Yard Sale / Thrift Store Finds Thread

Why the hell was that shirt worth $400?

The vintage brand and artwork, and the fact that they are highly desired by some sort of Taiwanese sub-culture. The vast majority of them go to Taiwan or to someone from there that lives in the US.

Search "3D Emblem t-shirt" on eBay then sort high to low.

Some of them go for thousands.
 
Some great finds in June/July

$10 for the Nintendo 3DS Xl

$5 for this Gamecube lot. Not pictured: Super Mario Strikers, Gamecube Gameboy Player disc. A half hour after this find I got a Gamecube System (Pokemon XD version) with 4 controllers including the Wavebird for $10.

My favorite local Mom and Pop Thrift is closing forever early September. Incredibly sad to hear that since it was honestly one of the best places for deals in my area. The other Thrift Store I liked moved and became a Vintage Boutique, a shadow of its former self. ><

They could be moving but I doubt it.
 
Didn't realize this thread existed.
Would love to hear your treasure finding stories. I myself haven't done any thrift shopping yet but I am tempted to do it (for large potential return).
 
Got a pile of Blu rays at the local Vinnes a couple of days ago. All $1 each, Rome Season 1, Attack the Block, Walter Mitty, Two Towers, Gatsby and a couple of others, all in perfect shape.
 
Picked up Shenmue II for a $1 at a local Thrift Store by my local library. They dont get games a lot whenever I stop by but I was surprised to see this one just sitting there
 
Threads like this have made me visit a few Good Wills and I've yet to see anything halfway decent. It's always just clothes and old shitty books.
 
Yeah a lot of vintage tees were at best 50/50 or even 80/20. 100% cotton came later.

Yeah, easy tell to help confirm if a shirt is true vintage or not. Even more so is the tri-blend, like is one of the tags I just posted. It's much harder to find those though. I haven't found too terribly many of them.

I went to my local goodwill, and the only thing of note were the 20 copies of Titanic for vhs lol.
 
First time I've found current gen games in a while. $25 total!!!

Not too many yard sales left, but I'm still able to find a few good deals
