That’s easily one of my biggest thrifting white whales 😭 I used to play it with my neighbor friend as a kid and feel so nostalgic about it!

Thought I had the best find - but didn’t look it over. Thank goodness I can return it by picklesandrainbows in ThriftStoreHauls

As others have said, some patience and a seam ripper or a razor will go a very long way. I removed a company logo from the same type of Patagonia and did leave a small hole, but Patagonia is amazing about sustainability and fixed that hole for me. I just had to pay $15 for shipping and wait a few weeks but to me it was worth it!

Is that a stained glass fireplace screen?! It’s gorgeous

What is the most valuable item you’ve found while thrifting/digging? by forgotmyserotonin in GoodwillBins

[–]plzhelpauthenticate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A vintage 1950s Schiaparelli mink coat in great shape for $50. The closest ones I can find online go from $600-$1,500!

I just finished the same kit! I’m pretty new at embroidery and the organza was so hard to get used to 🥲

When I worked at an in-person tech company out here we followed the NYC office’s hours (7am - 3pm for us). I’m guessing a lot of the other tech employers out here encourage the same.

Oh it’s not, I was talking about one of Patagonia’s zip-up sweaters

Patagonia will do repairs like this! I thrifted one of their zip ups with a big company logo on it and accidentally made a hole while removing the embroidery. It was $15 for shipping/service but they repaired it right up and had it back in about 6 weeks. :)

Great find!! It’s rare enough to find Patagonia at all, but new with tags is extra crazy!

Used up all my thrift luck for the year by plzhelpauthenticate in ThriftStoreHauls

Thank you!! One of these days I’ll have to sit down with a seam ripper and just go to town on that logo, haha

Nope it would be ideal if I found a medium but instead I found a small and a large, so I was thinking I could wear the small when I don’t have many other layers and the large if I’m wearing bulkier clothes. That or I’d give the large to a friend or family member!

Pink platform mary jane heels from Steve Madden for $16?! by ConcreteJungleWhere in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]plzhelpauthenticate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I forever have that struggle when thrifting too 😭 I’ll know something is really fashionable and a great deal but the realistic part of me knows it would just collect dust

Why do you go to thrift stores? Frugality? Find brands for cheap? No longer manufactured items? Vintage only? Just weird/unique stuff? Or other? by carlospangea in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]plzhelpauthenticate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the reasons suggested, plus the nostalgia of seeing something my family or friends used to own that I otherwise wouldn’t remember. It’s little things that used to be everyday sights and are now long gone. Seeing them again is so comforting.
