Recent Thrift Store Finds

[blue_aardvark]

I've been finding a great many practical things at the thrift stores recently, a case of light bulbs, a new bath mat for the tub, a stereo cabinet, a reversible Adidas jacket, t-shirts, et. al.  But I have found a few noteworthy curiosities.

Thanks!

English. And there's no setup option to select another language. I'm leaning toward suspecting this is a bootleg, a very well made bootleg, but a bootleg nonetheless.

nice score. I'll be visiting my fav thrift store soon.. Still looking for the waffle iron and vintage space toys.

Thanks. Yes, now is the time to hit the thrift stores--right after the glut of end of year donations.

I have donated far more than I usually do, but my place was getting out of hand. It was mostly stuff my kid had outgrown and no longer used. As much as I don't really have the open space, I still love thrifting for items that I know I will use. I feel like books and kitchen supplies can never be over-done.

The Pope looks like he wants o beat the shit out of me..

Also bootleg Friends! *high fives* that better have hilarious inaccurate subtitles with it :D

[blue_aardvark]

Inaccurate subtitles would be so cool. But no, there's only English subtitles--yet another reason to think these are bootlegs!

Daww the subtitles are the best part of the bootleg. Don't worry I have seen official releases have dodgy subs as well like for a Bollywood movie I have called Ra.One, they are speaking English at the time and the subs don't even match...

Dang, I can't rent Blood Sisters from Netflix. They have a huge selection, but not everything.

It's great that you value these things. As a culture we don't appreciate old things nearly enough.

And many things from the past are actually better/cheaper their modern day counterparts, e.g., the double edge safety razor.

It is weird. ;)
