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

[Purplelabel]

Certainly a meaningful achievement, but surely you realize that $41 in 2013 is something like $500 now?

Picked up this cotton jacket yesterday for £6:

Haha, yes. Any attempt to scrutinize the comparison will reveal that I'm just having a laugh and not actually making any real claims. If you're a pedantic little **** like me and feel the need to actually look at it critically you'll probably note:

• $41 in 2013 dollars is more than $42 in 2019 dollars
• I sold mine using several 30 day and GTC BINOBO listings over a ~six month period while Spoo used a 10-day $9.99 no reserve auction (If I'd tried that, I would've been lucky to get a single bid)
• Everything I pick up and can't move myself in a decent amount of time for a decent price gets sent to LuxeSwap on consignment and gets moved quickly for a more than decent price.

PS. I got an offer for $40 this morning and counter-offered with $42. The buyer probably thinks I'm a petty cheapskate with a loose grip on reality.

think the 600 color code is supposed to be a red background not black

This stitching is so terrible but I was curious who was faking reebok in this day and age.

Oh this nonsense again.

The real version apparently sells for $700 or something ridiculous.

What up fellas. Two kids have been keeping me away from the game lately. But I popped into a shop and popped a cherry.

And some more English

But neither my size

What exactly am I searching for that got these in ads I see? Although damn, a whole suit for $49

I'd wear something like that to the beach, just so people still know I'm important.

It's been almost six years (I was a know-nothing lurker at that point) and it means absolutely nothing but damnit, @SpooPoker... consider your Bert Pulitzer wig snatched!

As suspenseful as a fight scene in One-Punch Man.

 

[dadjeans]

Lol. I give it five auction cycles before you hit three figures and PTO declares vintage MiUSA Bert Pulitzer autumnal paisleys this fall's biggest trend.

 

[SpooPoker]

Oh Brunello!

Entrepreneur Ruzwana Bashir and Sunrun co-CEO Lynn Jurich had both attended the event, but were added in to the photo later. Cucinelli has since apologized for using the doctored image.

When you're stackin', that $2, all becomes part of the cheddar.
