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

[My Main Man]

Just kind of bizarre. I thrifted this book at about 5:15pm on September 10th. It was released that morning. So someone bought the book first thing in the morning, brought it straight to Goodwill, and it made it out to the floor for the post-work crowd. I’m guessing it was an accidental donation but i was planning on buying it so it saved me about $28.

Oh **** you’re probably right! Or a customer who set it down, i almost bought someone’s sunglasses one until i overheard Him asking employees if they’d seen them

Broke a dry spell at one of my regular spots. @flipstah and I have been striking out for about three weeks there

Off the street, straight on my feet?

One of my co-workers put my $500 sunnies out for sale when I left them on the sorting bench one day. I had to move very quickly to get them back from a guy who was going through the specs tray.

Kinda dry in the CM dept (my go to) but I did pick up some casual stuff recently. Anything over 20 years is vintage, right? $3:

already sold, $4:

Both single stitch but the Mickey ringer has the tag cut off. $2 each:

$4:

Thrifted 2 BB 1818s and 2 HFs. This one was $20. The other BB (no pix) was ~10. the HF was ~$7:

terry cloth VTG, $~7:

Straight to the thrifts? $2:

$1 each. the bruce t is not single stitch but the other one is. Soft spot for springsteen stuff. Maybe my first "real" concert was the Tunnel of love tour when I was a wee young lad:

$5:

2nd HF, $10:

$4:

Mine loves those fiddle leaf fig trees, too. That would have scored me triple the points I get for clothes I find her. Nice score!

Drilled a hole in my computer and strapped that ****. thanks.
worked like a charm.

gotta love this community.

huge shoutout to @dukedishin for completing my pair of Chapman tortoiseshell lamps. Been looking for a match since I found the one a couple years ago. So crazy how the one he found is also from 1978 and had a very similar patina.

and a long overdue shoutout to @Shiny for hooking me up with the exact pair of rrl I’d been looking for, and a pair of flat head I didn’t even know I wanted.

 

[dukedishin]

I second the “I love this community” sentiment. I mostly lurk these days but @330CK helped be a reference as I grabbed this piece in the same estate sale. Was totally out of my element but his expertise helped me win big.

Anyone recognize the maker.nice suede jacket.

Recent pickups:

Thanks for the help identifying these Aldens. Guess the resident shoe guy missed them. $5.99



One of my favorite types of finds. Reg NWOT Millar but Ole Miss.




Mezlan apron toes and Magnanni votos (current) $5.99



Fodder shirts. $2.99-$7.50 each





RA find, no idea how this will perform but MSRP was $395 and down filled. Calvin Klein vest $22



Not too exciting $$ wise but these Vineyard Vines pants were too cool to pass on, unfortunately too loose on me.

Lilly and EZ

BB USA

APC for the skinny minnies

I don't do yard sales often, but I saw this sticking out from under a table and hit the brakes. Turned out to be a Polytone 102. $25 later she was mine. The original foam grill cover was dry rotted so I have spent the morning putting a new one together with some scrap wood and old tweed fabric I had around. Will take it to the local amp guy next week for an overhaul, but she should not need too much.
