The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[Thrift Vader]

I definitely had a similar pair to these in the early 90's, and light up LA Gears.

these are an "UBER GRAIL" for sw&d sneakers, along with Ewings, Hakeems, and old school Flights. actually found some L.A.Gears last week in a size 7-8......

TV, you're located in Japan? I bet you see too many dope sneakers in my small size 7.5US, no??

oh yess. we are going be talking a lot more i think........

****, am I in the wrong place? I thought this was the "Official Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the Gathering Discussion Thread"

Are we not discussing DnD here? Damn, I'll just be sitting over here quietly converting Idylls of the Rat King to 5e . . .

New crib?? Kitchen looks nice. Would you be close in proximity to the arlington heights area by any chance? 

Yea dude, kitchen is a major upgrade to say the least, which is good, because I like to cook.

Speaking of the denim contest...

There is a pair of these Rag and Bone raw selvedge jeans at a Nordstrom Rack near my place. Size 32. Original tags are gone and there is the "Altered or Refinished" tag in its place, but looking at them I think they were bought, worn once and returned, inseam still seems to be original.

Marked at $45, will proxy for a beer.

^^^^ With this thread Developing in to a "Hangout". where any thrifted item bought or sold counts, and we are all enjoying the banter and good times? things will go super fast, we might hit it next time around.
bring on the awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Also, if anybody can thrift me a pair of "British Knights" in a size 11US?? I'd be grateful.

More like these....

I had a pair in the 90's but I'm too young to remember. They came out with a reissue not so long ago.

@Tben, Arlington Heights is still pretty far west from me, I'm in the Ravens wood/Lincoln square area now.

NWOT Unbranded Selvedge for the tiny guys (or ladies?)

Am proud to be the first in the new thread to do this:

This is why being a woman pays off pretty well when thrifting in the men's section. People automatically assume I don't know what I'm doing (which is great!)... Also, most people think I need to look everything up on my phone. Lol. Little do they know I'm a worthy adversary.

Here's a brag I can't prove... Lol. It was last year when I was doing my normal thrifting, when I came upon a pair of Zanella's. Crazy insane pair, that they were. But what was inside the pocket was even more insane..... $1,600! They were the newer bills too. I had to take them to the bank to verify if they were real, they were! Got my husband a gun and myself a really dandy coat. That money has been spent but the pants I'll always have for treasured memories.... Or until someone gives me a good deal, lol.

WOW. I found $150 in a suit I bought at an estate sale. But $1600? That's incredible. I knew Zenella's were for pimps. But, it sounds like you found an actual Pimp's pants.

Last week I went to an estate sale and bought a bunch of old linen and cotton handkerchiefs like everyone's Grampa used to carry. They were in a smallish flat box. At the bottom wrapped in a handkerchief were 6 1920's Silver dollars. That was a fun find.

Posted this before but that picture was beyond bad so I thought I would post it again.. so here it is..

Seraphin suede work coat (?), unlined, unstructured, zzzupersmoooth. Never thought I would find stuff like this in my lil Swedish town by Fox news described as basicly run by Shariah courts (which its not..)..

 

[capnwes]

Complete luck, I accidentally saw this after I took the pics. Just happened to shoot the correct paisley. It is only printed in one of them.

 

[ChetB]

if anyone has any suggestions for me to edit into the lead post, please let me know.

Maybe Cheapies highlights from the past few years?

Or the OG post from the first thread.

I agree with Chet - pull the last two years' worth of Cheapies in as a guide and inspiration.

Or D&D tips to steer away the potential competition

 

[My Main Man]

Haven't posted many finds lately and this thread needs as many pics as possibly in its infancy. (these are all up on ebay if anyone wants measurements or anything)






























Two ethrifts that just don't fit right.
