Ah so you're the one who beat me to rest haha! Glad they at least went to someone on here. I made offers on ~5 or 6 other groups too... Condition is alright for half of them, but the blue one that I wanted for myself of course has a pull.

@carreragt7

Not the vintage kind that do so well. It's from 2008-9, before the change to smaller gearing and newer types of components, which might hurt the resell.

 

[the2ndhandman]

Ya sometimes you just gotta roll the dice. You sell enough write it off as a loss.I got the rest of them for about 3.5%. I will always if they can be returned and can inspect them at home.

 

[noob in 89]

Oh, sup. We thrifted a wedding in Saint Lucia...!

More when the data rates are less ****-y.

Thumbs to everyone.

Some stuff from Florida, some stuff from NY...

BMX gurus, is this the Performer I'm looking for? Grabbed it either way, but finding conflicting info on how to read serial numbers and what not. If serial decoding sites are correct it's an 87 (or perhaps 07?). Edit: 2004. Not the Performer I was looking for. Could tell it wasn't 87 but wished it was. Oh well.

No, sadly. Good daily for a city dweller though.


Congrats @Noob !

And Spoo. . That gentleman's bottle operner. . Swag.

 

[eazye]

Congrats Noob!!!!!


Who the **** would pay $600 for a dress from H&M?

 

[thebuddahman]

A lot of 'nearly but not quite worth it' items seen on my lunch break today, including what would've been a POP on vineyard vines shorts (too boring and plain), an Eton shirt (NWOT but a massive tag hole in the back), some meh Polo golf trousers and a gorgeous vintage Aquascutum coloured check wool coat (but they wanted fifty ******* pounds for it).

Spoilered photodump - Recent ties & some belts. The stores around here have been relatively dry, still trying to figure out if I'm just always behind someone. Found a few good items for personal use, but nothing super noteworthy.

Crushing success at an estate sale just now. Deets soon.

 

[sansimeon]

Can anyone id the maker? Thought Florsheim at first but seems to be wrong. Lining has been replaced and covered most of the markings.

One estate sale. $20/item. These are most certainly the polo scarves you're looking for. Those ski bears tho….
I need a little help with the military stuff though. My limited Google makes me think 30s?
@Pierson v Post @Nataku @Orgetorix

I've never seen a polo ostrich before either. Chrome hearts are the "little red riot".
