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

[My Main Man]

When we redo our kitchen someday, gas stove + electric oven is the dream. I had no idea how much better an electric oven was until I bought a house with one.

Currently have gas stove (love) and gas oven (hate). My old electric oven would cook a 18 min bake-time frozen pizza in 4 minutes flat. I'm not trying to wait up all night for that Digiorno to cook lol

Our House has Gas Stove & Oven.
They will be the oldest things in our next house.

Could be a regulator problem. Our first gas oven took double times on everything, and took about 30 minutes to preheat. We gave it away to my Brother in law when we got our gas convection oven. A few weeks later, he replaced the regulator on it and it's been fine since.

50 percent off sale this weekend...

and that’s not everything. I’ve bought 40 new hangers and will likely need 20 more.

Some highlights... a plethora of Polo (yummy B3 jacket)

A bunch of Brooks Brothers

A handful of Hugo

A gaggle of Gant and golf-wear

Assorted sweaters (clockwise from bottom left: SuitSupply WoolCashmere cable knit, Faconnable zip-neck, vintage Lyle & Scott, Lord & Taylor Cashmere, LL Bean lambswool cable knit, Baracuta mock turtleneck, Barbour, Perlis, Harry Rosen 100% Alpaca, and finally a Niffi wool shooting sweater with a pheasant embroidered on the chest)

 

[gorebug]

Some suits and sport coats

was able to find a few shirts as well

And with my teenage son in attendance we had to check the athletic wear as well.

Plus some retro jackets (the Fila coat was the most expensive item of the weekend, $14 ... Canadian).

Now i just need to figure out how to get an eBay store set-up, lol.

Would you guys buy this for 18 bucks ?
Cashemere ,has at least 6 holes in it.mind you they are small.

 

[BlackChiney8]

@impuntura I personally wouldn't but context is everything. Since you thrift and sell...you could still profit off of that when the listing specifies the level of damage and it's documented properly. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would still accept defects of that nature but depending on how visible and the price they pay.

I'd grab if the buttons were worth anything on their own
IMO you'd be hardpressed to sell a standard black blazer with holes, even if it is RLPL

Is it always a fail to leave behind Bausch and Lomb Ray Bans? I found a pair of the Wayfarer in my local thrift and they were 25$, but the condition was piss poor. Frame scratched all up and hinges felt degraded. I do think that the market for them is still around $100-200 I assume.

In our main kitchen, we have a gas stove/oven. In the second kitchen, it's all electric. I do 90% of my cooking on the gas combo. I like the immediate heat control that I have with gas.
