Thrift Store Scores

[Inorganic]

@scarfmace yeah this skull is rad! From the underside it has elements of a human form which I often trip out on. This is the only taxidermy piece I have, I’d love to see yours.

kind of a lame post since i dont have pics as this was many years ago, but i dont think i have ever topped finding a complete silvertone 1484 at a goodwill. was in school for electronics engineering at the time and my professor helped me get it working. i was young and broke so ended up selling it for rent money years later at a fraction of what they go for now even with the reverb we never could figure out how to get working...i also once found a silvertone bobcat in a dumpster. you guessed it, sold that for peanuts too

I picked up the below with tags at Buffalo Exchange right across the street from Self Edge LA a few years back, $14 for the two. I ended up selling them for a good %, that was for sure.

@Cents-or-Non-Cents that's a crazy good score!

I bought this from a local flee market last weekend:
it's a Campo del Cielo astroid weighing in at about 100 grams

Nice reminder we are all just spacedust, floating around the big void

@Inorganic I have quite a few nice pieces but not gonna photo bomb this tread, here are some of my favorites. If more people collect taxidermy, many we can start a tread?

PS: most of these are thrift shop scores so it's still a bit on topic

[Inorganic]

@scarfmace WHOA!! those are all so rad. We might need to get a thread going - that suspended bird (is it a young chicken?) is amazing...

[scarfmace]

Yup, young chicken ️ good eye.

[cityofdelusion]

Very intriguing! Never thought that I'd be interested in taxidermy...

Thrift store online auction score. Sixties/ seventies space age table.

[scarfmace]

[Aetas]

Looks like you have a theme in your space right now . Looking cool!

[sabergirl]

Very cool, Eli! Fits right in with the rest of the decor

[Inorganic]

@Seul nice score indeed. looks to be in great condition

Picked up this guy today for a few bucks - looks to be early but I'm not great at deciphering the military label codes.
A little too small for me so it may be a catch and release but a cool find all the same

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE that's a good score and looks to be in great condition

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic totally - every once in a while the lone Value Village left in our region comes through with something cool

[GraemeE]

$1 find from the week before holiday madness

[GraemeE]

Greatest hits of t-shirts I thrifted in '23
Some kept for me, my wife or kids.
Some given away to friends.

Where the hell is this thrift store? A Mdou Moctar T?!?!

[GraemeE]

I know.....ridiculous
That was a goodwill find
