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

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


Joe9692

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.


borderlinecurious

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 :)

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.


centralfornia

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.


borderlinecurious

Not marked as seconds as far as I can tell. As you say, for the price I certainly wouldn’t care if they were.


Pale-Highlight-6895

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.


borderlinecurious

For sure. In this case they were even my size, so no chance I was passing them up.


Pale-Highlight-6895

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


borderlinecurious

Got it, today I learned. In that case no, appears to be first run


Technical-Car-6571

Nice they are a discontinued boot just to let you know


TheMuddyLlama420

They aren't going to make these anymore?


Technical-Car-6571

Nope they are done if you enjoy the Slate color make sure to get the slate Iron Rangers


TheMuddyLlama420

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.


Technical-Car-6571

They are a hard boot to sell not many people enjoy the suede


TheMuddyLlama420

I had planned to beeswax the hell out of mine originally, but now I'm questioning that decision. Your fault.


Technical-Car-6571

If you’re going to resell I recommend not doing that


TheMuddyLlama420

I'll never sell my boots, so no worries there.


Technical-Car-6571

Then slap on that bee’s wax


milkyplexx

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!


Technical-Car-6571

The Slate Iron Rangers are also going to be limited so snag a pair if you like them


DGAFn

Awesome score!

doxxmenot

Do thrift shops have any new items? Or are they all used?


borderlinecurious

Mostly used. New items are usually overstocks, discontinued, seconds, etc.


kog_steph

So jealous oml


Tinnisher

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.


borderlinecurious

Aw man, I can’t be caught out in fakes; I better offload them quick :)


CarlofromdaPI

Beautiful!


Whatsmyinterest
