So I said "what the hell" and found out the email address of the guy who donated those dozen Ascot Chang shirts that fit me perfectly. Two days ago sent him a friendly (but carefully written email) saying that if had more shirts, jackets, or shirts that he was planning to donate, please let me know and I'd buy them from him. I told my wife what I'd done and she was Not Too Pleased. (Made a note of that for the future.) This morning I got a short but friendly reply back from the guy: "Hi - yes - funny email. I will  keep your information and let you know if anything comes up.  Happy Holidays."

 

Nataku, thanks for the encouragement. I didn't score an armful of Isaias but nothing embarrassing happened, either. I did get some satisfaction telling my wife, "Hey, I got a nice reply from that guy who donated the shirts", and hearing her shout "NO WAY!"

Rules:
1. Nominate one item per submission. You can do multiple submissions but don't go overboard, we all have lives.
2. Item must have been found AND posted in the thrift bragging thread in 2012.
3. Include your SF username, a brief description, and a link to the brag post.

The judges will pick the top nominations for Find of the Year and put it out to a vote to everyone.

The judges will also be awarding Honorable Mention awards, so don't be afraid to submit. Be creative!

Thanks to Spoo, DM7 and DaveSmith for volunteering to be judges.

edit: there will likely be prizes...



just to be clear: DM7 IS ONE OF THE JUDGES. HE WILL BE SILENTLY JUDGING YOU AND LAUGHING AT YOUR FINDS. BUT HE WILL NOT BE COMPETING WITH YOU GUYS.

Are we talking craziest flips? Or just the sheer quality of an item? I have a submission but I believe it will be trampled by a casual monday DM7 day peepwall[1].gif

i left it open-ended on purpose. flips are good, but so are rare things, so are vintage things, so are staple items in your size that you ended up using all the time.

Not only that, but one of the few really good stores is doing some serious hoarding. Just scraps are hitting the floor. Today I also witnessed a regular customer getting treated very rudely there by whom I believe is the new processing manager and an employee (cracking jokes about them publicly). Employees in general at this store are pretty rude. They don't acknowledge your presence, they push and shove and are just overall unpleasant. It seems that the better the customer you are, the worse you get treated. frown.gif
I did manage to scavenge one nice item from a store I've almost stopped going to.


Is this the same store where the employees pull out stuff for a friend/person paying them to do so?
