What cool stuff have you found recently?
« on: August 15, 2010, 08:10:34 PM »
i am wondering, what cool stuff have you found at goodwill, or any kind of thrift store, half-price books, garage sale, or ebay?

i bought a bunch of stuff tonight from a half-price book store... i got RECORDS... Billy Joel - 52nd Street, The Best of Carly Simon, The GoldFinger Movie Soundtrack (and it has pictures on the back of Sean Connery when he was young and HOT), Madonna - Like a Virgin, Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison, and Elton John - Greatest Hits. These were all for 50 cents a piece except the GoldFinger one and Johnny Cash one, which were a buck a piece. i don't even own a record player yet, but i'm going to try and find one now! i also picked up Fighting Slave of Gor for 5 bucks :) now i own the first 15 in that series.

i also got my current cell phone on ebay for $27 something, which INCLUDED shipping. it was not new, but i didn't care. it works just fine. the same phone, brand new on the original company's website advertised it for $50 plus shipping. i'll stop at that because i've bought all sorts of stuff on ebay :)

I love Goodwill. We also have Plato's Closet that buys and sells teen clothes and accessories. My daughter and I are the Queens of bargain shopping. Since we live in a college town it is possible to find new designer purses and clothing with the original store tags on them for sale at Plato's Closet for under $50.00. Sorority/college girls want money for spring break and anything can be found. some of our finds are (originals and not knockoffs) are: True Religion jeans, 2 Coach purses, Fendi clutch, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and a Dooney & Bourke wallet. My daughter also found a lot of things for her new apartment. LOL...I think Goodwill is one of her favorite stores.

But my best deal of all came from Goodwill.....and being an Antique dealer at one time I couldn't wait to get out of Goodwill and have my treasure appraised.
I paid $5.00 each for 2 original Currier and Ives Print one is valued at over $5000.00!!!!!! I have never found another deal like that one, but I always look and keep my fingers crossed.

It wasn't at a thrift store, but I found out I still have an active account on these forums. Does that count? ;)
