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

@noob in 89 Are all of those pairs Bausch & Lomb Ray Bans?

I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the piling-on and the incredible negativity...

2 people pointed out the "P&S" was fake. 2 is a pile?

Anyway, looks like you got a bunch of likes on your post so there you go. One bad find out of the bunch.

This is a boring conversation that has run its course. I am blocking you now, as I rally do not need to hear from you in future.

I prefer to imagine that you put on a Holland and Holland shooting jacket and Ludwig Reiter boots every morning to waltz into the town square...

I think you're missing the Alpine horns blowing in the distance too to announce his arrival, but maybe that is just from my version of Handersthrift.

I dunno. This always happens to me. A mint pair of 80s glasses, then mystery pairs from the same era. All relevant info is completely rubbed off the temples. The black thingies on the top and the way the temples hang when folded are similar. One kind of looks like evil Sylvester Stallone Cobra classes and seems sturdier/higher quality than the knockoffs I find. I was hoping with better pics someone could confirm.

The top pair is a personal grail — cherry cough syrup colored lenses, no prescription. They say B&L Ray Ban on the bridge, but I can’t remember if they’re actually Ray Bans...

They’re these (though they look darker, less PINK! without the light):

Ya those are the “Wings” and I’m pretty sure are very collectible. Have that shield design.

Did-not-kop question. Information seeking only.
I ran across this label today. Is it different from PRL? (Is it real?)

You know I love you bro but no need to block someone for politely calling out a miss. YMMV

 

[California Dreamer]

YMMV

Yes it does. Calling me a crank came into it too. Life is short; I don't need that stuff.

Lol @California Dreamer

You sound like my 8-year old. Calm down.

Not helping mate. I'm calm; I also have made up my mind that I don't like people who have a go at me, and I don't need them in my life. "YMMV", but that doesn't mean I have to follow your advice.

When your wife reminds you that you could have purchased an autographed Kobe Bryant jersey for $150 a couple weeks ago.

 

[tgaith77]

Man, the high-stakes, cut-throat world of thrifting has brought some to their boiling point.
