The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[tben]

I'm going to bring it to a jeweler to open up. It sounds and moves like an automatic and the numbers are correct.

How about a better picture of the magnifier.

Thrifted me this today, I'm guessing it has to be a fake but I can always dream.. Any help on this would be awesome.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Brooks Brothers cotton 3 roll 2 sportcoat Citigroup umbrella tie. For my rainy days. Can anyone ID the maker

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Not much to go on, but I vote fake simple because the finish work and tolerance of the bracelet looks to be sub-standard. Check the magnification window over the date: it should be perfectly centered. Also compare magnification power--there are examples on the web. If the magnifier is glued on, 100% fake.

On a thrifting/flipping related tangent......


As of this morning, my student loan is


and every penny was from thrifting proceeds.



So I officially got that monkey off my back





But as the late, great George Carlin put it,



Therefore.....


So.....

Bravo! I working toward the exact same goal with my thrifting money, so thank you for the inspiration!

Over the past two weeks I drove to South Carolina from Texas stopping in Birmingham and ATL (And LA to gamble but that's another story) and visited Charleston and Charlotte. My car, a camry, is literally packed so tight I got pulled over for blocked rear-view vision and had jam my trunk pretty hard to get moving. It ranges from the insanely awesome, to the mediocre at insanely awesome prices (literally talking 1-2 dollars for HF/Old Burberry/Canali/etc). I have to go back to work tomorrow and I have no energy to unload the damn car.
