The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3735

Cheers to that. It was a pleasure working with you, easy communications, fast payment and straight up about everything. I look forward to working with you, as well as talking to you.


I was watching that and something made me question how legit the seller was lol.

Some solid pick ups:

Schott suede bomber.
Paul Stuart, navy grenadine tie
YSL Rive Gauche chinos
Brioni shirt
Rag & Bone club collared shirt
Gap selvedge, from their legendary '09 line with the Japanese denim
A random tweed from Scotland that's supposed to be better than Donegal and Harris.
Borrelli shirt. Anyone sized 18?

I know the settings on this make it look way wack but I tried to make it show the actual colors of the clothing

everything thrift/traded/ebayed except the lands end vest I bought on deep discount a couple years ago for like ten bucks

h&m sweater polo ocbd apc jeans no name belt j crew loafers casio diver watch

 

 

 

This should really go into the ebay question/comment thread.....BUT interesting coming from that seller with such high feedback....at least he has a return policy. Bummer though!

Could it have been an honest mistake? How much Kiton for women is floating around the 'bay?

Clearly a seller to add to the eBay banned list.

Seller either flipped the pic or took the picture in a mirror...either way an experienced seller should know the difference between a jacket for a man or a woman.

A good amount of women's Kiton out there--it doesn't sell for much.

I could understand it being a simple mistake if the pictures were not flipped. Like Hmmurdock says, it was either intentionally flipped or photos taken in a mirror. Either of those reasons still makes the seller kind of a moron.

And sorry, Brian. This is the only thread I post in anymore, and I forget there are other threads dedicated to this sort of thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding The Walking Dead, since I've read most of the comics, I already know what's going to happen in the show. I'm still very addicted to the show. I just don't like how "human" they are making the Governor seems...He's pure evil in the comics!

 

 

Ouch! I hope you will be compensated with a few Kitons or Shells.

 

 

Can you return it?

 

My man, I dig!

I don't want to disagree....but unless the seller relocated the breast pocket for his photo, the image was not flipped, just buttoned all the way up. Since it is buttoned from the opposite side, it naturally appears to be lying there as an unbuttoned men's jacket. Still, the seller should take full responsibility for the mistake, whether intentional or accidental.

Ah, you are correct. I suppose it could have been an accident. I'm more angry because this is the second or third time this week I've bought something on eBay that was significantly different than advertised.

Casual Monday thrift fit.

also regarding comics is there anyone here into them at all? Most of my friends are really nerdy but they still don't read comics, they read manga instead of good old fashioned american ones hrumph.

2 store. 5 finds. All 9 out of 10 condition or better.

L to R:
Pristine J Press Pressidential sport coat in a check tweed, 3 roll 2, single vent, 41R/S.
Tom James Royal Classic dated 2008, slim cut, dual vent, flat front, crimson paisley lining, ~41S
Antonio Fusco navy blue chalk stripe flannel, dual vent. Thought I recognized the tag, and quality is there (e.g., hand sewn lapel flap; vent flap strap). 42R with Michael Strahan shoulders. May be a return candidate.
PRL USA gray nailhead, single breast, 2 button. 42R.
Pristine J Press charcoal flannel, 3 roll 2, single breast, flat front trou. 40R/S



The one thing that pisses me off is I also found a vintage Barney's house brand 100% wool paisley tie. Not knit. Woven. Ancient madder colors, too. It was really cool. But I took the suits on hangers, and forgot it was mixed in. I think I must have dropped it. Hopefully I dropped it in the store, and not the parking lot. I doubt they'll let me take it without paying again, which will mean I'll have to decide whether it's worth DOUBLE the already high purchase price....

Edit:
Oh, also, here are those straight ties I bragged about the other day sans pics. Aren't they awesome? I know someone wants these at cost plus shipping plus a few bucks for beer money.


Barrel: Jacket fits awesome!

330: Dat sux.

Agree. I've read the whole series and I sort of lost interest in the TV series. IMO the comics are better and way more nuanced.

I love comics. I read a couple series but am more into graphic novels. Check out the Richard Stark Parker series by Darwyn Cooke. I also really liked a series from Europe called Largo Winch - kind of like Tintin for grown ups (not that Tintin isn't for grown ups). ; )
