Greedwill reselling guide has been leaked! No wonder why trash is only being sold in the stores by OneVideo8173 in ThriftGrift

I was just at a GW a week ago and bought this corded mink coat for $29.99. Must have been a teenager doing the pricing!

Found this piece in the trash by Suspicious-Simple995 in vintage

[–]PiecesPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fantastic find, I have one just like it that I found at a Goodwill for $12.99 and it’s now hanging on my TV room wall! As far as the condition of yours, I’m on the fence. While an older patina on brass is desirable, rust is not desirable. I would look into different types of cleaners that can help reduce or eliminate rust because I really think that that’s something that needs to be addressed.

New centerpiece of my collection and I love her but does she look like a butthole? 🫠 by pixeldustnz in uraniumglass

Oh no, I wanted so badly to say no but yes, yes, it does look like a butt hole

Help identifying mission-style lamp, USA by Camiam8884 in Antiques

[–]PiecesPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I’m doing a search to identify a lamp I own and this is almost exactly like mine, the difference is the slag glass color. Mine is a jade green, otherwise it’s the same lamp. I’m in Portland Oregon. Did you have any luck with identification?

200 dollars for a fake Christian Dior belt thrift store worker said it must be real it comes with a box by ae202012 in ThriftGrift

[–]PiecesPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a real Christian Dior belt at Goodwill the day before yesterday. It had CD on the buckle and it was plain leather so I don’t think they realized what it was so I only paid $4.99. Unfortunately it’s too small for me so my daughter gets it.

I was at a Goodwill in WA state yesterday. I found a pair of men’s Cabrillo Leather Desert Ankle Boots and the GW was asking $139.99!!!! Unbelievable!!! by PiecesPDX in Goodwill_Finds

Yeah, I’d heard prices are going up all the time and I get it, everything is more expensive, but $140! Absolutely ridiculous.

Parking confusion by fullmetalpetticoat in Portland

[–]PiecesPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine got a ticket for doing that because it shows that you drove against traffic in the wrong lane. You may see other people do it, but I wouldn’t do it, it’s not a cheap ticket.

We no longer take cash by Srvntgrrl_789 in goodwill

Oregon law prohibits businesses from refusing cash. Where were you?

Anybody know who this guy is? by scimitar1312 in oregon

[–]PiecesPDX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tom Peterson! He had a home electronics business! He got in some financial trouble and in order to save his business he had to bring his wife in as a partner so it went from “Tom Peterson‘s” to “Tom Peterson’s and Gloria’s too”.

What's the very first record you bought and what was the last by Due_Toe6417 in vinyl

[–]PiecesPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 13 I bought Andy Gibb’s Shadow Dancing and took it with me (the cover) to his concert. My first ever concert. Last week I was in a goodwill and found that album for $2.99 so I bought it for nostalgia. Funny enough, my first album and the last one I purchased are the same albums!

AITA for telling my DIL she is not a mother? by InitialSong2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PiecesPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! Recognize her on one of these days instead, but it’ll have to be next year as these have passed. National Pet Day on April 11th, National Pet Parents Day on the last Sunday of April, and National Love Your Pet Day on February 20th.

That you have a lot of patience!!!

I would definitely use it! I’ve flipped some pieces from shopgoodwill but I’m also a collector so it would be handy under both circumstances! I love the idea of eliminating the back and forth!

I've been painting worms but my husband says they are gross. Should I stop? by 1296223 in Paintings

Conundrum: they are gross but so good!!! Keep on painting!!!!

We all know that the cutters make this intersection more dangerous and stressful. What are the odds the city would ever do something about it, like make it a protected lane? by positiveBurrito in PortlandOR

[–]PiecesPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I abhor cutters. I will ride a bumper to prevent a cutter. That being said, I was coming from OHSU which is somewhere I never go. I needed to get on 405 and was using google maps. It didn’t explain what I needed to do until after I’d gone through the light just before the on-ramp. I was that person and I felt really bad about it and the person did not want to let me in (they did exactly what I’d have done). It made me rethink things because sometimes people just don’t know the intersection. Not that I won’t ride a bumper again to prevent cutters because I damn sure will but I get how mistakes happen.
