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

[woodchuck312]

Carroll county and good measure should not even be in the same sentence...may as well said Cecil.

To be fair I think I have only been to the GW in Westminster a few times. I don't think i've ever found anything that was even remotely worth the trip. Pro tip though Baugher's Farm outside Westminster in the Fall is great for apple picking and cider.

#onestop. Had to go down to Phx to pick up some furniture won at auction, and it turned out the pickup spot was just a mile or so from a little hole-in-the-wall thrift I rarely get to, as it is too far out of the way to be part of a regular circuit. No over-the-top grails, but a bunch of flippable inventory with a super-low PPU of around three bucks. So here is the #onestop in its entirety:

S5A house brand with Zegna cloth and a couple BB Madisons.

Tori Richard for HD

Couple PRL blousons and a cool Orvis super-thick coat

Pants. Cornys are linen.

Shirts. Dang, that BB OCBD is about the preppiest shirt I've ever seen . . .

Lots of ties at a buck each.

Had no idea Psycho Bunny even made ties . . . pink Behar is linen. And that Chinese Peter Millar 7-fold is shockingly nice.

Couple Magnanni belts for two bucks each.

And a pair of Cable & Co cap toe bluchers, appearing unworn.

Technically those are my stores.

Technically, those are Omar's stores...

Happy Fourth my friends. Stay safe out there. This year that means more than not losing fingers.
Ran into the office to water the plants, hit the store a block away. Been forever since I've seen H. Plum velour pants, mens, and Guideboat madras shorts.

Thrift fit, courtesy of the link posted here about the glitch in the SuSu matrix on custom orders. They didnt honor the order, but gave a $50 credit for canancelling it, so I bought these linen drawstring shorts. Susu popover, CH stitchlite shoes, both thrift.

Yeah, they didn't honor mine but got a 550SEK ≈ 60 dollares gift card. Seems that some got their order through though.

Pop for me & I'm guessing a thread first;

Huh, I stopped following the thread after my saga was closed, assumed everyone got heir orders canceled. Still for the best though, didn't actually need a suit, and these are my new favorite shorts.

I forget that there are other threads on SF. People are much more down to earth in this thread than some of the other ones, haha.

 

[txwoodworker]

^Same. This and the eBay thread, several times a day, but only stray when someone here mentions something in the outside world.

Thread friends there is nothing like the air conditioning going out, on the 4th of July, when it's sunny and 94 degrees F / 34.4 degrees C to remind me how much I rely on air conditioning to be comfortable! As I find this community to be the single most resourceful group of people I know, any thoughts / tips on a potential self fix? I've already checked to see if it's frozen up (not that i can tell) and cleared the drain line. Full disclosure it went out a month or so a go and it was an easy fix for an A/C service (only like 100 bucks) and it's a relatively new condenser outside that just isn't coming on. Also further full disclosure i've had 2-3 frozen margaritas so not in the best place to do any electrical work

Those dicks. They talked me down a ton on it with some sob story about never getting in any good mic time. Then they go and repost it for 2x what they paid?!

I'm guessing you live in a house ,I live in a condo but had the same problem just neutral air coming out (if I understood correctly ?)
So my gf actually scheduled a service guy to come out but the previous day I tried a hail Mary pass.
I put the AC on cool then turned it off ,and put it on heat for a minute. Turned off again and put in cool and gradually it started cooling again no problem.while it was on heat there was a strong smell so I'm guessing some clogging blew out.
saved about $400 .
Worked for me ,just saying.

Ask Joel if it was he or his wife who used the microphone. Asking for a friend.
