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

[Ds13]

Been a while since I've posted here as life has gotten quite busy but I wanted to drop in, unfortunately its after frenchy and florent rob Omega and brunello/LP stores respectively. I'm fairly certain most of the older military/workwear stuff is from the same guy who passed away in November (found the obituary via a sewn in tag on a few of the jackets).

and 2 of my favorite furniture finds recently:

set of 5 Herman Miller upholstered DCM chairs



This one wasn't thrift but $200 off of FB marketplace and a personal grail. black and red marble dining table. Heavier than **** but something I've been looking for a long time at an affordable price. All the boutique furniture places have them at $3500+ for less desirable colors. It helped that the guys didn't even list is as a marble dining table. By the time I stumbled across it, it had been listed for 3 months and he was willing to deal to get rid of it

Florent that is an insane amount of insanity. One comment is that that Buzz Rickson looks fake AF

First thrif stop of the year… This is $240 worth of helmets at retail ($4.33 total).

Damn, really? I have no experience with the brand but their tag styles are all over the place and I've found a few items that seemed to come from the same collection (example: www.griled.com/listings/25720710)

Yea i think That tag came up a while back on here, consensus was it was a wannabe brand. Pretty sure the real stuff is Buzz Ricksons not rickson

 

[florent]

Okay then, thank you both.

Haha, is that t-shirt from Goodtime Charlie's? I found that same shirt over the summer. In pretty much the same condition and size. Maybe it's the same shirt?

Sure is! none of my family/friends are bold enough to wear it unfortunately. I found it at the Bloomington GW (I think? was about a month ago). That would be a weird coincidence

 

[Nataku]

Hah, same here. The wife didn't want it in the house. I had found a couple more Good Time Charlie shirts from the same guy. Ended up selling them to a local vintage dealer. My guess is whoever he sold it to ended up in the same situation (wife/gf/whatever said no) and he donated it. Haha

Here's the post where I found it.

Today I sold that Icebreaker 1/4 zip from one of my recent posts.

Sold it to Kevin Murphy, of MST3K fame, voice of Tom Servo...

100% really him. Full name match, lives in MN, his eBay name alludes to his character.

 

[txwoodworker]

Can't keep up w/ posting stuff, but can't stop shopping. Couple good things recently that I took a minute to photograph.
Second time finding the little guy, then found the big one a week later w/ a carrying case that holds 10x D cell batteries.

Found the Strand and Thursday Boot a couple days ago

Then I thrifted a Taycan

Spoiler: SPOILER

JK, THEN I thrifted a Taycan

Spoiler: SPOILER

OK, one more:

Spoiler: SPOILER

REALLY JK, I bought a Taycan w/ mostly thrift money. Also, sold my Model S for more than I paid for it, which counts as a thrift too.
