Holy cow Tomsmom!!! Tell me everything! When did you know it was authentic? How many beats did your heart skip? Was there someone stalking you in hopes you will put it down? Did you do a dance?
it’s glorious and I can not believe that price. Good for you, enjoy it in good health and post more pics once she is fixed up.

I held it and it just felt “right” then I opened it and saw the sticker. No one saw it but me, it was in a cart with other bags to be put out and I was getting ready to leave buy once I saw the cart of bags I just had to stop and look...you know...

The I interior isn’t in that good shape, but it’s usable. The part where the chain strap slides through under the flap was broken so that was repaired and the leather under the chain strap was broken so that was repaired as well. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the flakey interior.

Some recent finds: jimmy choos, miu mius, gucci boots (Topy’ d so no one saw the label on the bottom). Friendly reminder to always check under the insert people stick on inside the shoe! A mackage, miu miu, Burberry London, and Hermes Constance purse. Not sure on authenticity but @SakuraSakura ‘s recent experience is making me think twice on checking with the other threads. Oh and a Hermes tie for my man. He better like it.

Although I'm not one to be heavily influenced by others in terms of behavioural patterns, that experience has made me re-consider how and where I share my finds. I think it's one of the reasons why I haven't been posting as much. Words definitely do hurt.

One of the things I noticed about the Marc Jacobs tote is that the serial number I type in leads to the same bag but the one I have only has long straps. Does this still mean it’s the same bag but a different variation?

There is a place I go to has a free section and I got two Haworth office chairs, eight at&t cordless phones and three electronic typewriters: one Brother and two Smith-Corona. i will use one typewriter at work, one for my office and the other I will put in my attic.

My only "expensive" find was two Tiffany and Co candleholders for twenty dollars

Just popping in since I haven't been on this forum since 2018! Where has the time gone?!

I miss thrifting terribly so I've just gone through all of the 2020 posts just now to fill the void. I haven't thrifted anything in what feels like ages. I find it's just not as good as it used to be and way more expensive.

Not much to show.
Bought a lambskin jacket for $8NZ...sold for $60
But lately Ive been getting some very little jewelry treasures. Not big names...just nice little things for me.
From left to right...a little natural cats eye bracelet for nz$8 but using a coupon cost me $1, a Park Lance layered necklace for $4 stll on the website for NZ$58 , little 18kgplated arrow necklace for $4 only plated but I like how it feels, a Italy 925 chain with malachite pendant for $4 and today an Oroton plated14kgp chain. Yes they are plated but for $4 great value to me.
