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

    On a grey and rainy winter's day in the middle of an iso lockdown, I headed to the PO to send a parcel. While I was there, I was told that there was one waiting for me, from Japan. This could only be my long-awaited Covidmas parcel from @Thrift Vader. I raced home (as the law requires me to...

    The Official VirusMas 2020 Thrift/Care Package Exchange Thread

    Went down to the PO today and there was a package waiting for me, postmarked from Japan. This could only be from @Thrift Vader. Very enticing way to brighten up a really dull day. Unboxing post to come, over on the thrift thread.

    I am yet to receive any notification that my order has been dispatched. Have all of them been sent out now? I'm in Australia; can you confirm which carrier you are using, in case it went through to spam?

    Yeah, over and out. Thanks for the value-add.

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

    It should be pretty obvious from the logo shot; if you don't recognise that, then the model number is unlikely to help. I'm not fixated on finding out, just interested, that's all. Some posts are simply not funny, nor original, and it is not the reader's fault if you have a lame sense of humour.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Hi all. I saw these in a thrift shop yesterday. They are a pair of vintage brogues with open channel stitching and a U-shaped series of nails around the heels. Does anybody know the maker of these?

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

    Tags, buttons, not so much. Advertising something as new when it isn't, and has actual flaws, yes.

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

    Yeah, very funny, but I'm actually looking for a serious answer. This is the third site I've tried, and I'm over alleged comedians who don't actually know the answer I'm looking for.

    Does anybody recognise this vintage shoe brand? I'm not having any luck on Google. Neither Terry de Havilland nor Terry Smith seems right.

    Spent quite a lot of time there back in the 2000s, at the Infosys campus. Place was a madhouse every time I went, but I still enjoyed it.

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

    Not a patch on the finds above, but this was a pretty unexpected find in a tiny rural town, inside a dingy cash-only op shop that's only open three days a week. They had another one too, but it was a little frayed. I think that the motif is the Chinese zodiac. (BTW I had to duck out and get $1...

    2020 50 Book Challenge

    As the Spartans put it: "IF". Nothing Dylan ever did changed my life, and I would seriously question any assertion that he changed the world. He does not write literature, and anybody who knows the meaning of the word would not give a literature prize to a songwriter.

    Honestly, do you really think I've not tried that? Try not to make yourself look like too much of a prat.

    Choices are limited here, and I'm not travelling to Melbourne just to buy a pair of pajamas.

    One thing I never find in op shops is decent hi-fi gear; the best I've ever seen in the past is some Sony stuff. When I saw these today I thought they looked pretty promising. Looks like first instincts were good. Oh FFS

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

    Since moving to a regional town, I dropped local pickup. I have now dropped international sales too, as it is just too risky (as you yourself experienced). I don't see me going back to either one.

    Today is "clean the fish tank day", so I'm about as far from SF-approved as it's possible to get. Still, I have become so shameless that I will probably head to Myer later without bothering to change. The Mall is full of bogans anyway, so I should fit right in. :)
