BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Today's Thrift Find

I thrift almost exclusively suits and shoes. Margin on shirts is too low plus those are usually beat. Allen Edmonds shoes almost always sell quickly and at a good price. I've paid between $5-20 per pair and usually get $75-100.
Outerwear is sometimes good too--bought two Barbour waxed cotton jackets in my last outing--wife kept one and I made $80 on the other.
Suits are a little harder. Gotta stick to brands but not blindly. For example, a Brooks Brothers suit is usually a good bet, but some if their 90's suits are of really low end material. So don't just buy brand, buy brand plus quality materials.
In all things, condition is key. You've got to really carefully look things over. I once bought a gorgeous Burberry suit that fit me like a glove. When I looked at the pants more closely they were TORN UP. Shame--would have been a staple suit. Live and learn. It's a fun hobby.

BTubes--occasionally I will go on a thrifting voyage when I'm visiting my inlaws. Did well one year, struck out (bought like...one item) the next. It's luck.
Though, if I were there when it was open, I've always thought the resale shop at Seven Hills school would be a goldmine

Goodwill can sometimes have hidden gems. Of course I don't have a pic of the one I bought, but I found one of these last month for $12. Not bad for a $165 skillet.
Thanks
Flea Market or Goodwill find. New. It's a deliberate antiqed look. This is one of those overseas manufacturers that try to create their own collectable market. You know the drill.
They are quality coasters have real cork and they're pretty thick and heavy. Hey, maybe they'd look good at your house.
