Thrift Store Scores

[Seul]

Displaying some IH, Trophy, Albam and Bleu de Paname

I didn’t realize how big it is…the clothes put everything in perspective and I can see why it was so tough to move.

[Seul]

Heavy old alarm clock... Orange and mint green... Four €... Alarm works really, REALLY well... And it keeps going! I found that out whilst winding it up in the store...

[Seul]

I've never ever wanted to throw something through the room as much as that clock, btw... Maybe someday I can clock a burglar with it!
(If I time my throw well enough...)

[GraemeE]

Clock is rad
Well executed wordplay is extra credit

[Seul]

Hexagon shaped table. Six different inlays on the panels. Absolutely perfect for my new plant...

[A Former User]

@Seul that’s a nice score!

Horse expo consignment shop find today.

Durango pack boots barely worn
Welted Vibram soles with very little wear. Not sure about the kilties but I may buck up and try them in the saddle.

Well spent $40

[Matt]

Holy shit Jeff. Well spent indeed.

@jordanscollected these are stunning, unbelievable score.

[Seul]

Serax porcelain and Thomas (vintage German ceramics and porcelain brand) plate. And it's time to brush up on my French so... Side dish of Camus...

Spent: 3.5€.

@Seul you’re on fire. I havent found a decent score in years but last time it was a really cool primitive milking stool. Flipped it and made some quick cash off it.

[Seul]

I bought this bookcase at the thrift store and whilst re-organising my books I realised 100% of my books are 2ndhand... Neat!..

[Seul]

Flee market. One kgs resin Obélix figurine.

[Aetas]

One kg sounds massive. We need a dummy for size reference ;-).

I think it’s fair to post flea market scores in here, right? I don’t know why but I’ve wanted a type writer for years now Well at my local flea market here in PDX I picked this gem up for $15 and took it for a quick tune up+ribbon (further $20). It feels nice, sounds great and we’ll see if I use it as intended.

[Mizmazzle]

@Inorganic you should start a pen pals thread and get a mail correspondence going. That thing is sweet!

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic is it bad form to ask which flea market you go to?
I'm always looking for new spots to check out in the Portland area

[Inorganic]

@Mizmazzle ha! I am going to type a letter to my parents and see how much of a pain that is. I haven’t had a pen pal since the 90’s. Is that still a thing anymore? It would be cool for my son to try that.

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE no problem at all. I go to the Eagles market every Sunday pretty much. Have been going for over a decade now (even found a $30 pair of wesco’s 6yrs ago!!) It’s in a sad state now vs it’s glory days (ie lots of stolen stuff & a reflection of Portland’s woes as of late) but there are a few gems to be found from time to time. It’s from ~7a-1pm, Sundays @N Lombard & N Exeter up in St Johns. Come thru & let me know when you do if you wanna check it out - or let me know what you score!
