Selling all but that Enicar is calling my name in that kinda way.

Yeah I'd have a hard time parting with that Enicar as well.

FINALLY got out to do some runs yesterday. work's been a **** show lately.

One thing, and it's so totally 90s, I love it!

Panasonic RX-DS45 Uber overkill boom box. Everything works! $9.49 out the door.

Now I wanna find one of those psycho "Cobra Top" models!

I think these are the last furniture restoration pieces of the year. I picked up a really nice Arne Hovmand executive desk, but that'll need to wait 'til next spring.

After complaining about stuff not selling, a bunch of things sold. Which was nice. Got a bunch of "I want this but it would need to be delivered to Toronto" messages, too.

I had salvaged the base of a dining table a couple of years ago. I held onto it thinking I'd be able to frankenstein something down the road. I found this very heavy round top without the slice down the middle for a leaf. Originally it was for a coffee table. I took everything apart, did a bunch of work on it, and the finished product is below.

This is the top part of the credenza. I turned it into a book-case by adding legs so I could sell it separately. It sold in 10 minutes.

Curious to see if there's any truth to this:

I am a newcomer to SF and love this thread. Going to thrift stores, car boot sales etc. is massively fun, but living where I do, in a not-very affluent part of Denmark, I can only dream of finds such as the ones you show here.

Well, until today.

All from the same Red Cross thrift store in Holstebro (@RFHansen will no doubt agree with me that this is completely out of character for the region), I assume that a local business magnate has passed. Corduroy jacket is Zegna for Neiman Marcus, the Cuseri's are in Bozzalla & Lesna Super 100 and NWT, the next three are all Zegna (black trousers are NWT) and then checked flannels are Canali. There's even a pair of Levi's 501 in good shape. PPU is ~ $10.

The jacket is size 58 all trousers are 38" width.

The no. 1 find, however, were these:

Vintage glass Christmas tree ornaments that my GF and I really love - not that common to find (first time I've found them thrifting) and usually 3x as costly.

Thanks for all the good advice here!

Tried to take my mind off things. Found something that 44L folks in the thread should hit me up about.

2% cashmere blazer. Dust on it so needs a little cleaning, but is in good shape. Surprisingly ****** buttons for such an expensive jacket.

it seems they are just generally called Canon P (Populaire?)

The Canon P is A Beautiful, Functional 35mm Rangefinder Worth Shooting Today

What adjectives describe a modern Canon camera? Rugged? Purposeful, maybe? I’ll bet beautiful seldom comes to mind. That’s not a knock. Canon today produces cameras that survive when guys like Larry Chen strap them to the outside of an angry drift car, and a design brief that plans for that sort...
