What's all this noise about a guy in LA, challenging a guy in NY, and a guy in Maple syrup throws his hat in?

We need a fair,and extremely Difficult Hunt. with a list of items. one proposed item per member.

The first to cross every member off the list?
holds and wears "The Crown". (yes,a crown) until another can achieve the same feat. with a fresh list.

"The Thrifter games"

Because talk is cheap. put your skills on the table.
Rules?

1. item must exist. and potentially be in the wild. (Not currently in a museum,or 1 of 1 in a private collection.)
2. you must have not Thrifted the item(s) you propose, in the last decade.
3. winner takes the Crown.

who's in?

Do we have to purchase the item or just take a photo of it in the store to claim said crown?

You have to Find it. whether in a field, a dump, an antique shop,a flea market,a thrift store,a garage sale,or random find.

purchase not required. this is purely hunting. not everybody has need of each member's item. but finding an item within each other members area of expertise is what makes for a true King of Thrift.

proving your diversity and depth of thrift ability. kop if you want the item.
rules will be outlined in the thread.
