THRIFT STORE Locations

Got this cool vintage Seiko at a vintage shop in Akihabara, Tokyo. Does anyone have any other leads? Searching for vintage watches in Google just gives me vintage luxury watches. Thanks in advance!

Hello! The other day while me and my partner were clothes shopping (in a thrift store ofc) we were in the changing room and somehow the topic came of being alternative. My partner is punk, while I consider myself like.. goblincore/vulture culture? I don't really like labels but that's what most people have called me. He told me that he was "more alt than me" and it immediately put a bad taste in my mouth, and now I'm insecure that I don't dress alt enough, regardless of my beliefs or music tastes. I am 17 so I don't have permission to have any tattoos or facial piercings, please keep that in mind when judging. So I guess I'm asking, am I alt enough?

I'm a big fan of secondhand shopping to reuse products instead of consuming new. I live in the UK and always found it frustrating that there's no single place to easily find nearby charity shops, thrift stores, car boot sales, or vintage markets. Google Maps misses loads of them. So I decided to build an app to solve that. It's called Ganddee (free on iOS & Android). I’d love for you to try it out and hear feedback.

Preferably used and reasonably priced. I tried a few thrift stores, a record shop, I called pawn shops. The only place that had a couple was vintage stock and they were in busted cases and they still wanted $15 for a used CD. They're the same price new online, but I am really trying to shop local.

i’m pasting my google review here so i’m not just regurgitating what i’ve already said but **** this place, **** its workers, i’ll never spend another penny there after yesterday. as a block woman, obviously i’ve experience this type of thing before but never so bold and so obvious. she was practically holding my hand and watching my screen while i checked out. i’d love to here if anyone else has experienced the same: DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!!!!!! If you like price gouging, constant crowds of people who don’t understand spatial awareness, and racial profiling, this is the place for you!! I had been shopping here for years. I have a lot of staples from this place and a rewards ac...

I found a framed picture at a thrift store in Richmond, VA today, but it seems a little older and there are multiple frame shop stamps on the back. Is there way to tell if it’s a print or lithograph? I found many sources of this image, is there a way to tell where it originally came from? There is also a hand written number on the back that seems to be a part number, but my google research isn’t turning anything up. I understand this may be more of a Decor question, I’ll post there as well.

Hi all - will be visiting Barcelona in mid October. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for nightlife? I’m a fan of disco, Italo, indie alt music and mainly dance at bars and clubs with vinyl DJs (nightmoves is my favorite spot where I live in Brooklyn, NY). In my late 20s so would appreciate avoiding the younger crowds, too. I’ll also be saving plenty of room in my suitcase for shopping second hand. Drop your favorite thrift store or vintage boutiques below, please! Bonus points for shops that sell old, but still playable, records. Thanks in advance for yr advice!

I live in Orlando - specifically the theme park area - and I'm also a toddler dad. Which means most weekends I'm in the parks. In those glorious moments when my kiddo takes a nap or hops on a two-person ride with mom, I get a little window to shoot a few frames (or a full roll depending on the ride and what's going on). I've also been on the lookout for a Minolta-mount SLR, since my wife already has an X-370 with a decent lens selection. Sharing glass just makes sense. There are about six vintage/pawn/thrift stores between my son's school and home, and I'll usually duck into a few after drop-off or if traffic cooperates in the afternoon. Last week, I made a st...

A brand new episode of Sewing Machine Adventures is out! And this week I'm challenging myself to sew a complete outfit from stuff I find at the charity shop/thrift store!

Set a $1 limit at the thrift store and buy each other the weirdest gift possible. Exchange, explain, and rate. ***** has to buy $1 ice cream

Hi! What are your best recommendations for thrift stores/second hand shops for things like furniture, vases, picture frames etc!

hey Philly, so if you're trying to make some extra cash i put together a list of some side hustles that actually work here. i'm skipping some of the obvious stuff and trying to give you some real ideas. 1. Work the Convention Center. bet you didn't think of this one. check craigslist under the 'gigs' section and search for the pennsylvania convention center. companies need people for a few hours or a few days to be brand ambassadors, help with sales, or just demonstrate products. not gonna lie the pay can be pretty decent money, sometimes like $20 an hour or a flat rate for the event. 2. Mystery Shop at Breweries. yeah you can get paid to drink beer. ...

I recently purchased this vintage machine. I know nothing about it nor do I know anything about old sewing machines. Does anybody have any information on where it would’ve been used? Additionally, if it has any value? Of all places that turned up in a container with other thrift store (charity shop) reject items in Tanzania. Most of the other thrift store items seem to have come from the UK but not certain.

36. **Tattoo Addiction:** - Prompt: In the buzzing ambiance of a tattoo studio, explore the protagonist's contemplation as they navigate the world of tattoo addiction, unraveling the narrative of self-expression, the allure of body art, and the blurred lines between a form of personal storytelling and the risks of impulsive ink choices. 37. **Lucid Dreaming Obsession:** - Prompt: In the surreal landscapes of dreamscapes, delve into the protagonist's contemplation as they navigate the world of lucid dreaming obsession, exposing the narrative of dream control, the desire for alternate realities, and the blurred boundaries between a unique form of self-discovery and the risks...

Edit: I didn't expect so many awesome replies, thank you! I will look at every suggested pack. I *am* shopping for one after all! I decided to get back into day hiking (5–10 miles) a few years ago and couldn't believe my eyes at how backpacks were all apparently pocketless, just smooth things that defied comprehension. In the 90s, our backpacks were loaded with pockets and zippers. You could get to anything you wanted in a second flat. I ended up buying an expensive Osprey backpacking internal frame that I use all the time but it's not designed for what I want. I got it out of desperation. However, it introduced me to what I call "Musketeer mode" where I can s...

I was out and about today for the first time in a few days (I have a job just haven’t been scheduled and am trying to find another job). I wanted to go pick up some hair products but as soon as I stepped outside I thought it was really hot even though it was only 75°??? I get to the hair shop, get my stuff, and leave. I then walk about 13 minutes, in the shade, to the thrift store I knew was nearby. I couldn’t stay longer than 30 minutes because I started to get dizzy, disoriented, and I was shaking really bad. It was so weird. I just felt like I needed to share cause it felt terrible. Does anyone have any tips for what to do if something like that happens?

So you guys didn't actually read the text in the first post, and responded with the same general narrative as one another, so I'm clearly asking the wrong question. Do you guys believe that the world would be better, not your lives in this moment, quit being selfish punks, but the world around you, if companies did not work with charities? If the two thrift stores in my area were not so heavily funded by publix, if so much effort weren't made by every company in the country at some point or another to fund the American Red Cross? If my store (not all of publix, my store specifically, didn't donate thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours every year to the local fo...

I just had an idea so I thought I’d join this group. Thank you very much for letting me be in it. Lately I’ve been watching YouTube videos of people building their own skateboards in their garage and it kinda gave me an idea. I understand skateboarding is not as popular as it used to be when I was a kid back in the 1980s, yet I thought it would be a great idea to offer customers to come into the shop, design what kind of shape they would want no matter how crazy it is, they would put it together, we would press it and bingo. They have a skateboard.. I think we would make this different, is it would be kind of like a family building or fun thing to do for friends, similar to those paintin...
