The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[impuntura]



PM me if you're interested in some NWT Canali.  I'll take some pictures and grab prices next time I'm out [outlet prices like 75-85% off retail, not thrifted new prices].

IIRC there are some sweaters and suits, but I haven't really bothered trying to buy and sell that for the reasons others have stated here.



Also, total fan of the not-so-subtle Ferrarri shot.  What type?  I feel like they are way more elegant, but, if I'm ever to drop a ludicrous sum on a car, I feel like Lamborghini would be calling me.  I remember lusting after the Diablos or Countachs when I was a kid.  To quote the immortal words of the 21st century philosopher Fetty Wap,

"I f you wanna be somebody you drive a Ferrarri,if you are somebody you drive a Lamborghini"

Sure but solid staples don't fare poorly for me either. As stated previously though, I'm not touching old dated stuff regardless.

Classic

Totoro is one of my favorite animated movies. Watched it over and over as a kid. I actually love all of Miyazaki's films. Here's our son's costume that my wife made last Halloween .

And here is his room. Our neighbor painted these for us.

Because I can't let things go, here are photos of a stapled price tag on the lapel before and immediately after removing. I didn't do anything to try to hide holes.

Maybe your stores use different staples, or you're not being careful enough removing them.

^ Coolest thing ever. Totoro is the best film by Ghibli in my eyes; it captures the era and the Japanese art of film so well.

I keep a small flathead screwdriver on my desk for this exact reason... I've rarely had any issues with visible damage after removing staples.

@pi34 Thank you. Its an F430 Spider. I thrifted it.

I work on it myself so I drive a 911 (that I could claim as half thrifted), but not a patch on your car - that's a lovely f430, and subtle in black.

Nice.

Just saw the store in Oyster Bay bit on your site. Good luck with that! I think they have one or two women's consignment stores that do higher end stuff there. I think they are redoing Snouders [or planning to...I guess it remains to be seen if they guy has any idea what kind of work he got into] which should help the town off the main drag. I don't really drive there that often.

you're from around here?

The women's consignment shops consider Tory Burch as high end lol.

Snouders is a great spot but really that should be a bar if you ask me. You should check out the Oyster Bay Brewing Co, great beer and good vibes.

Saying anything about a Ferrari being "subtle" is tantamount to saying that the Titanic just took on a little water.
