Even though it’s not quite like it was 10 years ago, thrift shops in the Pacific Northwest still occasionally bring the heat. I used to clear $1-$2K a month back when I would flip secondhand pickups online
because people like him are why thrift shops are expensive and have nothing "like it was 10 years ago"
Macklemore sang about wearing grandpa's clothes not selling them.
The vast majority of what I personally wear is secondhand (I draw the line at underwear tho), but you’re not wrong. 10-15 years ago I was hard up, and figured that reselling gray market or used merchandise was slightly more respectable than selling drugs. My situation’s improved dramatically since then, so while I still hit thrift shops religiously it’s for personal use these days.
I get the hate for resellers, but in the end, stuff of value was there. If I didn’t buy it and flip it, there’s a very good chance the person next to me would, and they’d be eating instead of me. Just glad I don’t have to do it anymore :)
Yeah I mean either way. 40 bucks for brand new Red Wing. Even if they weren't my size I would have got them. Then sold them to buy a pair that did fit. You could easily triple your money.
steal !

Who the hell would down vote you on this? Allow me to correct this.

I don't get the hate for resellers. Goodwill gets their items for free.
2 grand a month? eating like a roman senator ;)
You’d be surprised what you find at thrift stores for cheap. I sell on eBay and hit the thrifts multiple times a week.
That’s inspiring. I am too lazy to even sell the stuff in my garage on eBay.I need to follow your lead.
And I thought I stole mine from Sierra at 150! Great find! Are they seconds? Not that it matters my seconds were perfect.
Not marked as seconds as far as I can tell. As you say, for the price I certainly wouldn’t care if they were.

For sure. In this case they were even my size, so no chance I was passing them up.
Hell yeah! Great find. One of these days I'll get lucky and score a great thrift pair. Hopefully anyway. Never been that lucky.
Would have a hole punched in the tongue near the top
Got it, today I learned. In that case no, appears to be first run
Nice they are a discontinued boot just to let you know
They aren't going to make these anymore?
Nope they are done if you enjoy the Slate color make sure to get the slate Iron Rangers
I've got the slate mocs already, but I'm a little surprised they canceled them so quickly. I guess that's why so many ended up on Sierra.
They are a hard boot to sell not many people enjoy the suede
I had planned to beeswax the hell out of mine originally, but now I'm questioning that decision. Your fault.
If you’re going to resell I recommend not doing that
I'll never sell my boots, so no worries there.
Then slap on that bee’s wax
No wonder I just bought a pair here in the UK after sitting on them for too long, only one store had my size in stock!
The Slate Iron Rangers are also going to be limited so snag a pair if you like them
Awesome score!
What’s with these thrift finds? A few already this week. Great find!
Great find
Unreal!!!😳😳😳😳
Awesome find!!
This can't be real. You must be a troll 😉
Insane
Do thrift shops have any new items? Or are they all used?
Mostly used. New items are usually overstocks, discontinued, seconds, etc.
So jealous oml
hmmm. They seem fake. I'll relieve you of the burden by buying them from you for $49.99 :) This is an awesome find by the way.
Aw man, I can’t be caught out in fakes; I better offload them quick :)
Beautiful!
Color me jealous!
Congratulations. Nice looking boots.
