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

[mistermidwester]

Some of them are worth a lot, some very little. Those look more recent from the little I can see, so you should do just fine.

I’ve had great luck cleaning bats with a magic eraser for small scuffs and other marks.

Needs a clean up but this Seiko tank is the nuts.

 

[eddiegreen]

Exactly the one i was thinking about

Here it is, much better than it was but still not great.

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

Vintage audio in SE Asia is huge. One guy told me he ships all the stuff he buys back to Thailand and then his business partner flips them. I have no idea how much the stuff is selling for there, but they must be making good enough money to go through all that hassle.

yup I have a Vietnamese guy who buys every single Bose speaker I can find and sends it back .he told me they are very popular in Karaoke bars and he sells to them and I don’t sell them cheap and he still makes money.

Yohji experts was the French made stuff 80s or 90s?

 

[goatamous II]

Made in France Yohji is from the 80's
Finding Yohji in general is uncommon, and finding a piece that old is kinda nuts

Kind of funny and ironic that I walked to the showcase of my local store about a minute too late as a teen was cashing out with four size 12 sneakers. Two Gucci and Two LV. All high tops but condition didn’t look great. Thrifting literally is feast to famine in a day lol.

That’s how all the cool big JBL’s ended up in Japan for Kenrick Sound to restore.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

I paid up but I guess I’m okay with it .
