and the Pièce de résistance as I have been hunting high & low in London for a seersucker suit.

£25 brand new - Jacket fits like a glove, trousers need slightly altering.

Just as a quick tip. The usual course of dealings on the thread is to write "Available" or "Unavailable" when you post the brag for the first time. Then, people often will PM you asking how it should proceed from there. There has even been considerable debate on whether this A / NA method is the right way to handle things, but I think it makes it clear whether the item should even be pursued by anyone or if the finder plans on to keep it. Trades are often the preferred method too, but obviously not everyone has something in your size to be able to trade.

Edit: Everyone please post a list of your most productive stores, in order of production with highlights of the best items, and post all the addresses GO!

My most fruitful spot is conveniently located next to this post office in Grand Cayman. Feel free to go there anytime you want. The sooner the better.

Don't forget, I need a list of every brand ever worth picking up. Could you get that alphabetized and organized by category. I would also like eBay selling price estimates for each item. Thanks.

Made this mistake once (well not crocs or pink...lol). I knew I was in for an interesting trip before I walked into the store. I was all dressed up coming back from my internship and entered a fairly large GW (the ones with tons of "new" dollar store junk in them as well).  I get out of my car and immediately, I stick out. Before I get to the front door some guy comes JETTING out of the store and the manager follows at full-speed. They are at a stand-off and the manager is screaming "Give me back the socks or I will taze you!!!" The guy and him are running around a car like it was from a cartoon and I am just kind of standing there enjoying the show. Finally the thief chucks the pair of socks at the managers face and runs full speed (he was pretty quick) away. I walked into the store to shop like nothing had happened...hahaha.

Who steals socks from Goodwill?
