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

[TheNeedMachine]

Sneaked out of work (not hard when you work from home) to swing by an estate sale nearby. Grabbed a few things.


Some paint spatter - probably should have passed but it had some older tags in it. Not sure ... @Nataku or anyone with info?












No size or brand tag that I could find:









...with manual and extra NOS head:




The winner of the day. Emeralite 8734.

Awesome...that's my kind of find (or wish it was).

Just catching up on some light reading

I read this one in grad school in a pretty wide-ranging study of jazz writers. Pretty good descriptions of music, and, um, bear sex.

Awesome...that's my kind of find (or wish it was).

...now I need to find some nice metal take up reels to compliment it. The ones on eBay are too damn pricey - more than I paid for the deck!

Last day of the semester today. Now the real work begins.......going through all my backlog.

I've listed 50+ items in the last few weeks. I have 14 more to do tomorrow and my backlog will be officially nonexistent. First time that's ever happened in my five years of thrifting.

That feeling when the coworker you taught to thrift starts texting you pics like this...

...and he's at the store you drove past last night but decided not to stop at :/

Native American theme.

@330CK

Without seeing the actual artwork *ahem* the letters and additional punctuation makes me suspect this is maybe Inuit or some other northwestern indigenous name.

-yuvan ese?

One time I was showing a friend some spots around town and what to look for, when I met up with @theodguy to pass off a Dior tie. Buddy goes into the men's section and immediately finds a Brioni suit. This was before I had ever found a Brioni suit.

 

[silverwarebandit]

Also, speaking of Brioni, found this knock off today. Not a hand stitch to be found.

Ive never seen anything like it before. Has anyone else on here?

 

[double00]

nvm, it's too stupid.
