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

[Letric]

Buffalo Check day at Sierra...

So STP is prosperous for sourcing inventory?

I've often seen and heard phantoms of Filson inventory coming out of there but never been myself personally. Is there certain sales days or restock days to be aware of? Do you do "Doors Open" first thing in the AM? What sales %'s do you typically see - Like if there's a Filson coat with MSRP of $350 what kind of price would that be usually?

It’s very much hit or miss. I just went there to get the next size up running shoes for my oldest son, and found these on the clearance rack.

As far as profit margin, that’s also hit or miss. I got these for less than 20% of retail.

Thanks for the report! Might have to add them into my route or at the very least stop by a few times a year for personal browsing. Just really did not know anything about the store.

Spectacular vintage Gucci briefcase/backpack/portfolio combo.
I'll post better pics after I refresh it a bit.

Ooh that will look brill after a conditioning.

What's everyone's preferred basic "leather conditioner" ?

I use that product for shoes maintenance and renovation. It has a cleaning effect on top of the conditioning that I like. I can also find it for cheap but I'm not sure of the availability out of France.

Ah so that's the generic labeled Saphir Rennovateur yeah? Or is that the label you see in France?

Both by AVEL and have the same jar and top label as the 'Medaille d'Or' line. Looks like it's the bigger jar that's the same size as the "limited" ones they put out on the US market a few years ago:

I remember it was a substantially better price per ml than the smaller 75ml? jars.. But was that just a fancy label put over the generic product?

There's also this packaging that I see online at various sources, again made by AVEL and in the same size jar with metal lid:

In the end it's all white-ish goop that smells weird and we coat our shoes with it.

Anybody happen to recognize the maker of this tag? Made in Italy, Lanificio Cerruti cloth… just curious who made the suit.

Pop on Iron Heart

The material is heavyweight, and very high quality

This is mint and I'm guessing from the 90's

Made in USA and not a camo pattern, thankfully.

E-thrift Aldens with a nasty scratch on the vamp, but they're my size and hard to pass up at at $50.

It’s not the same line, but my climbing bag is from Mysrery Ranch. I picked it up at STP a few years ago. They make great stuff. My Organic crashpad has shoulder straps made by them as well.

good guess. 1993 by the code on the label. The year is always after where it says "DSA100-" maybe the DSA changes but I always look for the "100-"
