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

Well my wife and I vote on my laptop or I phone. So, that could be the same IP. But, it's two different people.

Yeah, but that should be fine. The chances of a family having 15-20 members all gathered in one place at the same time each day is highly unlikely.....unless they are Amish, and I think we can safely rule that out for an internet based competition.

One hour left to vote for Tuesday. You will notice a few changes when you vote now. You may need verify that you are a human being, and you will be unable to see what number vote you were or how many votes we have total.

Vote for Cindergrilla! Only TWO Chances left to vote.

 

[capnwes]

Ok, well, this is all sort of anticlimactic. Let's just assume we had another record breaking day with 140 votes or something. The last vote counted was by my best friend back home Vote # 1181. So that was 85 votes by about 10:15 AM


This is it! The last day! Time to finish this *****!



Vote for Cindergrilla!

 

[Tom Pepper]

Last vote. Good luck, Wes

 

[snackbandit]

Last vote from me. Let's do this!

 

[TexJake]

Voted! Best of luck when the counts are corrected!!

 

[capnwes]

Voted! Best of luck when the counts are corrected!!

If George Dubya can pull off a vote recount victory, the Cap'n sure as hell can.

Who ended up grabbing the "John Lobbes" from Linda? I know it had to be someone here...

She didn't....


The amount of money this women has lost due to poor or misspelled listings must realistically be in the hundreds of thousands. I mean I bought 2 blazers for 100 each separately and sold them for 800 and 750 because she hires illiterates, and I've flipped way more stuff from her, that's just 2 instances.

I got outbid on the last second. Hope it went to regular on SF.

It doesn't fit the stereotype of a 70s tie. I found a bunch of ancient madder and wool ties, clearly from the same donor.



Even better (to me):

Bro, I totally left those like last week! Why did you pick them up? They were made in Mexico and have no real value when it comes to selvedge denim.

Had a good day thrifting with Barrel after a long dry spell. I didn't even have to sacrifice a small animal.

Boom.


We asked for help identifying this skirt. The store was pretty sure it was a "good fake" but Barrel was certain this was just an old tag. Didn't stop them from jacking up the price on it though. I took a gamble that we are right on this. I haven't had a chance to look into it yet though.






I had a pair of Hickey Freeman slacks that the previous owner had torn the hem off one leg. I did my best to fix it, but I have no idea what stitch they used. I used a blanket stitch and it turned out okay. Not identical but good enough? The stitching with the darker grey thread is my work.




Catch you next time guys! Ciao a tutti!
