The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

true dat^^. I do better that way. I did stick to the 1/10 retail of course .

I like this as a business model. You can return if it does not sell, no capital bound, all turns around in credit card. Kudos

This is true. Myself, I don't really have time to list stuff that I don't think I'll sell and then I'll have to return it. My rule is that if the price is low enough that I'm sure I can at least sell it at the price I paid after fees then I'll usually try it. No risk, only stand to gain. Let me add that high price items will often take more than a month to sell so you need to be able to hold onto it for longer than 30 days which is the average stores return policy. Most stores I buy from, do not take any returns so I need to be sure. Also, not all items need to be 1/10th retail to be winners. Take for example Quindici and Ventecinque ties. These you can sell for close to full retail so the discount doesn't need to be that great.

How often do these stores restock that you have such consistent weeks. Is it a mixture of both thrift/discount stores?

I'd be afraid of having minimal backstock ( but you said it takes a while to sell, so that is backstock in a sense)

Sigh. I bought a sweatshirt for my son and a mediocre house music compilation cd. An hour later I realized the house cd case actually had the best of Whitney Houston (disc 2) inside. I really need a killer score to keep me motivated because striking out (comparatively speaking) is really getting me down.

Don't worry man, I was on a dry streak before the Loro Piana showed up. Keep at it!

Favorite trouser pick up to date. Awesome blue-grey wool tweed with a vibrant olive windowpane. Original retail of $450.

These are going to go perfectly with most of my cold weather attire.

Fahrenheit has absolutely no logic behind it. With Celsius, 0 degrees= water's freezing point and 100 degrees= water's boiling point. With Fahrenheit, it's based on horse blood, brine, ice water, and the human body temperature.

It's pretty easy to map Fahrenheit to ambient temps, though.

0F: Very cold outside.
100F: Very hot outside.

0C: Fairly cold.
100C: Dead.

I managed to get out today for a bit! Pretty stoked, I actually had some good finds. Not pictured: NWT PRL Italy light grey wool trousers in my size, PRL Italy SC in my size.


All N/A for now.


Additionally, the most heartbreaking pass of my entire career:

DB pinstripe orphan, ABSOLUTELY totaled. I mean, shredded. I wonder wtf happened to it. My size, too.

Santa Barbara is cool
And I guess finding Spike Lee edition Jordan 4's in my size for $5.50 is cool...
