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

Would you guys buy these at 9.99

Yes. Would you buy these at the same price? Dainite soles showing about about 11 steps of wear, give or take a few. I was guessing C&J for PRL/BB before taking out the generic trees...




Nope

Throw in a pair Maui Jim aviators and I'm good. Oh, and did I mention it's my BIRTHDAY!

p.s. Thanks, Frenchy, for the nice lead in

Will give it another shot, though I spoke to 2 people there this morning.
Still sucks.

Do not give up. Any hiccups or problems, and it's entirely the eBay/the sorting facilities responsibility, totally one of the beauties of GSP. Unless you prefer to take on full responsibility shipping to any and every country you don't have blocked, I would realize the benefits here, and disregard any problems your having, cuz no matter whatever, it will not reflect negatively on your account at the end of the day. Negative feedback? Totally not your fault or in your hands, and will be swiftly removed. It does suck for those outside the states since it honestly is such an insane rate to charge people for import fees and shipping, but people still buy and they never will stop. If you have problems and want to try and discuss them with the post office of whatever Eastern Block country you shipped too, well, have fun, but...just for arguments sake....let's say they even decide to give a **** about your phone call and whatever it is you may want from them, and it isn't deemed too taxing simply finding out your English speaking Western and disconnect....how do you then communicate? (this isn't a made up bullshit scenario for dramatic emphasis, I was there, in that position, had tons stolen, no recourse, and no care. I admit it was early and I didn't protect myself but I could care less from then on). **** international shipping. I know not an opinion popularly shared and something done regularly by many, but the possible issues could be possible ******* nightmares that could just be impossible to figure out. And insurance on packages sent internationally, it's not simply collected upon demand, that is a procedure as well, so this protection doesn't simply cover you and you call it a day. Whatever happens, if the **** hits the fan and your out on your own, you gotta deal with everything and that responsibility and the possibility inclinations it may hold, could possibly totally suck or be impossible to try and tackle. KEEP GSP.

Buy it and sell it as a recrafting project. EG does it for about $200 (?)

 

[impuntura]

Damn those are mint

 

[silverwarebandit]

I think I finally found the right vintage polo

 

[impuntura]

Yeah I bought them.this is my first pair of Greens in 15 years.i can see what the big deal is about.softest leather I've ever handled.e61 last.

 

[impuntura]

I had the leather version of that and went for $400 so it's okay but not earth shattering.still a nice jacket .

 

[silverwarebandit]

Ah damn, oh well. Getting closer!

 

[impuntura]

Picked up these vintage unbranded aviators .these were made by Ray ban no?
Real glass lenses etc.i don't care because it's for personal use and I love em just curious if ray ban ever made unbranded stuff .

A few recent finds...

Start with something I bought for myself. It was an "ethrift," though it was €40, so not that thrifty. First, the picture on the listing.

The measurements were spot on and it fits like a dream.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Fendi Parfums umbrella. Probably not worth much, but I wasn't going to walk by it.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I don't recognize this tag, does anyone? Is it just a generic "Made in England" tag?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I've picked up some ugly shoes, but these may take the cake. The woman thought I was joking when I brought them to the register and was going to put them back. Versace guys, do people actually collect something like this?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Vintage Nike and it has that "never-been-washed" tag look. Doubt it's a big collector item, but thought it was neat that it was made in the UK.

This seems near used prices if you are thinking about taking the Dymo 450 Thermal Label Printer plunge:

My used one is still going strong after almost 2 years....

Cheers!

Sorry to go off topic, but if I print shipping labels through ebays site and I wanna use this printer, is there any kind of formatting I need to do first to get hem to print right, or does it just do it correctly as is?

That moment when you realise you are the same size as @HansderHund and you're in direct competition for European e-thrifts.

Don't worry, there are a couple of others that are in that size range as well. Think of it as glass half full...when one wants to dump something from their wardrobe, you know who can take first swing.
