got out of work early today, as I normally do on Fridays. I decided to go hit my normal thrift store loop, of course when I started to head towards my first thrift store I realized that my phone was dead as a doornail. Well when your on call for ied response, having your phone dead is a big no no. SOOOOO I decided to head home to look for my charger, and drop off a few packages at the post office. Once I found my charger and dropped of my package, I was off to my first thrift store.
Goodwill #1
1950s hollywood regency mad men goose neck cone desk lamp to go along
with another one I found on my previous 150 mile road trip.
( Now I have two of them to clean)
1950s industrial goose neck desk lamp, it says something about a writers lamp or
some thing like that on it.
A vintage woolrich hunting jacket which is NICE! Should be worth some money.
By the time I found these two items my hands were full. Call my superstitious, but I never grab a cart when I first walk into a thrift store. ( If I do that I won't find a darn thing)
I try to rifle through stuff with my hands full, but decide its safer for my lamps, and other customers, if I go find a cart.
I grab my cart, and shoot through the store without finding anything else. I pay for my finds, throw them in the car, and head to the next goodwill.
Goodwill #2
Vintage Duchin compote with a sterling silver base. Score!
Gorgeous syroco gold gilt filigree sunburst 8 day clock. I love syroco stuff so this made
me very happy.
I took a look around the rest of the store, and didn't find anything else worth reporting.
Jacob's thrift store - Nothing to report.
Value Village
Donkey Kong Country SNES video game
Kirby Super Star SNES - Which is actually worth some money
Krusty's Funhouse SNES
Super Nintendo, which turned out to be broken, but I can still sell it no problem.
Super Mario World, which ALSO turned out to be broken, but I can take it back
Weighted PEWTER candlestick, which I thought was weighted STERLING until I got
home. I will be taking this back too.
St. Vincent De Paul #1 - Big fat skunk
St. Vincent De Paul #2 - Bigger fat skunk... God hates me...
Goodwill #3 - Biggest skunk, time to go home...
Well before I started off for home, I stopped over at a local new and used store, and did some research. I found some stuff that I COULD have turned a profit on, but didn't have my reach backs so I didn't buy them. They had some really nice hollywood regency lamps there, only $30.00 for the pair. I am thinking I should have bought them. The only problem is that they were huge. UGH I may have to go back and pick them up.
Anyways I did pretty well today over all. I still have a TON of stuff to list this weekend.
