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

[Bon Vivant Life]

Are y'all folks bins still coughing up gold? Mine used to be my "go-to"

Since they've reopened, the merchandise is more in line what you'd expect. Rejects and stuff that didn't sell in the stores. Not to mention, only about half the bins and a cap on how many people can enter at one time.

And a huge uptick in kids hanging around all day. I listen in and hear "depop, etsy, etc." repeatedly. I casually scan their carts. mostly stuff I'm not all that interested in.

So sad. It's like losing a dear friend ?

The Bins. In future generations they will be lumped in with Atlantis, Xanadu, Camelot and El Dorado. A place of epic riches, where fortunes were made, but then they disappeared like the dinosaurs. I vaguely remember them now.

It was kind of like the early days of the New World, when you could just stake out a plot somewhere and it's all yours. Now that everything's explored, you pay taxes and mark-ups, and most of the time someone else got there first.

Just snagged these Unused Levi’s Duck & Denim trou. LVC I presume?

Interesting short NYT read on THE Arcteryx dead bird

I feel dumb for asking
This is fake, right?

 

[JChong8]

@goatamous II you should post pics of the interior tag if there’s one and a full view of the piece. Hard to tell based just on that label.

Not an e-thrift, but from a sample sale. NFS, I'm keeping this 150% haha. At $50 Canadian Pesos, how could I refuse?

Yeah upon further inspection, there are a few pictures that are nsfw in this book.

Yes, definitely more of an at-home table book.

Although, sometimes the more provocative titles are the best way to spark conversation in other directions.

I bought 19 ties today for a flat $5 each this was one of them. And does anyone know this content tag? I didn’t see it in the labels thread but browsed it pretty fast. On a pair of brushed twill single pleat pants for personal.

Was about to leave a store empty-handed when I saw this. Crazy what these retail and resell for.
