The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[csoukoulis]

those ghost stories are creepy. made a 200 mile total trip today and ended up with an orvis shirt :/ I was following someone around all day apparently.

 

[IRKSM]

well **** guys my first round of a bunch of **** I sent to spoo is ending tomorrow and it is at like thrift store prices, I might even lose money on a few of them. maybe I should stick to dealing only with people on the thread (my frustration isn't directed at spoo he is a pleasure to work with and is probably the best consigner around, I just guess my items are just not very good...)
but I mean I got like 40349058458 pms on this rag & bone....

Relax man. People wait til the end to bid. Probably won't help your odds much spamming the thrift thread.

nah that makes too much sense
I just been under a **** ton of pressure lately and have to start paying for college next year and so far have only saved up for one semester before I slowly become crushed under crippling debt that will rule my life for the next couple decades

 

[mexicutioner]

if it's any consolation, i'm thinking of putting in a bid on the faconnable, it's just that the BOC is a bit long for my taste (and i think 2 button looks better on me than 3).

hey dude no problem. sorry to derail the thread and be a little ***** I just felt like I needed to vent a little bit.


that stain is either *****, toothpaste, or bleach, I would suggest trying to rub it off with a wet towel if that doesn't work it is probably bleach and the only thing you can do to it is dab it a little with a brown fabric marker

Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you loose. Sometimes, you fall flat on your face and can't get up. Hopefully this isn't the latter. JK! +1 for bid war at the end.

Man, you are gonna make so much money on that PRL hunting jacket. I think the PRL Country might be a precursor to RRL. Not 100% sure though...Also, I think you can get that spot out of suede with a tooth brush and some tooth paste...I've yet to try it but that's what I've heard from a reliable source.

Why not take the fight fire with fire approach? Fight ***** with *****...

+100 on the hunting jacket also I think you are right about rl country but if I remember that particular label is a pass (at least I hope so because I passed on it today...)
oops quoted the wrong thing
also sorry I can't do that I am still 8 years old and haven't hit puberty

... And I found these Ferragamo cap toes in my size. Quality felt decent for a beater pair (and at the price of $4). They are in very good condition minus a pretty obvious gash on a toe.

Spoiler: Any suggestions for minimizing how this shows?

...

You can use droplets of water mixed with wax (Kiwi) polish to build up enough wax to make it almost invisible. It takes a while but I've done it. You can sometimes save some time by applying a LOT of wax and then passing it near a flame source (cigarette lighter) to melt the wax and then buff, buff buff.

This is interesting. Expect a PM.

... I would suggest trying to rub it off with a wet towel ...

That's good advice, I don't care who you are!

Since you are guys are talking about skeet, forgot these...












I'm almost starting to like them.

Oh no, I think it's almost time for an intervention, my friend.

Well, this escalated quickly

Nice! I'll follow along for the fun of it. Congrats on that!

Who is first to start a Klobber appreciation thread?

I'll you you now that I'd subscribe.

Highlights from the past couple weeks: NOS Amazeballs shoes. Never heard of Montilla, but the quality is some of the best I've handled. No size anywhere, so I can only assume bespoke? Pirelli heels

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Great haul overall, but those shoes are amazing!

Ok, got tired of taking pics...this is about 3/4s of it. Sizing deets to follow in the next day or so. Brooks Brothers Italy Linen SC

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Love that one and wish it fit! Expect to make some money if you list it in 6 weeks. I'd also like to thank the person (forgot who it was) that posted the link to the $600 Tom Ford era thong. I opened up ebay to check the price of something in the US and was greeted by "Inspired by your recent views...." and followed by about a dozen men's thongs. That was a pretty great unintentional trolling.
