Cucci is a first for me! Cool MCM chair and some other nice vintage. Hard to find my way to the thrifts with all of the smoke in town. Unfortunately the bike jersey is too small for me or I'd keep it.

Check the pants as I just passed a pair with holes in the back.

This so cool. I'd love to know the story behind these. If some 10 year old wore them to school, I bet they had a rough day ahead.

Can I get a legit check ?

Black plaid tie missing main label but it’s Burberry

Found a few t-shirts today. A good portion appear to be deadstock.

 

[Thrift Vader]

Can't remember ever being so jealous.


Happy to purchase some if available.

Sort of an off-beat question: why do so many people give away perfectly good books? I routinely find works from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century in perfect condition - absolutely invaluable volumes! The kind of books that are essential to any good library or liberal education.

I haven't ever found an antiquarian book at a thrift store. And I've tried for years to build such a library. Thrifting is a regional activity. I can imagine that someone living near Cambridge might thrift books regularly. Someone in Detroit might thrift soul records.

But the answer to the question: "Why do people give away X" is almost always because they died or downsized and they can't take it with them.

Somewhere I’ve got a sweater version of one of those 20/25 year shirts. And yet again, another amazing haul brought to you by @Nataku . Haha. Keep em coming!

Han Solo, duh.

I suppose it was rather rhetorical. I cannot fathom giving away my books - but I can understand wanting them at least to find a new home if no one wants them/can't house them anymore.

I'll buy any that I can get my hands on, as long as I think they're worth having in my library. I bought a poetry book in a sale once from the 1740s...it was around for the Jacobite Rebellions, possibly the Battle of Culloden itself. Ridiculous.

When I was in my prime,I'm taking eurodouche to the max early 90s,my crew knew that I'm not available Friday nights before 11 because i had to finish that weeks episode (came on at 10 on the Buffalo station )
They always busted my balls and called me a nerd ,used to sit there with my gel on and my super tight vnecks and Parasuco jeans on ready to go at 11:01.
Sometimes they showed up early and had to wait in the driveway till I finished .
