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

[cpmac7]

Picked up these guys today. Marked a 10 D, not familiar with JM Weston's. Is this EU sizing or is the 10 D US Sizing? Does that mean its a 11 D US?

I also size people up like this. If there's some dude cruising the Suits / Jackets wearing selvedge, nice shoes, etc.. Imma run over there and start sifting that ****. If it's some normie in kirkland jeans and a hoody, with messed up shoes... I can relax somewhat.

Maybe some people use this to their advantage, and dress shittily when they thrift so that people don't think of them as a threat... But you can usually tell when someone has that "reseller" search pattern and speed / aggressiveness.

If you see someone in your local thrifts perusing the racks wearing cargo shorts with threadbare hem, t-shirt with a frayed collar, and old-ass Birkenstocks, feel free to "relax somewhat".

This is why I thrift wearing Clarks sandals, shorts and an LL Bean graphic t-shirt. Stealth mode.

Two stops 3 Kops @Thrift Vader Stopped by the local Japanomart in hopes that they'd have some magazines, unfortunately they did not. However, they did have these Delicious Melon Mochi which I havent eaten in like 5 years or so.

Wait, this exists?? Can you proxy?

nataku is missed.

It appears I have some catching up to do.

****, am I in the wrong place? I thought this was the "Official Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the Gathering Discussion Thread"

^You could make it a sort of best-of from the old thread?

Also:

ATTN: DENIM BROS: (EVERY BROS): GET IN HERE!

Everyone's got jeans, and there's an awesome denim challenge underway in SW&D. It'd be great to see our top denim guys (as well as the rest of us plebes) make an appearance

I think that you are confusing Black Sambo with the Black Knight.

This is why being a woman pays off pretty well when thrifting in the men's section. People automatically assume I don't know what I'm doing (which is great!)... Also, most people think I need to look everything up on my phone. Lol. Little do they know I'm a worthy adversary.

Here's a brag I can't prove... Lol. It was last year when I was doing my normal thrifting, when I came upon a pair of Zanella's. Crazy insane pair, that they were. But what was inside the pocket was even more insane..... $1,600! They were the newer bills too. I had to take them to the bank to verify if they were real, they were! Got my husband a gun and myself a really dandy coat. That money has been spent but the pants I'll always have for treasured memories.... Or until someone gives me a good deal, lol.
