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

I found $65 in a Zegna suit several years ago and for months I had to check all the pockets In every suit I looked at. Never found more than a quarter since.

This was in the lower extra inside pocket ,for business cards I think.

Finding things in the pockets is one of my favorite parts of this game. Condoms, candy wrappers, receipts from gas stations, they're all little reminders that a human being owned the piece before we did. And occasionally, they leave you a little gift like that. Some of the restaurant bills I've seen in the pockets though.... Wining and dining can REALLY add up.

Stoked to run into this, and the price was more than right. Electronics are fine, and I've already ordered the replacements for the dried-out belts. When I began working at the BBC in 1980 I was cutting 1/4-inch tape with razor blades (talk about obsolete skill sets), but switched to a Walkman Pro that I still have, along with my original Uher 4400 Report portable reel-to-reel. I will never sell those. But I have quite a bit of recorded material on cassette that I need to digitize, and this will do a handy job once the belts are in. These were great, stable units in their day with above-average recording options.

The only things I ever found were Cialis and Viagra (same pocket).

Two pills, more thrills.

I found two crispy 100s in the Brioni thriftening which was icing on the cake, it was the cheapest store in town, some of those brioni jackets were $0.99 and the most expensive suits weren’t priced so the manager came to price them and said “ oh these are nice, is $7.99 ok?”

Paging @Dirt

@eddiegreen wow, minty looking pair of buckle backs. Unfortunately, I don’t know much at all about Levi’s Vintage Clothing, other than I think it started around 1999-ish. Very cool find and also hello to the forum! Been quite a while. Gotta post some pics so you guys can see I haven’t been slacking too hard

 

[TheoLincoln]

I’ve been lurking for too long, I do this full time. These are the finds at the second store, battling out with 4 other ppl. I passed up on a gitman for $14

Fun find - 80s UK surf competition tee

 

[mco543]

Only thing I ever found was 2 very very old ziplock bags with cocaine residue in an equally as old Missoni jacket. It was from the 80’s so in my head I pictured the guy going to Studio 54 or some ****.

 

[eddiegreen]

@Dirt Thanks for looking, they went pretty quickly for $150
@txwoodworker yeezys look fake to me
