disinterested in shipping the item. If you proxy and ship it to me, I'll give you $50! (Plus whatever it costs to ship) PM me.

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

    Been E-Thrifting like I mean it for the past few weeks. Three spectacular vintage Ralph Lauren pieces—the polo coat is the one I rewove myself. That one ended up being free, because the seller cancelled the whole order because of the holes. (Actually feel bad about that—even with the holes, I...

    Certainly on a heavy Donegal like this, I tend to agree. If it fit me, it would never make it to market. Alas...

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

    To the surprise of nobody, I can confirm that reweaving is hard. These two crude repairs will have to suffice for now. A buyer can get the coat hemmed, or pay for a professional job. Before After ?? That big hole was always going to be really hard for a total amateur to work on. It...

    Still running a Poshmark return request, in case I somehow missed even more damage. If not, the seller still thoroughly deserves the fear of God put in them for this ?

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

    Update: I'm re-weaving it myself. It won't be perfect, but it will be more than good enough to sell and wear. Larger of the two holes is already almost done. Hard work, but I've certainly got the time on my hands rn

    Pics. It's a true polo coat—martingale back and all (single missing button notwithstanding). The holes are on the "inner" flap of the DB, but clearly goddamn enormous. Heartbreaking. we
