Secondhand bargains, let's see your cheap treasures!

Was that a thrift price or is that their price point ?
I love the bag but not sure about the Fly.
What’s up with that ?

It's the thrift price...and it was $10..thumb slipped.
They don't fit as well as they should unfortunately.
They are called Yama ankle boots.
I did have to replace the laces.

I found some great home items. I’ve been slowly changing out wall hangings. We renovated 7 years ago and it’s time for a change.

The pottery bird could be a potpourri holder?

There aren’t any other openings, maybe?

You can do both. Use it for a season, then sell. I don't like to keep wool items around too long because I'm afraid they'll get eaten my moths even though I have cedar blocks in my closets.

Good idea, Whateve! I don't find cashmere Burberry items too often and the colors on this scarf are nice.

The small ones with tiny holes are often vintage canapé servers (bc every party buffet should include treats on toothpicks!) or actual toothpick holders. But this pretty guy… silk flowers… maybe?

Ooooh!! That sounds pretty!

I forgot that I went to the SalVal twice this week and leave things in the car, don’t ask lol!

I don’t know what this is but it folds flat and opens to hold “something” I liked it and thought it was nice




Bottom pic is looking down to the bottom.

I love seeing these...but the ones I see are always broken.

It might be a fruit holder. It is shaped like an apple and the pic on the bottom shows cherries. When it isn’t being used it folds flush for storage.

as it is, I had seen something on the Internet about goodwill stuff possibly bringing bedbugs into your home. since the items are all mixed up, rather than from one source, I could see how this might be more likely to happen. I bought a RM bag from a Goodwlll auction and was paranoid about it.
But for those who like this and get the great deals, good for you

I've heard you should never buy soft furnishings. Hard furniture is fine. I have a stand mixer I bought from a thrift. Even though I thoroughly cleaned it, it took a long time before I felt really comfortable using it.

In the past I bought lovely furniture second hand including soft furniture brands like Baker and Henredon off of Craigslist. Due to the rampant increase in bedbugs, I’d never risk it now.

And I can’t do any thrifting if the location or items are stinky, dirty. Thrifting is my fun hobby - not a path to suffering.

I imagine you see some interesting characters shopping there

Probably just like us characters here on this thread.

I have had great luck on Facebook marketplace. I got 3 Stiffel lamps for $10 each. 2 Ethan Allen Cherry end tables for $40. A brand new Kitchenaide toaster oven for $50 ( $200 at Walmart which had the best price ), a wicker loveseat with cushions and a matching table for $40 and so much more.

Thank you!! I was wondering the same but I didn’t notice it was shaped like an apple, good eye!

Wow you found great deals! I always peruse marketplace too.

Not a great thrift bargain but a consignment find at $60.00.
Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this brand “Fly London”?
I can’t seem to find out much about it but I sure love the bag!
