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

[Fueco]

So what price tag did they honor, $3.00 or $8.00?

That thing would look great after a full re-dye and conditioning.

That’s funny. I didn’t even notice the $8 sticker, and neither did the cashier.

I always check the sporting goods area as you never know what you might find...the Spalding J5V is the Canadian equivalent (up till 96 when they changed to a Wilson ball) of The Duke used by the NFL...they were all handmade in a labor intensive process in Canada...$9.99! VV..Stamped 86..

mint..sat on on shelf for 36 years.

Holy hell. Can I just publicly tell y’all how much I appreciate every single one of you? Even Mr Ugly Toes. I can pop into this thread any time and see relatively respectful adult conversation with people willing to provide insight and knowledge into some pretty obscure stuff at times. It’s much appreciated. If y’all are ever curious to what a site run by a bunch of manchildren looks like, pop on over to the BMXmuseummmm and you’ll instantly feel like Einstein trying to have an adult conversation with a 2 year old mid tantrum. Only redeeming qualities are you get to see some pretty cool custom bikes and some gifs and memes of beautiful women competing for the most scantily dressed award.

This jacket is so nice that I think I'll keep it. Great leather, high armholes, unlined, the works.

NWOB from a seasonal store, love the color.

I was really excited to find these ancient decorations, no idea when the last time they could have been made in Austria. Really vibrant colors. I noticed the flame resistant stamp and it occurred to me that they could be asbestos. No idea.

This first group is from a guy I know, not thrifted. He gets testers from a perfumery that gives him the old bottles and he hates dealing with selling. He calls me and I drop by and buy them. He cuts me a deal and I walk away happy.

Label came off, but this is Balmain's Ambre Gris:

In love with this:

Thrifted these:

I've had Cigar (Remy Latour) for a good 20 years, was always a cheap favorite.

Only a 4ml sample, but I think that Tom Ford is discontinued.

anybody ever try Facebook marketplace? seems like it's a waste of time for me from my experience.

Craigslist still works decently enough. but looking for another avenues. is ebay still king? i just don't like the "the customer is always right" mentality if the platform.

I use marketplace and find it pretty good.

I use marketplace and find it pretty good.

is it more of a local / regional thing ? or are you shipping your fb sales .

i don't use fb ( never have ) but i could see it being more regional / pickup based
