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

Unsure of THESE are a good deal / opportunity, but thought I would share nonetheless incase anyone here wanted them. Berluti Pierre Collection Patine Boots (Size EU41) for £165.00. Never used the website before, but they have some great prices.

Until all this stuff blows over I’ll continue to post alternating backlog and breakfasts... definitely have more time to cook when I’m not out scrounging estate sales and thrifts on Saturday mornings.

Last week I posted some grenadine ties and out of nowhere I found out from Spoo that one of mine with no labels was a Vanda and may have been his. I have been going through my personal tie collection (Spoo, some nice stuff will be going to you whenever my next shipment goes out,). And these three are keepers but wondered if anyone here knew the makers of these ties. (just for my own interest.)

i think it possible the two Arnys are Mogador as they look similar to the current striped mogadors currently at Drakes. I have read that trillion has used kiton, amongst others in the past although this tie does not strike me as a kiton. No other tags on the Arnys.
Anyway, thought the hunt might be fun for some of while no thrift stores are open. Appreciate anything you can find.

If the Fray isn't a seven fold, its not Kiton. I had some of those Arnys a few years ago - Not mogador (silk cotton) which is pretty stiff and nearly impossible to make an untipped roll like that. But they were indeed expertly made!

thank you Spoo. I assume you meant trillion, not fray (although they make shirts for trillion,). It is not a sevenfold. Good info on the Mogador as I don’t know that I have ever handled one.

Just checking in to say that I've been subsisting on beer and the kids' forgotten stash of M&Ms.

Jeez, I wish my kid would forget the M&M's. We use them to reward him for going on the potty. It's worked so well that four months on, he still demands them after going...

in case anyone hasn't seen this yet, heres 25 minutes of fun.

Oh, no that's exactly what these are for, but I eat them anyway.

Does your kid only want the brown ones?

Haven’t posted in a quite a while. New position hasn’t left much time for buying/selling, and I was told in my interview that anything more than a Dead shirt was dressing up so don’t have the same wardrobe rotation.

Using some at home time to keep an eye on eBay. At $5.38 ppu I call it close enough to thrift pricing.

Haven’t been out hunting in a long time, but quarantine life had me cleaning the garage. Came across an old favorite I got in high school I forgot i even still had.

 

[Pierson v Post]

We really need to get our country open for business. Nothing against old folks; just saying:

The average age of the 80 people who have died of Covid-19 in Palm Beach County is 79.8.
(Palm Beach Post, April 11, 2020)

Open everything back up. Quarantine people 65 and over. Quarantine any age person with underlying health issues or a current illness. Done.
