they have a new process where you can blink and move your eye and there are no repercussions and it is much safer

Nice!

I thrifted a similar tie (not NWT). About a year later, I walk into an Allen edmonds store to get some edge dressing and they're selling the same tie! Lesson: AE not that great in getting the latest stuff from VV.

Let's face it, this is why we all do what we do. This one got spotted and culled, but that doesn't happen every time. The cash/Viagra/codeine we've found in pockets, the shell Aldens for three bucks, the infamous Gucci croc loafers. If it was easy, everyone would do it. So quit whining about markups and the good old days and go thrift an Omega or some RLPL or some Edward Greens. They're out there.

they are out there... just not in Des Moines! I have to thrift shirts, only because everything else is pretty much shit. When HSM is high end in your city, you've got problems. shog[1].gif

Then wondering why it wont sell for what it did 2-3 years ago. Everything has a shelf-life and so do most brands. There are very few brands / styles that are timeless...

I would post pics of my finds but find the same things so its redundant.

I've come to the realization that the only time I purchase items off of ebay, is when I want something bad and just can't wait to find it in a thrift. Case in point, I bought a pair of BB patchwork madras pants this summer because I couldn't wait to find them in a thrift. I know that one day I WILL find a pair, just like one day I will find something else I've been lusting after. I'm a firm believer that almost anything you've ever wanted, besides cars and such, can be found at a thrift, you just have to be there when it hits the floor.
