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

[kbadgley84]

This has come up a couple years back and I’m pretty sure there was found to be employees lurking on here

 

[kbadgley84]

If any of this was my size I’d wear it

 

[Jackstraw001]

That place is so hit and miss, and it's almost always priced way high.

Yeah, the gal who runs it knows what’s up so that’s why most of my purchases there are for personal/family use.

Ok guys


They say if you love what you do it's not work, and everyone here is pretty much addicted to thrifting. It's like the dragon always needing another grail, another find One more

just
one
more

Until you wake up and think when do I go again?

When coming at it from the mindset off it's paying $20 for. Game it's nice time

When your mind set is x dollars will get y-(x+pp+e) return it's not as fun when there are dry spots and there will be many


So I am going to focus my focus on education for a few months, and while there is no entertainment the return should be much higher hopefully

Last time I quit I focused on excersce and went from 42 to a 46 and while not satisfied with fat % I am happy with the mass gain

So to succeed I need to quit again. I really thank everyone of the thrift homies. I love the pics , the finds, the learning, the feedbacks, the great off topic posts. At least for me the reason I come back to styleforum 5 times a day.(let's be real 10 times a day)

So no more thirfting

No more thread

At least for a few months

Best wishes thrifting to you all

Didn't know there was such a thing as Charles Tyrwhitt shoes, but these are made in England and my size, so why not...

I thrifted a pair of Charles Tyrwhitt boots (made in England) a few months ago, and they are my favourite boots.

Anyone happen to know what decade this label is from?

mole

Every couple weeks or so I think that, then things go back to normal. I've identified a couple managers who, I used to think knew what's up and were upping the pricing on the good stuff. On Saturday, I got fed up in one store with every pair of shoes I liked being $20 to $30, so I just started to flip all the shoes, to see what "normal" was, they were all $20 to $30. I felt rage/relief.

Ok guys

everyone else beat me to it. But, seriously, I wish you luck. If I put the energy of this hobby into playing the violin, I'd be first chair somewhere by now. (my apologies to musicians out there, allow a little poetic license)

THE OFFICIAL THRIFT/DISCOUNT STORE BRAGGING THREAD - PART II (RETURN TO THE THUNDERDOME)

Inquiring minds want to know.

Value Village has a mole in this thread. I swear. Prices are skewed on items that have been popping up on this thread. I'm not crazy, I swear.

That whole company has lost track of what a thrift shop is, and the fact that **** is donated to them.

All four of their stores in CO went out of business.

Trying to expand my knowledge of Bakelite. Bottom bangle tested positive, the other two look/feel like it, but still not sure.

Didn't know anyone else on here was woke about Bakelite ****. I'll share my most recent pickup:

Couldn’t tell you how many pounds of resin and plastic garbage jewelry I’ve thrown away thinking it might be Bakelite
