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

[impuntura]

Have you played a tape and listened to it?

I will let the guy who’s gonna buy it worry about that.
I’ve met some of these audiophiles during some transactions and I think they love taking high end stuff apart and putting it back together more they they do listening to it .
Kinda like guys who own classic cars love to tinker on them .
I had one Russian guy but a high end tape deck off me that didn’t work and he said I should give him a discount and I mentioned I should charge him more because he gets to figure out what’s wrong with it and he just smiled coz it was true

Also to add I’m almost certain the buyer will be Russian ,Vietnamese or Philipino.
Like 8 out of 10 things I sell audio is that demographic

I sold some reel to reel tapes a few months ago to a buyer in China. The shipping was almost $100 but he was fine with it.

Got really excited when I saw this fabric on the rack amongst the coats.

Alas, it is just a Browns Beach inspired Wallace & Barnes (still a decent find, but....)

I love W&B. They do some good "mish mashed archival inspiration" type items. Some of their sort of "naval deck coat" style jackets, bombers and CPO shirts are pretty nice. Kinda like RRL's simpler, lower cost Cousin.

Never seen Eidos label like this, inner tag looks like isaia. Is this the same Eidos? View attachment 1875673
Found decent trousers. But don't know the maker, is this someone notable ? View attachment 1875674

Okay made a better photo of the tag. Looks like Isaia tag, but slightly different. The jacket itself does not look like a typically Isaia garment, no luxury handy work. Maybe someone can clarify ?
Asking cause probably want to keep it for myself.

@eddiegreen is that the same PRL vest that had the staining in front? If yes, you did an amazing job cleaning it. If not, that's wild that you'd find another PRL Goat Suede vest

@Voidoid - Eidos was the "little brother" of Isaia. They ceased production in 2020

I think the one you’re talking about is the RRL deerskin vest which was stained, I wish I had done an amazing job cleaning it, it’s been a proper pain **********, only today I have been sandpapering it after weeks of cleaning and drying, another few days and it should be ready though.

 

[goatamous II]

Exactly the one i was thinking about

They tried to hide this in the suit section until senior’s day lol

Got the itch to go thrifting after almost a year. Been hitting stores the past week or so. A couple of the more interesting things. Shame there were no pants with the NWT RLBL. All true thrift

 

[Purplelabel]

Bosh

 

[Letric]

Isn't this some kind of good brand of bat? Haven't looked them all up yet, just grabbed the whole wad.
