The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[double00]

@Reosymes @double00 , why are the below users able to post "Available" freely? I'm sure I could find hundreds of other examples from this thread.

My items also came from eThrifts (ebay, etc.) so what difference does it make if I've owned them for awhile and am now posting?

as @Reosymes pointed out anybody is free to do as they please.

there's a flow to this thread. if you don't know the difference between dropping "available" on a honest-to-goodness thrift

versus

spamming your been had tie collection (really, 8 giant photos for a PRL navy dots? - i think we all get the point amigo) maybe reading the thread from the beginning will help you to understand what this is all about.

but it's cool. this is a buyer beware world and it's easy enough for me the make the adjustment. peace!

they say no good deed goes unpunished...

Holy crap that's gorgeous.

Isn't it?! I didn't even pretend to myself that I was going to sell it...straight to the tie closet!

 

[Jompso]

@jrd617 as clearly stated as thread rules, you need to earn the right to openly market your goods as available, this isn't the B&S forum. You put in the work and you contribute here with it, eventually you'll have the right to freely do so. But we aint seen **** and you haven't contributed anything except extremely large and annoying pictures of extremely average ties.....So what exact good deed are you getting punished for?

 

[txwoodworker]

Looks like I was at that store too early in the day yesterday - those HF suits weren't out yet.

Did grab a few things from that big dude's donation.
and a pair of NHT 2.1 towers with matching center channel for $15 all in.

Oh ****, meant to comment on this pre-derail. That's the **** right there. Finding great audio stuff at thrift prices (I'm looking at you @330CK Magnepans, tired of those yet?) is so ******* great.

Just when I thought estate sale season was over....

Those towers are gorgeous. $15 for those and the center channel?? Wow. How do they sound? I've always been curious about NHT.

Pretty neutral to my ears. I pushed them last night and there was little to no distortion at either end. Stoked on the find.

I think it was you that said you like the look of the vintage chrome faced components, but not so much vintage speakers. I agree - these look great and have a relatively small footprint for a floor stander.

This hurts since I know we are sort of in the same area. Good stuff!

Pretty sure @OolongT has the shoes that the guy wore with this belt.

 

[Guitar Preacher]

I never go out on saturdays,but,well

These I paid up for ($40 a piece) and am extremely happy to own. I've seen others find recent EZ stuff and it was at the top of the list for myself. I'm guessing the darker jacket is an orphan?

One of the snaps pulled through the fabric on this but should be fixable. First time handling something from this brand I like it

 

[Shanejosephxxx]

Skeet and a silk knit. Waiting for tomorrow to do a longer day.

If this still has the size & content label it will say at the bottom left whether suit or jacket on the newer Zenga labels. Like below, the left is a suit jacket barely see "Suit" the right a cashmere jacket.

 

[Jompso]

Definitely not an orphan. Nice pick ups, that cashmere street jacket is niiiice....but as I said earlier, you can tell here that this is a blazer due to a bold fabric texture, in this case a thicker twill weave. Straight sport jacket. They do make the traveller micronsphere fabric as an 80/20 wool silk blend and have made suits out of it, but this is also their ten pocket model, so this is a travel jacket. Plus the bottom of every Zegna tag will say either Suit or Jacket and you'll be able to tell right there what you have.

First day in Chicago with my girlfriend. @silverwarebandit and @eazye were kind enough to point me in the direction of a few nice shops in my area. So we decided to stop at a consignment store, I didn't find anything for myself but my girlfriend made a killing. The best of which is:

Fits her perfectly and was very underpriced.

She was floored when I gave her an estimate on the retail.
