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

[aragon765]

The biggest bike thief in Toronto history?
Dude if you think that this bike will not sell in Toronto in the spring then yeah I'm gonna say I don't think you know what the f*ck you're talking about.
Just my opinion .

PS. I like that, Master Thrifter .
Gonna use it.

Yes, I have great stories from that time... but evidently this thread is not the place for discussion, just bowing down to your eternal greatness...

PS: I still wear those Vass shoes I bought from you a couple years ago - it was nice to meet you in person, but I will be sure to avoid commenting on anything you post in the future, as evidently I don't know that the f*ck I am talking about... cheers.

so you are saying that LG1 is worth only $40 CANADIAN. i'm not even super into bicycles... but that seems very improbable.

It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, I can be nice in person (as were you)
And still think that you don't know what the hell you're talking about when it comes to THIS purchase of mine.
You can comment all you like doesn't bother me just be ready to get called out on silliness.

collectors are so fickle. i assume rarity is the #1 reason for its value?

i mean how much better can it be than my minty 1952 Canon IVSB rangefinder? ... which probably works, but i tried reading the manual... WOW, too ******* complicated!

it's real purdy though... so it sits on a shelf next to my vintage radio collection. NO i'm not a hoarder. LOL!

Okay and now the cherry.
Extremely rare only 700 known to be manufactured 1959 edition.
The ones listed have the lesser lens that cane with it ,mine has an upgraded one that apparently is very popular with Leica mount cameras.
Almost mint condition and fully functional .

Yes and no ,it's a direct copy of a Leica when the Nazis gave Japan the specs of Leicas to make cameras for their own armed forces during WW2.

@Centaurus3200 collectors of anything are a puzzling thing to me. And I dabble in collecting various things.

For example, this is a pair of bmxx bars I recently scored. They are quite sought after. There are race and freeestyle versions of them. They are identical in every way for actual usage, with the exception of the fs version having the top bar bent a little on each side where it is welded to the main bar. Sweep, rise, tube thickness, etc., all appear to be the same on this particular version (there are various iterations) and yet those two little bends in crossbar literally make the value jump 2-3x.

That said, if anyone is willing to keep an eye out on old bmxx stuff for me I’d appreciate it. It’s been my current adhd flavor of the moment for a bit. I will trade nicer menswear or other stuff I’ve collected for the right rusty stuff. Haha.
