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

[Sleeves345]

As a new thrifter and Chicago resident, may I ask where you left it?

Also, as a new thrifter, I'm wondering how you all price your finds. For instance, I picked up some black Japanese APC NS in sz 34 and am wondering whether I've priced them properly. They're more or less brand new, though I believe they may have been hemmed. What about a NWOT Barneys belt in sz 30?

Thanks in advance for teaching a young grasshopper...

Also a noob, but I generally look at similar items on eBay and filter on "completed listings" so I see what things actually sell for. I've found that to be pretty good. Also checking etsy, etc.
BTW, questions about selling are generally posted in this thread (assuming you're using eBay): http://www.styleforum.net/t/309281/buying-and-selling-on-ebay-tips-tricks-problems-questions

Ok, great. Thanks! That's what I suspected but I've been getting some lowball offers and wondered if I was missing something. I'll check out that thread...

Appreciate all the feedback/discussion on the $1k Kiton shirt. Excellent insight.

Still, to this day, no shirt in my wardrobe fit me better than my Stafford Executive Non-Iron Cotton Pinpoint Oxford pictured below. Cheap price point, amazing fit for me personally, and a nice spread collar. Couldn't tell you the difference from this and some high end shirts I own. I can NEVER find these anymore. Yep, Stafford.

You must have missed my jacket from the turn of the century and vest from 1927.

No, those were awesome!! Sorry, I thought I commented on them in the Vintage thread.

This sale is HUGE. A lot of clothing, LOTS of shoes, and tons of stuff. Will post brag pics later. For now, just look at some of the pics of the sale itself. Sorry the pics are so bad between the I-phone, stormy weather, bad lighting and hurrying to take the pics, they aren't great.

These pictures don't show half of the building.

















I didn't even take pictures of the 4 rooms full of clothing. There was so much there. I left with 3 large boxes and I will have to go back. There was so much there, it was a little overwhelming.

FIrst time making PUT THIS ON'S eBay round up. ******* awesome. I thought that list was pretty much just reserved for Spoo auctions but I broke through.

Congratulations! You have been anointed! The rest of us Ebay minions must wait our turn to be discovered.

Jesus @the2ndhandman
, lets call it a day folks... At 4 in the morning.

Don't call the game just yet. I found only one tie. And in terms of sheer numbers, my post won't compete. But, there are some pretty brag worthy finds coming.

Is 60 pictures too many?

Thanks man...been looking at that list along with the one you gotta pay for, for about 4 years now...never thought I'd see myself on it...minor bucket list score.

Hope Chanel is legit. Found on the men's pants rack. Jcrew is NWT linen/cotton. Polo is gren? I'm terrible at figuring that out.
