At the Sal Val today they had a (?authentic?) Birkin. Priced high at 500.00, will be half off on Wednesday. Still pricey but if….if it is authentic will be a steal. I wasn’t able to give it the look over I really wanted due to time constraints. I just want to post to people who “get it” when it comes to thrift finds. 
I purchased a Hermes, paid $89. I didn't know whether it was authentic, took a chance. Well, it wasn't authentic. Still, it's pretty and sitting in a dark space in my room.At the Sal Val today they had a (?authentic?) Birkin. Priced high at 500.00, will be half off on Wednesday.

Hello. I forgot about you guys. Well, I found this super awesome bag today,at the super expensive Thrift Store. I have wanted one since the first time I saw the brand. Apparently they had no idea this bag sells for around $800, because their stuff is usually way expensive. I saw the $60 price tag and thougt haha , it's missing a 0 at the end of that price and snagged it. The brand is Campomaggi. Handmade Italian. Gorgeous leather.
Another gold find.
14k rope necklace for $6

I'd take that right to the place where they buy gold. My friend and I made a fortune in there one day. Not sure how high gold is now, but the day we went it was over $2K/oz.
I sold some last week. Came out pretty good. Started collecting scrap again. I will post.
I purchased a $30 jewelry jar and found, a 14kt Matador and an 18kt band called Orange Blossom. Earlier, I bought a $5 jewelry bag, and it had 12 sterling bracelets.
I miss my old place. It was called “We Buy Gold” and they started their company in ‘09 (when gold hit 1700). They bought for 80% of melt price, and sold for 120% of melt. It was nice because you could estimate to within a few dollars of how much you’d make.
I bought Tiffany gold, Morgan dollars (because the tooth fairy only left coins), and loose gems
The owner retired a few years back, but it was a nice run while it lasted.

Found for $8 NZ at my SPCA store..
Coach Op Art Madison Hobo.
Bit dirty and has scratches on hardware. So used to canvas...so light.
Has a mark I don't think I can get rid of but $8 is nothing.
Finding Coach in my town is hard.
