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

[Nataku]

Good eye! 1980 VW Scirocco. My first car.

Pic from about 10 years ago when my wife and I had His and Her's Mk1 Sciroccos. She liked mine so much, she bought a green one ('81). Then we had kids and having 4 cars seemed a bit impractical. We kept mine since it had a lot of sentimental value and sold her's. She still drives mine, though!

you F***ers.

luckily I’m a 42r in Purp now. So I can only applaud the jammy sod for pulling that!

42R eh?

Found this Monday

I am currently caught up with PMs on the gift exchange. Once you PM me, if you don't get an immediate response, you'll get one within 24 hours. If you signed up last year, your username is still valid on the website we use and you can reset your password as necessary.

It's a fun thing to do and there's an entire month of shopping time once the names are drawn, so consider joining in on it even if you're currently too busy for things!

I'm intimidated they quality of gifts from last year! This looks like such a great even.

Oh don't worry about that! Most people are in it for the fun and I personally enjoy hunting for specific stuff as much as I enjoy seeing what I got!

@Letric Yessir.

1991 model Florsheim shell Yumas for the price of a pizza...slice. They sat for a least a week at this store, never saw them, marked down half price, and had a 25% coupon today.

10.5 E and available.

Conservatively worth $250-300. Nice!

I found a handful of Eton shirts today and not a single one had a broken button. This may not seem like anything but I’ve found and sold at least 20 of them and have never seen one without at least one, and usually half, of the buttons broken.

Also a question; is this still the most current Zegna shirt label?

 

[silverwarebandit]

Yeah that’s the current label.

will it at least be hand-shaped lumps of artisanal coal from a mine near Sheffield where all the workers are 25-year old women who are former gymnasts and have PhDs?

I know what @silverwarebandit got; a suit that won't be yours. I approve.

fine...

It’s the 2012 Romanian Olympic team, and they’re being held against their will by @Purplelabel in a house decorated entirely with purple.

Coal mining just got interesting. . . .
