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

Goodwill sends its share too. The guy who runs this operation says they roll out trays every fifteen minutes.

After these folks make their choices the bins get loaded into big cardboard dump boxes, hoisted up by forklifts then it’s off to you know where.

I'm just wondering if that garment being inspected is a Patagonia nano puff vest tho??

Not sure but I've pulled Loro Piana, Zegna and vintage Florsheim from those bins. Just depends on the day. It's a pretty well-behaved crowd but when a new bin rolls out, it's best to step back until the action settles a little. This is stop #3 on my Saturday morning five-stop thrift route, which is all I have time for these days. And some $2 AE Park Avenues? Sure why not.

They clean up pretty good.

I think Flipstah or Vader posted a grand Seiko .

A while back, I found a small watch repair shop locally. And he had ALL the Seiko's and Citizens. -including a few Grand Seiko's. cheapest GS was $350 Iirc.

Bought a few of the other ones from him.

The current craze for Vintage Seiko has really bumped the prices for me. making good finds harder to get.
@Guitar Preacher Great find! well done sir.

If I find a GS below market value? you got Dibs on a proxy.

-Just let me know if you find shoes i might like in size 11.5.
