Post pictures of good bargains from goodwill and other cheap places
Post pictures of your goffy clothes. Show the newbies that you can really get good clothes from da bargain bin yo. Show off your stuff! ^__^
I got this thing from a Dollar General for only 8 dollars. I still dont know what to do with it.
That was fifteen dollars which I think was a little too much.
I got that from goodwill for only three fifteh.

We don't have goodwill here. We just have Charity shops really. I haven't any notable purchases from them to show, but I will show this because I am so pleased with it:
I got THIS in Birmingham rag market for £35!!!! It's hardly worn at all, so for that price I couldn't leave it behind. I'm going to get it professionally painted/airbrushed with a Sisters backpiece if I can. I am all for DIY but it was such a steal that I do NOT want to fuck it up by painting it myself. I doubt I will get a decent leather jacket that actually fits me for a price like that again.

This is a good thread.
Why have not got a thread like this already?
I have a few things to post actually.
I'll get pictures later.

I always get so frustrated at good will. They never have my odd size.

I have a 26-28 inch waist.
Exceedingly long legs.
A 36 inch chest.
And long as hell arms.
I have to get everything in girls sizes.
Not that I'm complaining.

From one guy who doesn't fit into regular mens' sizes to another: all the interesting stuff at thrift stores is in the womens' section anyway...

Yer I'll agree with that.

I get my blazers for patching up from op shops, and have found a few cool skirts too. Most things are way too big for me though, but that's the same in all shops. Size XXS is hard to find, which is where sewing comes in handy.
I might post pictures if I ever get round to taking any.

No camera at the moment so i can't take any pictures of it...but i got this Logitech TrackMan Marble FX from Goodwill for $4.
Not sure if the price on Amazon is actually how much they are going for these days. But i was surprised to see those prices on there when i went searching for drivers.

I haven't got pictures of any of the stuff, but I got a pair of great lace-up boots in Canada for about $15, if I remember correctly.
I've also purchased a very nice black floor length skirt, another knee length one and several lace tops, all from charity shops/vintage stores.
