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

I see Pucci ties going for boatloads on eBay, but also see them selling for very little. When it comes to Armadillo Zigzag it's very clear to see that the real $$$ ties are the Quindici, and from there the price slides downward with factors like age of the tie and pattern desirability. With Pucci, I can't recognize the determining factors that separate a $80 tie from a sub-$10 tie. Any Pucci fans out there care to share their knowledge?

The Pucci I found that caused me to start investigating:

Thanks in advance, more ties in spoiler.

Seriously That POLO!  WOW.  

I'm guess that XXL Burberry measures like an XL?   Right? 

Haha that's what I though when I saw it.

And yep! Measures pretty small for a XXL

Well, we found out the gender of our child...

So, here's a brag, not thrift related but went to neighborhood store near Harajuku. Didn't go here last time. Koped 2 cups. Made in usa. Pretty quality. Damn, nbhd does colab with everyone! Oh, popped on a bounty hunter item for free!!! Pics dump later.

So, every store didn't allow pics of the goods unless you are Vader and i stomping at the stores in his hood. I understand that. I tried to take pics of the comme des Garçons sign on the wall when the lady stopped me. Really?! No pics of the ******* wall!? That was a mother dick!

Congrats! That is fantastic!

Mine are (in order) Girl, Boy, Girl, Girl, Boy. The Boys are much easier. Boys just break things. They are pods from the Planet Destructo (with apologies to Dave Barry). The girls are sweet and kind and conscientious until about 11, then hold on to your hat!

1. Your pics are amazing, the rustic-ness is so awesome with that trunk as a prop. Well done.
2. Is this tie available?

Hey thanks for saying so, mang! And, yeah, I typically don't take the time to snap pics of stuff I'm keeping so if I posted it and didn't say "NA" it's available.

Just got back from a week of vacation where I did as little Internet as possible. Ain't got time for 1100 new posts - did I miss any grails or mindsploding hauls?

This was me last week:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Actually, that was like 2 hours of last week. Most of it was dealing with this little sand monster.

I find shoe trees at Estate sales. I do have several pair of JAB shoe trees and they are very nice! But, I am constantly in need of shoe laces! Thanks, @drlivingston

Thanks, Doc!

I generally hold out for their Buy One get a Franchise Free sales, and stock up. But their trees, and other woodlore products are top notch.
