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

The things some people spend their money on…

These are fake right? In the store right now, but I’m pretty sure these aren’t legit but JUST want to make sure before I walk.

first 3pics are Gucci, last 2 Prada. I thought the “made in China” lining tag would make them fake, however online apparently some real ones have that as well?

thanks!

100% they're fake because why would they put 'Made in Italy' then 'Made in China' too

Went back to that honey hole and found a few more…

Men's Hooded Indie Sweatshirt, XL
Men's Giro Cycling Jersey, L
Women's Woolies 150 1/4 zip, M

And this brand is new to me…Artilect. @Fueco, I think they’re out of Boulder.

that was my thought BUT when I researched on Google for a few minutes, apparently the “made in China” can be a lining tag and still be an authentic Gucci.

A lot of conflicting info when I was reading. I don’t dabble in purses enough to pay a 3rd party, but yeah my instinct told me these didn’t check out - pretty easily.

Thanks!

100% fake because everything about those bags just look like **** lol

Yeah, glad my suspicions were correct.

thanks @flipstah and @Juntao90

Artilect must not do much marketing. I’ve never heard of them.

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 vests! Never seen that before. Annnd, cheaply priced.

So, sure, I figured. Good flips.

And then, while damage checking, $2000 in cash fell out of a trouser pocket.

I didn't know how much it was at first. I just saw the first hundred in a rubber band and snatched it up in a split second.

Checked out with my pulse hammering. Fully expected them to be prop bills.

Got to car, counted them out, shat bricks.

$22 well spent. Praised be the Thrift Gods

I’m still waiting to find something better than used tissues in the pockets of stuff I find.

Wow, sounds like it was a good day, @SomethingsFishy

Recent finds...

Nothing available at the moment.

Justin Boots, kind of an oddball find for me. They're actually pretty nice.

Full hide (green), two 1/2 hides (brown), and some nice wools and a brushed cotton.

NWT wool/silk vest and a vintage overshirt that is unfortunately missing its belt.

Superstars have a bit of yellowing, but fine for outside playing. Adidas Ghosted 3 for my oldest son.

Got these straight from Adidas for €17,50 and I thought was a great price, especially with free shipping and they arrived 15 hours after ordering.
