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

[txwoodworker]

It's a fleece jacket, I'll get some thrift pron when I unload the car tomorrow.

Mkay then I'll drop a little eye candy to fill out this page..

The past 2.. 2.5 years I've been buying shoes, but not listing or selling any. This means amassing many many pairs in a storage facility. Recently moved and various complications made working on vast amount of shoes unfeasible... Until about a week ago.

I've wanted to take 1 large photo of the entire hoard, but since I've got about 20 crates filled with ~20 pairs of shoes and boots wrapped in tissue each.. It would take a long time to transport, take it all out and arrange just for a photo. So I've decided to share a batch every now and then here in the interest of contributing content. Some of you may have already seen some of these on the market.

I'll start with the primo $hit. These were all thrifted:

Danner Bull Run 6" Moc Toe. New.

Danner Mountain Light II GTX. New.

Chippewa Roofer Boots. New.

Chippewa Service Boots. New.

AE Landon. New.

Red Wing Heritage 8138. I wish I could find more like these.

Frye Grady Chelsea. New.

Thursday Boot womens. Like New.

Harness 12R in Tan. Like new.

Same girl donated these a few days later. Harness 12 R in Black.

VTG Chippewa 'Odessa Rally' Moto Boots. Pretty darn cool.

And lastly for now... I can never get over how beautiful AE Strands in Walnut are.

Cheers and have a happy weekend.

Had a pretty crazy day yesterday. I was walking the dog and saw a house about a block from mine getting cleared out. Saw all kinds of high end speakers and electronics. Talked to the guy sitting out front who informed me the person living in his property was a prolific thief, addict, hoarder and apparently had been squatting in this guys house for close to a year, using squatters rights to stay. Until yesterday. Dude said have at it basically, so I grabbed what I could carry. Picked up a Sony turntable, Realistic preamp and a nice JVC receiver. Went back a little while later and the guy said I should check out the back yard. I couldn't believe what this guy had amassed. Probably 100K worth of electronics, bikes, tools etc. One of my neighbors walked by and I said go get your car lol. I left there with 2 reel to reels, a set of Bose speakers, some more preamp type things, a klipsch sub and a pair of Boston T390s.

Oh man! I live for stuff like this! Grab everything you can. I’d take Frenchy’s advice and rent a storage unit. I ended up doing this a few years ago. Well worth it!

Wondering what I missed but a euro-douche starter pack of four Kiton pants and a Larry Piano polo will have to do…

@SimonC Found some Larry shoes as well!

Do you wear them? If not, why buy and hold?

Went back to the spot this morning. , tried to go into the backyard and was told by a guy back there that it was off limits. Still managed to pull another receiver mij technics and another realistic intergrated amp as well as a few records.

Great photos and some really nice footwear. Out of interest, how come you’ve been amassing all these shoes? I remember you posting once about having crates and crates of ties. Do you prefer to stockpile for ages and then just sell all at once?

Oops, I basically asked the same thing

I had to pay up, but got my first Filson product. Apparently I missed a coat and shirt (if it was the Mackinaw) which it may have been someone is very lucky. Also some Japanese selvedge Sunspel jeans.

 

[mskis]

It cleaned up nicely.
