The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 4088

kop or not? :-/

Yea, that's the best find I think anybody's ever posted. But you know the rules, pics or it didn't happen.

Not.

so the jobs at prada and cucci fell through but I was just informally offered a job at the rl flagship in sf \m/ I guess being super trad pays off. also I have finalized my college plans, due to my parents complete lack of any funds to pay for college my new plan is to go to berkeley city college and get a shitty apartment with my punk friend who will pay his rent through his band and working at ameoba and my genius friend who will go to berkeley and pay his rent by tutoring I will work at RL and continue thrifting while I take only like 1 or 2 classes at a time so I can get guaranteed A's because I already have a bunch of credits from ap's so I only need to take a few classes before I transfer to berkeley and major in business with a social sciences minor \m/ any thrift thread homies in berkeley or oakland?

(I may work at the new gant flagship instead though because I have more connections there and they give you a free head to toe outfit when you are hired...)

Soon, my friend. Still talking her into entering Thrift Store Runway.

Just caught up on the thread - congrats on school!

You have no idea.

Got this this week. Had to shell out $45 but it is absolutely packed with supplies.

Is this EBAY find worth it?

Seller claims wear under the arms (no pics), the RN leads to nothing, it's been 'personalized', and something's going on inside the collar.

I like the color, though.

What's a shirt like this worth?

You gotta ask to see pics of the damage. Otherwise I would pass. Too expensive if it just turns out to be a luxury dust rag.

Thanks.

LOVE this!


Nothing wrong with that at all. Been doing eBay full time since I got laid off this past March. I love it, am making more than I did at work and really is great making your own hours and such. Can't beat it!


Pure Awesome!




Jethro Tull is one of my favorite artists and Songs from the Wood is definitely a must-have of their's. The band went through three big changes in music styles. They started out as a blues-rock band (This Was, Benefit), moved onto progressive rock (Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play) and later transitioned into soft folksy-prog (Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses). I stopped keeping up with them after Stormwatch (1979) but I think they changed again slightly after that one.

Anyway, great find. Give it a good spin if you haven't heard it before.

I see your womens kiton is doing better. :)

Dropped off a backseat full of donations, and used my 20% off coupon to pick up an SF Giants hat (my size!) and the most awesome Hawaiian shirt I've yet thrifted.

It's a dead stock 1960s shirt with buttons made to look like pieces of lava!

Fair enough! I actually was able to search my PMs and find the story...

I did cut across the length of Pennsylvania a few years ago on my way to NYC. It's a much bigger state than it looks on the map. It took us a long time to get back as we had to stop at Penn Sate and Scranton (huge The Office fans). It was funny, no one at the time knew where to tell us where Poor Richard's was or any of the other hot spots. I think they have tours now, but at the time, one woman said "What show? And it's based on Scranton, PA?" I even went to the Lackawanna County sheriffs office/courthouse. The 3 or 4 deputies looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked if they sold anything with their name on it

Congrats! I'm sure it will be more fun this time around, don't let the others make you feel old

Awesome goals....and incredible that you'll make it! Our students have no real idea what many other people pay for higher education. They pay between €0-375 per semester undergrad and post-grad, including medical and law school. It is also available to international students, but I feel they fear foreign abuse and that may be why they don't offer many undergraduate degrees in English. Quite a few post graduate programs are offered in English, but it's fairly limited in bachelor degree programs.

These are neat and I see them nearly every time I go. I've never picked one up simply because I don't know what I'd do with it, but they're interesting!

As advised, I'd probably pass. He took the time to mention them, so I'd guess that they're problems....but it may be worthwhile to ask for more pictures!

What is the story on Hardy Amies? I left a jacket with the tag, but it seemed incredibly well made. I liked the buttonholes on it, but there wasn't much info online. It wasn't my size, so I didn't get it.
