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

[Sartoriamo]

After stopping into the GW and one of the other local thrifts three days in a row, I really didn't expect anything yesterday. But the thrift always surprises . . .

Carhartts for him and Asolo for her (TWHS) . . .

NWT Jacob Siegel for Nordies

Two of these NIB lamps for ten bucks each on half-price day.

I like buying fixtures etc, as I find they flip well and fast. There seem to be a lot of those around here, I guess from the land of abandoned remodeling intentions . . .

And finally, one for the car guys, right on the GW checkout counter: "is someone buying this?" "No" "Well I am". "Oh, we just put that out". "Yep". Brand new Superflow MV-90 big-tire air compressor. At 45 amps, it's too intense to run from the lighter socket, so needs its own battery clips. Built like a tank. Who donates a new one of these? Always a mystery, but for a Jackson, it came home, of course.

Cool shirts.
I remember a time very well as a little kid in the dept store with my mom. I was trying hard to beat her up into buying me a Hang Ten shirt.
She said " I am NOT, spending $10 on a t-shirt!! "

 

[txwoodworker]

Well, now you can get them for a lot more
If they weren't sold at Sears, my mom wasn't getting them. Toughskins and Nike knock-off sneaks for me.

I had every color of tough skins...

definitely clueless when it comes to this. grabbed at bins for $.70, stamped solid copper. Someone said it was arts and craft style from 20's or 30's. can anyone confirm this? if it isn't, anyone know what it is? thanks in advance.

that's a copper box converted to a lamp i think, with the hinge and latch and handle.

in hand those hang ten shirts are crazy high quality

I passed on a long sleeve and immediately regretted it. Came back a few days later, and it was still there.

Freaking velour.

possibly. More likely that guy probably would have disposed of the book in this maner...
