The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[impuntura]

Remember those like size 14 or 17 French ones I found? Those things legit had to have been made for a pro baller because supposedly they didn’t make those sizes for their normal size range in those days. They were pretty toasted from age but they still went for a pretty penny, too. Makes me scared realizing that stores are probably tossing most of the vintage shoes and jeans I would love to buy. :/

I hear ya ,and heres the kicker when I was buying mine they told me they had the box but tossed it.which would have added like a grand to the price.
But my best and rarest find was of course the OG Nike Air Max 1 I got for 4.99 plus a $2 off coupon on a Saturday on way to buy milk.

It blows my mind at what some of these shops do. I’ve heard of them tossing packaging for lots of different stuff. Common sense would dictate its worth more with packaging, so why toss it?!

Got a new phone! Ha.
Random find from a couple days ago.

151, comes up as Liverpool area code. But the denominations aren’t jiving, right? I know nothing of British coin history, but coin slots appear to be for US market.
Similar model phones appear to be desirable and from the 60s.

I remember Silvertab from the late 80s. By 91 they were in all the outlet stores

Hmm. . Maybe there was an earlier silver tab?
we need a definitive source on this. it would be good to know.

Edit: oh. .i remember, old silver tab had red and white script on it? - 80's?
White tab had red and black script.- 90's
Silver tab was just silver and dark gray. -2000 ?

I just did a google search and it's still confusing.

Does anyone remember when the Nike "Team" started?

Can a Nike guru explain it all better?

I went out today for the first time in while. Found a suitsupply suit in my size.

Plus some JM Weston. These did really well for me the one other time I found them.

Yeah man! It has 1x capability! I’m stoked! Finally getting with the times! Can retire my trusty old carrier pigeon. His wings just can’t handle the workload like they used to. Haha.

Can anyone give me a little help with this sizing? Ferragamo women's pumps, but I can't figure out their size.
