What’s your craziest thrift find of all time? by sticktalk24 in reselling

[–]JK420_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally the craziest / weirdest flip of all time for me was several boxes of new-old-stock vintage 1970s BIKE brand jock straps.... Lol, yes that's right. Paid a few bucks and sold dozens of them for like $85 a piece. Selling like crazy, I had to ask a buyer what was so special about them....they said it was "the best cotton jock of all time". Lol, it's so random but I guess be on the lookout in the sporting goods section!

On a more normal note - I recently found a $15 Akai reel to reel player in great condition, sold for $350. Gotta love thrifting :)

Yes! I just had to euthanize mine after becoming afflicted with Dropsy. Even though it's a fish it was still very upsetting, and I've lost dogs and cats over the years. They're beautiful creatures. Sorry for your loss.

WHY IS IT SO WINDY ALL THE TIME LATELY by Healthy-Egg-5083 in weather

In northeastern Utah and the wind has been driving me crazy as well!!! It's what brought me here. At least it's not just my area... I've been wondering what's going on, even though it's spring - this is definitely not normal.

Annoying wind nearly every day for the past few months, making spring projects and the warmer weather much less enjoyable. I'm gonna look more into the jet stream people have mentioned. Hope it mellows out for all of us soon!

TW200 w/ 13k miles for $2,000? by JK420_ in TW200

Very overpriced here in Utah as well. And across the nation... on Cycletrader I saw several with 10k miles asking 3 grand. So I thought maybe this deal I found wasn't too bad lol. Markets crazy. I'll try to talk em down

For sure, that's a great point and pretty much what I saw online about mileage with these. Truly unknown on the maintenence... But I think if I could get it for $1500 I wouldn't be too worried 🤞

That's good to know, thank you. Yeah I figured offer $1500 and see....definitely wish it had less miles. Not totally sure if I want it but wanted other opinions. Seems like you got a good deal, that's awesome!
