#ThriftStore
“It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude.” — H.P. Lovecraft
When you find a #Book at a #ThriftStore and you double take, then Google that this is really a George Orwell book even though you know it's a George Orwell book.

❌ Thrift store underwear
but are thrift store socks in the same area?? 🤔
I mean, wash it in hot enough water surely it kills any kind of bullshit in it??

I can't believe the find here at a local #thriftstore I used to have this one and needed to return it to focus on another priority but it worked very well, no power cord but another from a different #laptop cooler worked no issue, both fans spin. all in all, a totally worth it trip 🙂
i hope everyone got some #sleep over the weekend, i know Lainey did ❤️ meanwhile we were busy restocking in a massive way!! look out for sweet #suede, lots of #leather, and thick #sweaters coming soon in time for the #coldWeather! Today, we put out new #purses and #bags for the first time! We also have lots of great #hoodies, some great #dresses and lots of finds for #halloween - deep in a bin is at least one firefighter uniform!

Me: Hi! Do you have any tea light holders?
Them: Yes! I have this lovely yellow one right here.
Me: I was really hoping to find one that looks more like a sphincter.
Them: You’re not gonna believe this…
New items everyday! Lainey is on the lookout!!
Made my #ThriftStore rounds and found some #movies not #streaming on services I have (or not at all):
* Forbidden Hollywood Collection: Baby Face, Red Headed Woman, and Waterloo Bridge
* Man with the Movie Camera
* In a Lonely Place
The $3 I spent went to the charities running the stores, and I get to see things I wouldn't otherwise.
getting all the love for her unwavering support opening the store
I'm really pleased with my Goodwill find today! I love this blanket!

A #thriftstore #painting cost her $4. It could sell for up to $250,000.

I had a copy of The #Dune Encyclopedia before our house fire a few years ago and I'd been wanting to replace it but it sells for over $200 online.
I found a copy today at the #ThriftStore for 25 cents. 😎
#archiveorg is the virtual equivalent of digging through boxes of records to find a mildly interesting album with atrocious sound quality.
The archivist of this stash transferred the records with an electric hum from the playback device and removed too much crackling and noise, so the record sounds souless and dead. The cover artwork is a blurry, poorly cropped jpg. Available through a wonderful but awfully slow online service - https://archive.org, the #thriftstore #spotify
Today is National Secondhand Wardrobe Day. What has been your most fantastic secondhand wardrobe find?
#Poll #Polls #ThriftStore #SecondHand

Enjoying picking up a few pieces for #autumn in the charity shops in #Naas, Co. #Kildare

Hit up two #garagesales and one #thriftstore today. Garage sales are mostly hit or miss here, but we did alright this time (the prices didn't make us balk at least lmao). Found Tupperware and an iron I'm hoping to replace my teeny plastic traveling one.
The #thrift store prices were more on the "boutique" side, but not horrible; they at least had some better quality items that made sense for the prices. I did score an awesome vintage sweater for $2 because it had a couple of moth holes, which I will embroider over (later, after it's been in the freezer for a bit and washed).
The perfect barbenheimer shirt #barbie #oppenheimer #murica #thriftstore #thriftstore #thriftstorefind
That's why I prefer to buy physical books from thriftstores. Worst case, if it's a double, I can just give it back to them... 😁

there was a time when I hit every #thriftstore in the area and bought anything with #antennas on it to #hack. 😂 #hamradio #hsmmmesh
"Perturbed cat", artist unknown. On temporary display at Local Thrift Shop until someone shows up with €10, strange taste
I bought an ugly TV cabinet from the 90s for $5 today at the secondhand store. I am going to repaint it moss green, get new knobs, and put in shelving to make it into an armoire for the cabin.
Friend and I had a conversation earlier about thrift/2nd hand stores and how ridiculous the pricing is in Finland and Sweden.
Most of the better quality clothes cost almost the same as new same one.
I would really want to buy my clothes in 2nd hand more often but there is no point for me to pay near full price on item I can get as new :/
How are thrift/2nd hand stores in your country?
I tend to wear out a lot of clothes until they are threadbare - mostly because I tend to not have a ton of money to replace them. I still love my #RacerX shirt I found at a #thriftStore in my early 20s.
I still have my two #Incredibles shirts from when the first movie came out as well.
I don't really care much about #CountryMusic in general, but these Kris Kristofferson #CDs really stood out to me at the #ThriftStore today, so I coughed up the buck apiece and brought them home to listen and research. Turns out each of these albums only ever got the one #CD pressing on this One Way imprint (most editions were #LP or #cassette) so they're each worth $15-$25 to the right person.
Not goddamn bad listening either tbh. They'll probably stay in the collection for now !
one year ago, I found a treasure trove of #space posters at the thrift store. some teacher or engineer or someone collected a bunch of promotional and educational posters from #NASA and several of its adjacent subcontractors, and they ended up at the thrift, where I found them for pocket change. they immediately went up on the blank wall in my living room. #astronomy #spaceflight #thrifted #thriftstore #hubble #ISS #spaceshuttle #Astrodon
how is this song TEN years old already? it's still my favorite thrifting jam. i have it as a ringtone.

I had a great #weekend, almost all my chores got done (still haven't started on taxes!) and got a little bit of playtime in too. Saved my first town in Din's Curse. #PCGaming
Also went #thrifting again and got a $6 set of Logitech desktop speakers for my secondary computer, and a cool $2 Johnny Cash t-shirt. #frugal #thriftstore
And #today another USB TV tuner stick should arrive from #eBay for my main #Linux machine. Hope it works!
Big score at #GoodWill - this #thrifted #stargazing apparatus that somehow attaches to your collar via clothespin? THE STARFRAME! What a beaut!
Going to add it to my Wednesday Night UFO Watch arsenal for @wufo! Results to come!

My wife found this 1912 diary of an Ohio Northern University student at a local thrift store and, among the entries, is this note from one of his female friends. Thought it was too good not to share. #OhioNorthernUniversity #ONU #AdaOhio #OhioHistory #ThriftStore #Thrifting #Diary @histodons
Picked up some really nice Prairie Style Art Deco accent lamps for the home office at the local thrift shop. Love them. #Lighting #PrairieStyle #ArtDeco #HomeOffice #ThriftStore #SecondHand
I'll be a attended a 70s themed event on Saturday. Thrifting has me very ready for such a thing! #70s #vintage #clothes #thrifting #ThriftStore
Today's #ThriftStore find... A #Comrex CR-6500 composite monitor. When I first saw it, I thought it was an Amdek Color-1 but, no. It was clearly made by with the same Hitachi molds as the Amdek, though.

I have fiddled with a small #restauration project the last couple of days.
I bought this wonderful Rolce Royce of a tape dispenser in a #ThriftStore a couple of years ago, for the humble sum of 37dkk (~5$/€).
I love it ♥️ it has chrome and fine details, and it reminds me of a classic car … but it needed to TLC.
I took it all apart, cleaned it up and sanded of the rust, repainted in cream and pastel avocado green, buffed up the chrome.
Isn’t it delightfully too much, just for tape?
My #introduction Hi all! New to the platform/instance and coming back after a long social media blackout. I’m a rare book dealer and lifetime horror fan. I’ll likely post about bookish nonsense and movie reviews. Please lmk if I’m doing this wrong.
