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

YSL still uses that tag? I though they did away with rive gauche a while ago

Am I reading that bottom portion wrong? For some reason I thought it said SR 17 and I read that as ‘summer 17’. Now I’m second-guessing myself since i see it says “SL”.

Also realizing that it’s a suit and not a stand-alone SC. Definitely have to go back on a pants hunt now.

Has anyone seen fake Tumi before? Might have just bought a fake Elias Roll Top. Bought it at the time because the quality looked decent and I didn't think Tumi would have fakes out there. However, it's missing the tracer number and some other things may be off after inspecting. Good thing this particular thrift has a return period if it is fake.

edit: thinking it could be fine if it's the Elias (instead of Luke like I originally thought) after some research, but still not sure

I have a brown 'Tumi' branded shoulder bag I find questionable as well. No ID tags either. The embossed logo isn't as tightly made as I would expect, the strap buckles look cheap.
I posted detailed images of it here with the same question, but no one had a conclusive answer. My enquiry with Tumi CS got no reply.
I have had and sold a genuine Tumi before, and the suspect one looks less perfect. The leather is not obviously fake to me, but it could easily be.

Kansas City vicinity bros: There’s an 80’s Valterra Max Headroom skateboard for $30 on Letgo. Amazing all-over graphics. I was jumping up and down at my food fortune until I realized the app had saved my location from traveling a few months ago.

Just one find today, but I'm happy with it. This will come in handy for my attempt to digitize some old family slides. $6.49 and an extra 25% off.

Huh I’m not sure how to read a date from those tags but I thought Hedi got rid of the Y in YSL a few years back. Not sure if they started it back up since he left. May be someone else would know

First ever vintage furniture cop. Surfboard coffee table about 60 inches long. Pretty sure not true thrift at 100 bucks but got the seller to drive me, my gf, and the table home for free since I didn't have my car so I'll call it a good deal. Anyone have any idea about what kind of wood it is?



Also went to the first ever housing works best of fall event. Some nice stuff but probably equal to ebay prices post flip. Saw some Alias lalegarra chairs I'd consider if they drop another 50 percent.

Just one store today, 2 pickups. Thanks for the inspiration @SpooPoker!

BB is Lardini (which is why I grabbed that label)

Just thrifted this Apple A1267 display today for $49.99. Pairs up nicely with the other gear, all thrifted within the last couple of months except the MacBook Pro.
JVC SP-FSSD990 speakers with beautiful cherrywood cabinets $6.99 pair
JVC FS-1000 CD Player/Tuner/Aux/Amp $12.99
Apple Bluetooth mouse $3.99
Bamboo Pad by Wacom $5.99
Not shown: Boston Acoustics powered subwoofer $14.99
The Yamaha YSP-4000 Soundbar I had on my desk (earlier post - paid $25 for it) was overwhelming the space, so I sold it on eBay for $175 to a local buyer in two days. Much rather have the monitor in here anyway. The JVC amp had the Steppenwolf soundtrack to this video loud enough at level 3 to get a firm request from my wife to turn it down, so I think it'll do!

You sure that's real wood? It's definitely not solid wood, maybe veneer, but looks more like Formica to me. Would need a close up to say for sure.

> Nataku... is that the Minolta that takes medium format film? If so, nice catch!
