The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

I'm also thinking that if I needed these, the last place I'd go for a pregnancy test is Goodwill... Seems kind of sketchy to me. Perhaps that's because I just watched an episode of My Name Is Earl where Joy uses a test in the aisle at the store at puts it back on the shelf.

Or maybe that's why they were in the case?

Cool! I'm actually really stoked about the vest I picked up because I never bought any of the gear even though I helped design it back in 2010. They're redesigning again, so I'll keep my eyes open for more...

Ok guys, I have a situation, a member of the forum has scammed my brother out of $2300 (tom ford suit and pants) he had him ship it to a po box and then filed an unauthorized payment with paypal as soon as he received it. i have pms with him directing me to ship it to the po box, but paypal doesnt seem to care, anyone have any ideas?
figured you guys have experience with these kinds of scams through ebay

Really sorry to hear about this and I hope you get it sorted out soon. I know exactly how your brother feels from my Polo Bear Sweater ordeal a couple years ago. I wish him the best of luck getting this sorted out and hope karma bites that scammer hard.

I am so incredibly pissed about this whole thing now! We are like family here, it's like getting robbed by your brother.

Scamming for clothing is absolutely insane - truly a sick sick individual. I just never understand this - if you cannot afford a suit legit then wear one you can afford. No ******* brainer. It is only clothes after all, a Tom Ford suit will not make ********* bigger nor will you proportionately increase babe pickups.

What did end up with all that? I recall someone else bought the relisted sweater, did you chase up on it? I lost faith in humanity the day you posted your bad news...

IIRC, it was $14.99, still in the box looking unworn. Inscription on back to an employee of Standard Oil of California on his 30th anniversary. May 1974.

Wow, stellar find. Congratulations.

Got a pretty cool canvas/leather weekend bag today. No distinguishing manufacturers marks that I could find. Oddly branded for Tony's Pizza Service. My wife, a huge Office Space fan was excited to see TPS on the flap. I figure an engraved brass piece could be attached over the logo.

Let me explain the situation before you judge...

About a week ago, I lost my mbp along with the bag. My key-holder/wallet with my PO Box key (with box # on it) was in it. I didn't
On my mbp desktop, I used stickies application to write down all my bank account number, debit/credit card number, my username/password for a web forum, and my gf's confidential info (SSN, Bank User/PW).

This transaction with Eddie was not the only transaction. There was a transaction in my girlfriend's PayPal account that sent $3500 Instant Payment as gift to someone else and her balance is now being a negative. There was also an attempt to pay for something else, but my card reached the limit. And now I have to dispute every subscription to everything that posted to my account.... those annoying $19.95/$29.95/$39.95 things.

As for the PO Box, as I recalled, the clerk didn't even ask for the ID when retrieving the package. All you need was just a slip and they asked the name on the package.

Lastly, I DO NOT NEED anything I cannot afford.

This is and will be the only explanation I have, even though my lawyer suggested me to stop the communication.

This screams custom handle.

It does indeed.

How many posts do I need to do a custom handle?

Absolutely nothing. Paypal gave me a "pity credit" of $100. I had so much evidence it was painfully obvious that this chick was a scammer. Paypal wouldn't listen at all. Either would eBay. Police (both local and Long Island) said there was nothing they could do. Just had to face the facts that I was screwed and move on. I hope karma bit her **********.

you are so full of ****. this might be the biggest lie i have ever read on the internet. you are either the stupidest person on the face of the planet, or you think we are all drooling morons. paypal won't let you send money if it makes your account go negative, you have to fund it, dumbass. that doesn't even make sense. then to top it off, the "thief" happens to buy a suit in YOUR size, have it shipped to YOUR PO box, and you realize the money is missing THE EXACT SAME DAY THE SUIT GETS DELIVERED

ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME????

oh my god. the audacity. most people, they are crooks, and they steal from you then slink off. yet you are so brazen you actually come back here and act like you are the victim. you are a pathetic excuse for a human being. i hope eddievdr sells me the debt so i can fly to where ever you are and knee cap you personally.

About 99% sure these are Brioni. available

Let me bump that up to 100. Those are Brioni.

This is fake, right? Consignment had two of these suits. Lining and buttons all had the Armani logo all over, but the whole thing just felt cheap and shoddily made to me.

Wow... apart from the usual Armani giveaways, what hit me most is that tag is exactly the same as on a fake Zegna I accidentally bought on eBay a while back (and have since gotten my money back for).

How could he also have not noticed the PM's back and forth between his 'hacker' and Eddie?

And he didn't see the money leave his PP account?

None of that makes sense.
