The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

...and 9 Vintage Brannock Devices - 2 Mens, 2 Athletic Men/Women, 5 Junior. Two were branded. One Men's was for Nunn Bush, and one juniors was for Buster Brown Shoes...

W.T.F.? You know that one's enough, right? And it's something of a single use item. Measure once. After that, then what? Are they flippable?

Hey, that's me. WTF man! Are you saying those paintings are worth money? I left them...

It seems I could average about $30 a piece for them, but some go for nearly $100...on the flip side a few have recently sold for around 15 bucks. Even so $15 would still be a profit.

Not much today.

Another pair of cufflinks, making 20 pairs within the last week.
Another pair of Zanellas, size 36 Brownish, Double pleated/cuffed
and 9 Vintage Brannock Devices - 2 Mens, 2 Athletic Men/Women, 5 Junior. Two were branded. One Men's was for Nunn Bush, and one juniors was for Buster Brown Shoes.

Oh yeah, and an Underwood-Olivetti Portable Typewriter


P.S. While I'm on the cufflink topic, still looking for somone named George to take these George cufflinks off my hands.

so remember the Peugeot Bike i missed out on because of the cigarettes?
went back to the same store today and the guy that bought it traded me a mountain bike i bought,check out the brass work on this saddle.
bike made in france,saddle made in england.total cost $29.99...but he traded for the mountain bike which i bought for $10.00.











also another vinatge lamp today,i think i may have a problem...i just cant say no to lamps especially at $2 bucks a piece

Ok, for those of you who wanted to see the cufflinks.
First three groups are gold/bronze finish, fourth is silver finish and lastly silver and black finish.
Fairy certain there are no precious metals in these. Most of them are marked Swank.

Get some neatsfoot oil on that saddle pronto--it looks thirsty. From the pictured distance, the rest of the bike looks not worth keeping, with the possible exception of the pedals--are they Campy? Presuming the pedals aren't Campy or Superbe or something like that, I'd salvage the saddle and re-donate the bike. But that seat is a real find. Should easily fetch a benjamin if you don't want it.

Yeah, that's why I was so amazed to find this one today. I haven't dealt in typewriters for months, but I cant resist the craftsmanship in these things. I know i still have 5 or 6 other portables in stock. I need to break them out and move the inventory. I need more space for shoes.
