Led Zeppelin IV, first pressing, near mint. one dollar. I'm so glad the old ladies who ran the store had absolutely no idea what is was worth.

You lucky lucky guy!!!!! FUUHHH All we have in our thrift shops when it comes to vinyl is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and oh so much Barbara Streisand. In order to find good vinyl, you have to go to the swap meet, here. Costs a bit more but has super awesome vinyl and N64 game finds.

Lucky bastard. I've been looking for a cheap ski rack set up for so long. Why are they so damn expensive?

I got it for $2, believe it or not, these sell for about 100-150 on ebay. I'd be damned to spend that much on a hat though. N

sorry to burst your bubble, but they sell for more like $60. $100-$150 may be the asking price, but they're selling for about half that. don't get me wrong that's a high price for a hat, but your numbers are a tad bit off.

Oh no offence taken at all, the value of the hat means very little to me. I just searched on ebay very lightly after i bought it out of curiosity.

my good friend Lauran's sister married the son of the founder of Value Village.

They have so much money. I mean think about that business model-- selling products you don't even have to pay for. And Value Village isn't like goodwill, they don't give shit to charity, they're just straight up for profit. They have a warehouse style garage in downtown Bellevue just to hold their assortment of expensive sports cars. I went into her closet in her house and she has probably 250 pairs of Jimmy Choos and Louboutins.

My buddy went to a thrift shop in CO and somehow found some Armadas in nice condition. I don't know who the fuck gives Armada skis to thrift shops but pretty sweet for him.

i managed to pretty much fill my closet with ysl and j crew shirts, none of which have cost me more than $10.

not sure what it is about my hometown, but people must have a lot of money kickin around to just give stuff like that away to the goodwill when it's still minty.

Great find but my brothers girlfriend paid 60 bucks for a 2000 dollar Chanel vest. She checked the numbers on the tag and it checks out that its legit. Worth 600 as it sits but she refuses to sell it.... Women
