The OFFICIAL Thrift Store SCORE! Thread

Bump.

So this afternoon i'm on my way to a friends house for his birthday bbq when i jokingly make a comment about picking up some lawnchairs at a garage sale for the afternoon. As luck would have it, a family four houses away is having garage sale, and has a stack of plastic lawn chairs for sale. I make a joke about stopping to buy them, but we continue on to the party. Upon entering the back yard I notice there is a serious lack of chairs and run back up the street.

Korean lady at the housetells me "four chairs, two dollah." and I think great. But I don't have a toonie. Just a five. Then I three pairs of skis sitting on the grass and I ask "how much for the skis?" She tells me "$10 for all three." But I only want the grey ones. "Three dollah." Great, $2 for chairs, and $3 for a pair of skis. SO I hand her a crisp five dollah bill and run back down the street with my new purchases.

So what did $3 get me?

He shoots.... he SCORES!!!!!! 14-20

mmmmmm............ all metal goodness.

i really gotta stop by yard sales more often. nice find

I just recently found a pair of Koflach Oxygens at the thift store store down the street form my house. They're basically a lace-up hard snowboard boot long discontinued and now you can't get anything quite like it. Think koflach arctis but stiffer with a much higher cuff. Accepts an automatic crampon and as warm and dry as a plastic boot yet can be strapped into a regular snowboard binding.

Stoked. Been looking for a pair for years - ebay, etc. - and lo and behold there's a pair in my size and brand new - still have the little rubber nubbie things on the sole. Can't wait to give em a try next year. We'll see how they ride.

think your new knee will really need 14-20's??? or are they for Mrs, CA?

^^^Yeah, since DIN set at 12+no footbeds=toasted knee I wasn't really planning on using these.


I was actually thinking about donating these to our sitskiers on the board.

i bought a nes golf game for $2

Neighbors in Golden have a pile of stuff on the street marked "For Free". In the pile was a pair of 170-ish Nordica 9.1MFs with 12-din Solly demo clamps.

Anybody need a father-in-law ski? Anybody want me to grab these?

Got these for $4.00 this morning @ a yard sale. My daughter Eden, 13, is holding them.

Real, old, wooden skis are getting increasingly difficult to find, even in Jackson. Guy said the teleskied in some pow a few years ago on them and they were fine...Attachment 63375
