The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3927

 

Hey, if not, I'll at least get to meet Ashton Kutcher. Maybe he has some Brionis he doesn't want anymore.

My wife was in LA last week, she spotted Bobby Brown.

Also huge shout out to CasarC, I bought 2 ties from him on the cheap and I got a package in the mail today with the two plus one and a sweet bow tie! Thanks buddy!

EZ got the good drnuk face

Killer couch, brah!

dude it's pretty goddamned rare for a used suit to sell on ebay for upwards of $400, irrespective of who the seller is.

i think this thread has inflated everyone's idea of what all these finds are worth in the real world. yeah, the occasional find (see here for examples) ends up going for big bucks on ebay, but by and large, everyone is selling their suits for $200 and under, usually in the $50-100 range. (i've checked). the problem is that dudes come on here and brag "YEAH DUDES, I JUST FLIPPED A CRICKETEER PINSTRIPED ORPHAN FOR $350" but those same guys keep their mouths shut when their BBGF suit ends up selling for $19 (i've checked). this self-selection that happens with the brag posts gives everyone an inflated sense of what things are selling for in the real world.

in the end, this is all just used pieces of wool with some dude's piss stain.

happy new year fellas!

Well said. I've said it here before: we're rag men. And not even new rags either.

Happy New Year all, may you be blessed with Kiton and Loro Piana.

Thanks to everyone here in 2012 who helped me reshape my wardrobe after losing 35 pounds. :)

Happy new year, guys. May your Diors be recent and your jacket be of regular length.

Happy New Year Health Happiness And Lots Of $$$$$$$$$$$$

Happy New Years Everyone!

Haha, very true. The wife and I spotted Barry from Storage Wars cruising through Beverly Hills in a roadster type car. Had a skull cap and those yellow sunglasses. Went by too quick for me to snap a pic.

I did see these two beauties on the street outside our restaurant. Probably nothing to the locals but sure was something to see for a Minnesotan.
