The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[AndroFan]

I've always been a strong advocate of the noobizor school of poasting, so without further ado, I present...

"Dr. Surprise Haul"

OR

"How I learned to stop worrying and love the thrift"

​

Ok, so like everyone else in this thread lately, I told myself I need to ferserious cut back on thrifting. I've been spending way too much time on it and I've amassed way too much stuff, so I resolved not to pick up anymore stuff for awhile. I really, seriously, sincerely, honestly, and all the other "ly's" didn't intend to go thrifting at all this weekend. But I had to meet up with this dude today in a city pretty far from where I live and the dude showed up like 45 mins late, which pissed me off. So I said I'd go to GW to blow of a little steam. But I realize it's 8:30 and they're closing in less than 30 minutes.

well, at least that means I can't do much damage, so that's good...



​

BEEN HAD gorgeous Corneliani for PRL (awwww yeah, silk/flax/wool, what what!!)




AWWW yeah, git dat rare Piatelli




Can anyone tell me, is this made by Samuelsohn? It's made in Canada and kind of looks like the Samuelsohn tag to me, though I'm really not sure.





FINALLY a solid fabric navy suit IN MY SIZE (!!!!!). Fits like a M-Fin dream, and is utterly flawless despite being 18 years old.




BEEN HAD...



BEEN HAD...




BEEN HAD THIS GUY:









Oh, you thought we were finished? Nawwww...



​

Unpictured: Brooks Bros grey staple suit, gorgeous recent Brooks Bros. green with check 3 btn SC, 2x Brooks Bros staple shirts, Paul Stuart brown repp tie.

All this **** was snagged within 20 minutes since the store was closing.

I went outside and was immediately all like...


​

All except the Norman Hilton in my size tentatively available, awaiting some doods who get priority dibs.

Well ****.

I don't know what I was thinking - Bonehead moment - SW&D is out of my element.

You'll probably be able to get your money back - or maybe even make an inconsequential amount of profit - with some good pictures.

The issue with 7FAM/etc is that they don't appeal to people who are into denim/SW&D. There's a high MSRP, but I doubt they sell a ton of stuff at that price point. I think they mostly end up in piles at Nordstrom rack.

 

[Everett464]

Yeah - it looks like money back on Ebay should be doable. Lesson Learned.

true but Nordy Rack still prices them at $99-$119 and they rarely mark them down further if that's any consolation.

I do not think Seven for all Mankind are that bad at $25 if for personal use. For flipping round these shores, tough, SF is a hard crowd to please. I can only see you breaking even on the Bay as well.

Nevermind huh, I made this mistake with a pair of True Religion jeans. Suck it up and move on. Minimum jean level for flippability probably Diesel for me, although some Levis models are worthwhile grabbing.

 

[Sonorously]

It just so happens they are. Want?

I'm interested.

Check for a real leather patch on levi's, rather than that cheap papery ones they use on most jeans. Then look at the size tag for something like this:



Levi's mainline is all but worthless, but Levi's Vintage Clothing (tag shown) is great and even Levi's Made and Crafted is probably worth a flip.

Could it be...





Be still my heart.

The Hermes tie is a fake. Genuine Hermes ties' labels never contain the name Hermes on it nor the word Paris. (Sorry.)

Not true, though someone confidently makes this pronouncement once a week or so. Do your homework; it's a "heavy silk" tie and is real.

+1

 

[VLSI]

Real/fake? First NWT item




Also found this gaudy tie

PM sent, bring the Boss home! Reminder to anyone - I want 80's concert t shirts.
YO. YO. The Gucci shoes at $1525 are even blowing my mind. I thought like Brianpore, $500 at the max. DAYUM. You go, acosbysweater!

B. Pore. You aren't ******* with the greatest. Consign your blazer via Spoo and you will get the caish.

Also, been had $7 Yamamoto wool/viscose vests:

Awwww sooky sooky, look at that sleuth work!

[VLSI]

Spoo, what's the lowest level of item that you consign?

 

[SpooPoker]



Spoo, what's the lowest level of item that you consign?

You mean in terms of branding? Depends really, you see what I sell, so I prefer to keep the aesthetic of my store consistent. However, Im not above throwing in a donut if its going to bring some cash.

That would be Peerless Mnfg. Makers of Chaps, Trump, Sean John, etc........ Nice haul in all. Did you really thrift a Paul Stuart store fixture? Or just borrow the pic for Noobizor dramatic effect?
