The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

This thread was so hard to keep up with while I was in LA...so much so that I didn't

I have a lot of finds from awhile back that I haven't shared due to moving and all, but I found this today in my first Goodwill stop in ages. Pretty major rare grail find for me, and staying so hard in my closet it'll make your head spin!

I have not read anything since page 394 (in 100-post view) so I have no idea what the current topic of conversation is, but I trust this will be relevant.

Here's my best thrift find, a Brooks Brothers suede jacket. It was a bit more than regular thrift prices, but I should be able to double my investment at least (available). It's made in China but well made and seems unworn. I'd probably keep it if it fit me, but it fits more like a 44. 

I am glad to see that you picked that one up....I saw it and thought it was a really nice piece. Did you see the Harris Tweed overcoat they also had or was that gone by now?

Has anyone in the ATL area shopped at the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville?  Their holiday sale runs through tomorrow and wondering if it's worth making the trip considering it's about 90 minutes one-way, and keeping in mind most of what I purchased would be with the intent to flip - assuming any amazing bargains are to be had.  Only thing I need for myself are a couple pairs of Adidas Samba's and no reason to go that far for them.  I've never been impressed with outlet mall prices but perhaps this place is better, and / or it's worth going when there's a sale.  Grazie.

YES! you will love it, i shop there quite often

Yeah Netjets - owned by Warren Buffet - offers fractional ownership and rentals of private jets

When you hear rappers talking about "flying G5" this refers to a Gulfstream V - likely a NetJet

FYI

Pleasant little e-thrift purchase: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140785829626?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_959 (got my eBay bucks coupon today, so obv had to blow it immediately)

Okay thank you for the input - I'll pencil it in (the rare opportunity to thrift on a weekday might sidetrack me tho).

I found one once at a Will that routinely prices things waaaay up. But it had slipped the net. And was cheeeeap. But I wasn't a fan of the jet logo and needed the cash. Easy flip for a massive profit. Early taste of the candy. Wish I could find one without the jet.
Edit: I should add: that's an awesome tie and an awesome find. I founf mine before I knew exactly what LP was, but knew instantly it was awesome. I was really conflicted about parting with it but, in the end, the need for cashish won. Congrats, wgp.

I saw that there was some talk about this a while ago. I just sold a pair of shoes, and I looked up the address because I was curious. It's a mail forwarding service. If I ship it there and they sign for the shoes and forward the package, the buyer is pretty much SOL against claims at that point or am I actually opening myself up to more potential trouble?

 

[frenchytoo]

You should be able to get around a grand for that Altman,nice find.but art is a really hard sell.

I believe the "HF" on the metal hardware actually refers to the maker of the hardware, not Hickey Freeman.

Nice find on the art!
