Haha I would if I didnt have so much other **** taking up space that I have yet to sell. I did pick up one of the other Cornelianis there with some other blazers/shirts. But you have to ability to do so much more with the profit margins than I do.

The stapling is killing me. Why do they do this?

Kind of off subject, but did anyone hit up RSD on Saturday?

I tried to go to a record store out in the burbs, and they were already pretty picked over 30 minutes after opening. I left with:

Getz/Gilberto 10" on green
Sun Records Compilation 12"
(2) Flaming Lips 10"s
Simon and Garfunkel original mono version of homeward bound 7'
Everytime I Die 7"

I went to 2 stores looking for White Stripes, Father John Misty, Ryan Adams, and Twenty One Pilots. I came out with none of them. Later in the day I was checking out how horrible the ebay prices were on all of them and I realized that a Twenty One Pilots CD that several of my friends have (that I didn't buy, because I knew my sister bought it, and I was just going to rip the songs) goes between $400-$800 on ebay. My super fan sister said no, one of my friends is desperately looking through all of his belongings, and one friend found his and said, "yes, I would like to make hundreds of dollars on something I paid $5 on 3 years ago." Note that none of the sold listings are signed. This one is.




Thought I'd share this. Inherited this watch from an uncle I only ever met once, almost 10 years ago, at a funeral. Watch people, am I allowed to put a leather band on this? Was eyeing a black shell band on ebay.





I've been working a lot more between my two and a half jobs, trying to find one real job, so I haven't taken a thrifting trip in a while. Limited to stops before and after work mostly. This was a nice pop. Probably an orphan but oh well.

Mixture of thrift, discount and e-thrifts.

Yea, I was going for Bonnie Prince Billy, Father John Misty, and Ryan Adams. I got nothin'. Oh well!

Small ass guys get at me :









I thought they were from the same guys but it seems not.
The gray herringbone (WeirdGuy) is 17 waist, 32.5 inseam.
The blue flannel (SkinnyGuy) is THE SOFTEST MOTHERFUCKING THING I've ever touched. I think it was initially tagged 29 or 30??. Measures 15.75" and 30 inseam (stretchy fabric tho)

A few finds from today, available


HF size 46R with pants, 2 buttons single vented





34x34



On a side note, there's a Martin Hd-28 guitar with its original case for $650. A quick search yielded that its pretty valuable, yet I know absolutely nothing about guitars.

 

[NigelStein]

I'll give you 700 for the guitar if you want to Proxy for me

 

[double00]

They do make fake Martins. Just saying...

 

[NigelStein]

Hey, a man can dream... Pictures hopefully though, if it's real that's a crazy deal

Wound up copping that painting anyhow as I did kind of dig it. But @barrelntrigger @Nataku @Thrift Vader @330ck @amerikajinda if any of you guys can help out with the signature, Id appreciate it!

Also two pops (Fallan and N peal) a lady in a boat, and a pretty damn awesome black linen with gold metallic paisley hand rolled PS for 59 cents for me.

Actually available.

Damn bro, never ever seen Iron Heart jeans in a Japanese resell shop before. Well, there were some used IH shirts but jeans, no, sire!

Talk about being blown away, when I first found them I was kind of...



But then I was like..

Double what I'm used to paying for shoes but with the senior citizen discount, just over one Ulysses for all 3, Yeah dog!

Welcome back, dude!

My credibility here is fucked, I know. First, for those who care, I want to apologize to those I insulted whom in no sense deserved it. I want to apologize to this forum in general, I discredited others finds by being fraudulant with my own, I truly apologize for the dishonesty. I like this forum and I've had the good fortune to meet some great people here. So again, for those that do care, whether you found it personal or found it to discredit others and their hard work, including yourself, I am truly sorry. I am swallowing my pride, coming back with my tail between my legs. ******** up. In return I shall share with you this. The following photos are what 2 days and and 2 stops this morning (one being Marshalls though) will get you in the city of Los Angeles. This is for all those who think this is Mecca for thrifters. I would rate the following at a little better than average. You can check and do your homework if you give a **** to do so, you can ignore this in its entirety if you just don't care, but hand to god, on mi familia, not a single one of the following items, and there are a lot, was purchased online/eBay. 4 ties at Marshalls, the rest strictly thrift stores. I'm spoilering due to sheer quantity. Here goes.

I often tend to skip shirts all together, one thing I'm not thrifting for myself ever.

I also don't really **** with shoes, just not about the whole idea of buying, selling or wearing used footwear, but I saw these Calzoleria Harris for Barneys and had to make a move

Wow, I don't think anyone has ever apologized on here before. Good for you, bro. Crazy ass haul, as always!

Oh hey!





Not sure if real

The fabric looks like ****, bro.
