    Default Thrift Shop Funny

    The other day I was at the thrift shop and noticed a lot of excerise equipment. You know the kind that you see on T.V. at 3am. I just had to laugh that a machine that was like 60 dollars I could buy for 4 dollars. What kinds of things do you see second hand that people would pay full price and you think it is funny that they do?

    I thought of other one. Nice maternity wear from like the gap. Sure I will gladly buy your barely wore jeans that you spent 50 dollars on for 5 bucks. Thanks.

    I usually go for high end items too, like Hollister or Abercrombie clothes... they can pay their $60+ for a pair of jeans when I only pay no more than $5 or their shirts are expensive too that I get for $2-$3 each, lol

    Yep same here. I just bought DD ten Gap Tshirts for $10. Six of them still had the price tags on them.

    The best? Manolo Balik shoes for $15. Some of their shoes are well into the $400s. I couldn't believe it when I saw them. The reason they hadn't been sold yet was they were a size 11 -- not something that would fit most women's size 8 feet.
