^ they can be emptied too, my dad had a few things from when he was in the navy(I think the grenade came from my uncle?), the bullets that were 7-8inches long were my fav.!^

I don't post to YouTube. If I did people would ask me to record myself singing I don't like hearing my self.

What do you guys typically find @ thrift stores? I find old clothing, sports jerseys in particular.

for me it is old clothes, old records [those flat black thingies with the neat artwork and that say LP on them] and old CDs/tapes. and old books. sometimes older [but still functioning electronics items as well.

i remember there was a thrift store boom, but now not so much. i used to be into that stuff too, but now, i can't stand the "used" smell of some of the clothing products

exposure to sunshine and fresh air for a day or two will eliminate a lot of the "used" smell, in my experience.

Electric chain saw 3hp $3, Low sulfur b coal 8 bags 150lbs each 10 bucks for all, two antique blue glass lamps cobalt blue $10, LCD computer monitor 22" $35, gun case $3 electric cooler warmer 12v $3 bucks. Not a bad day of shopping.

I have given a ton of stuff to charity thrift shops over the years. I can't stand to buy anything from one, though. Something about the feel and smell of something someone else used. Unless I know the person who had it and they took good care of it, I don't like anything that's second hand.

When I was younger we had days out into them where I could buy a couple of cheap items to add to my collection.. they were the only shop I liked and I loved being taken into them Loved collecting stuffed dogs and toy cars from them Most of what I owned came from a thrift shop, actually

I love charity/thrift stores. I get almost all my clothes there, bar shoes and undies. I've gotten into a habit of buying stuff I can alter or make other stuff from recently. Also books (for reading or altering).

Seattle's Capitol Hill Value Village = 'Just leave me here for three hours and come find me around lunchtime'... We simply don't do them like that in the UK.

Not too long ago, I found an Oregon State football jersey for $9; very nice fit.

Well, I found a nice 1989 Sony Watchman for $4! Doesn't work that much, since TV went digital in the US in 2009; but a nice find nonetheless!
