The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

^^^ probably.

Louder is better.

Size small, though. My impression is that it's mostly fat old men who wear these things.

Hit a few stores and didn't find anything worthwhile. I went to the last store which has a small clothing selection, but lots of interesting home items and is about the most well put together charity shop I've seen. They normally have ties, but I hadn't seen any ties for the past month or so. I finally asked them and 5 minutes later the woman came back with a huge tub of ties. I can't believe the enjoyment I got going through a box of unsorted ties. Anyway, almost all of them were recent, clean and silk. I only pulled out three to take home, but it was still fun.

In consignment store now. Is this RG worth picking up at $29?

Yes, I predict $60+ for it.

I agree with the guy above I feel like the XL or larger do way better than anything else. GOOD LUCK!

I like that Red Striped one, good finds Hansderhund

 

[dustinmyself]

if it's any help, I have a relatively plain one (its only striped) and a size small with 18 watches active right now. however, it's only at 10.50.

i picked it up for 3.99

Thanks, it was one of the favorites as well!

Recent finds, most likely not available, need that dolla right now.

A cool random mix of stuff, some found in LA, a few in OC.

I forget if I posted this one before. Thick/heavy as hell, actually justifies the price, and was left hanging on the recently put out racks by the store's vultures.



Ok, little guys in cold weather climates, I'd be up for a trade on this if you guys have anything my size. I would be rocking the **** out of this today if it were my size.


The one we're... I usually hesitate/hate to use NWOT, but if a shirt ever was, this has to be. Fabric/tags are crisp, whites are bright white, the way the sleeves had been rolled, I feel like it was on a mannequin somewhere.



Only the second buy-able Eton I've found in the wild... Clubby collar, sized 15 3/4...Wtf?


This I was surprised to find in the shop that I did, there was a green striped mate I had to sadly leave. As expected, the fabric feels a-mazing.


Wish they'd show up better, so colorful, and I love that the collar button is slightly bigger/thinner and signed.



A first for me, this one made it to the racks, and I'm so, so, so, stoked to say fits me pretty much perfectly.

Same claw stitching on the buttons as the Borrelli. Hmm...

Found this guy at the same place, same day. Versatile or burn it with fire? Haha... Photo doesn't do the hues justice.


Feels pretty sexy and the colors are riiiiich.

Then just the other day, I found this at my local shop. Wasn't even going to thrift that day, had a date and thought ok I'm going to go in for 5 minutes. Needs some tlc (a good cleaning/pressing, a few cuff buttons, etc) but, well...


I didn't even see the collar in store.

Picky Picky, and what's this... un-opened main button holes... On porpoise.


Sick cuffs, 3 button with two working... One cuff has buttons 2 and 3, the other 1 and 3... Need some mates.


Obey


Last but not least. Damn how'd I only get the edge of the tag...

Mmm hmm.
Confirms that the regular vultures at the store know next to nothing, which explains how I find anything there considering they sit and wait for every new rack/cart to come out. I'm sure the **** eating grin on my face was undeniable, as were my saucer sized eyes.

Dude, this will net you some bucks. So ugly = So money.
I've currently got this one up to test the waters since I haven't sold in a while... It has 182 views and 28 watchers... Skeeeeeeeeet. Hoping there's a bidding war at the end, but it's now at its reserve.

Evil Abed: Nice jacket. Who is the maker? Boglioli?

$$$ Easy $$$$

Speaking of Boglioli, this certainly isn't the deal of the century, but if anyone is interested (size 52), I'd proxy. Not sure what cotton jackets go for in the spring, but I'd grab this if it were my size:

Oh, normal disclaimer: NOT MINE

Maybe there's a small guy who want sot get in on the action!

Maybe you want to consider a BIN at somewhere a little north of $100?

It's amazing seeing what people go nutz for on Ebay...

I posted my old(ish) Feathered Friends down park and pants (bought in 2003, haven't worn in 4+ years).

180+ views in 25 hours before I accepted an offer.

The Merrell Trail Gloves I posted have 80+ views, 13 watchers, 1 bid and end tomorrow evening.

In my experience, outdoors sporting clothing and equipment and cycling stuff sell better than anything else. The trick is selling the good stuff that command premium prices...
