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

[jumpman1231]

Haven’t found a lot of quantity lately but in the last week or so I did find 3 Brioni shirts my size for $6 each and then this suit that fits me for $9. Always fun finding things good enough to add to the closet!

USPS trouble -

I live in brooklyn. Occasionally I'll go out with some packages to drop off at a shipping center and see a USPS guy around, walk up and give them the prepaid packages. Usually they're chill with it, occasionally they say they can't take them. Usually it results in faster acceptance than the shipping seller slog.

On wednesday I dropped off two packages with a usps guy on the street, one of them express. Neither have scanned and both buyers are getting upset. I figured they'd see that one was express 1 day and get on it, but no dice? Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

@Yorker there’s a buying & selling on eBay tips & tricks thread that may be better suited to help you
But I’d probably go to the post office with the tracking numbers and ask them what’s going on

@impuntura I loathe sandals in general but those are pretty cool. A guy I work with calls them "Jerusalem Cruisers" and most recently, "Prayer Force 1's". Always makes me laugh.

How about Bethlehem Boosts

Great start to the day. Battistoni 7 fold print looks like chicken legs. T&A snakes.

That's a cold hearted snake. Look into his eyes.

So! First scavenger hunt of 2018, hosted by Purp. Rules are simple; no cheating, planting, retail is allowed. Only thrifts.

10 items this time around, all should be fairly easy to find. We’ve all found at least a couple of them, sorta...

Find a piece of Purp; could be a tie all the way to croc jackets.
Some Paul Smith would be nice!
Something James Bond related; clothing, dvd, props etc
A cashmere scarf
Anything made by Barbour.
Sailing gear (none of that polo/tommy ****)
Some British tourism novelty.
RTW Hermès. No ties allowed!
Something ridiculously overpriced.
Something Marks & Spencer/St Michaels.


Prize will be something TBC. All photos have to have the Shaka in.



You have until the 28th, Gentlemen.

I’unno, just pulled it from google.

Before anyone else, TWSS.

 

[Pierson v Post]

Wool pants with some kind of British-looking pattern...

Some old lady must have taken all her extra quilt patches and sewn them into a jacket. Has a single rear center vent (still basted shut) and working surgeon cuffs...She must sew good...
