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

[eazye]

Dear thriftclause, like other have also posted, I'm not picky. My sizes are in my profile. I've been more into the SW&D side of things lately and less CM. I also dig vintage sewing and tailoring books and things of that nature. Thank you in advance.

YO, MAN...WHO GOT KOALA-T FOR THRIFTMAS?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

JUST SAYIN'.

I think that's a bear cub, not a koala. This is a Hermes koala:

Glad that I could be of assistance.

A good straight man is invaluable.

Abbott had Costello.
George had Gracie.
Johnny had Ed.

Gotta say, as a professor in a business school, seeing those inventory backlog pictures makes me pull my hair out. Would you keep boxes of dollar bills like that? Because that's what you've got right there. Those boxes are full of money you've spent, money that you could be spending, or money that could be working for you. As they are, they're just piles of money doing nothing (and as Jompso pointed out, probably decreasing in value).

Money, so much money just sitting around.

Been working on my backlog, rather than ******* with the sale day.

Pics of recent stuff later today.

Also, @Chotii that was me the other day.

Since everyone else is doing it...

Spoiler: Dear Thrift Santa

Like a lot of other dudes, I am not picky. This is just a fun thing and I'm looking forward to being surprised. Having said that, I have more ties and pocket squares than I know what to do with. I could use interesting medium-weight outerwear, any kind of trousers (or denims), but I have cyclist thighs so no slim fits. I also enjoy coffee, craft brews (especially stouts), and obscure vinyl and just about anything mid-century leaning. Cheers!

Yup. Initial investment is something I didn't even touch on. Think about how much you dropped for all that. As others have touched on with estimated values, that's a shitload of up front costs depreciating. Unless you have future plans of being Scrooge McDuck and diving into a room full of ties instead of gold coins, selling is your best call to say the least.

silk quilt sweatshop?

 

[Nobleprofessor]

Would not KOP unless for self and you love it. And this is coming from a guy who loves Omega. That **** is priced insanely high.

Thank you! I left it there. I'm think later in the week, I can get it for $350. Might still be too high. I just don't enough about these. It is old, I can tell that.

The hardest part of thriftmas is hoping your person will like what you send.

and guessing who got you.


i'm a wreck.

 

[Shoeluv]

I am the dude next store, I wear levi's and button downs. I do dress up for meetings with my customers, so I wear slacks and a sport coat once a month. I, as most others, am not looking for anything in particular, I could always use some belts (38"), boots or a light to medium weight outer wear piece. All of my sizes are in my profile, and really anything would be appreciated.

Cheers!

I didn't get you. So, that lessens the possibilities by one. I too am having a hard time because I want to put some thought into it. AND my Thriftmasee (I'm still trying to make this stick!) has a style totally different than my own. But, this is what makes it fun.

Lol, just get them something in their size. Why not take the other route of getting something they are not expecting or something they are not used to? Worst that could happen is they sell them as fodders. Don't lose any sleep over it, bro.
