Goodwill has the coolest shirts, that is where like half of my T-shirts are from. Garage sales is where I get all of my lawn equipment, plus I got a slide rule still in box with plastic on it for 25¢ the other day. Good idea for a thread:)
you have a lot of shit
Good on you for being frugal and all, but in all honesty, a lot of that looks like junk that just takes up space. Sure the novelty of having a working typewriter is cool, but are you really gonna use it much? And a stuffed racoon? :geno: Also: [img_thumb]http://i46.tinypic.com/j97dqq.jpg[/img_thumb] [b][i]That shit is portable?![/b][/i] :byodood:
Last yard sale I went to, I bought two electric chainsaws. I felt so bad-ass walking back home with a chainsaw in each hand.
Prepare for the huge amount of posts of people saying "what are you gonna do with this? Do you need any of it?"

I'm jealous about the camcorder. That's about it.

I'm going down to a local thrift store this Saturday. You can find a lot of stuff that you would never see anywhere else there.
I've found a bed pan and some dirty underwear at Goodwill. And by dirty, I mean skid marks. My sister likes going to Goodwill even though her and her husband both have nice paying jobs.
Where did you obtain that SAW aphex twin poster? I must know.

I bought a box of like 20 SNES games and a SNES, both were like 10 or 20 dollars together
Mr. Woodcock is not crappy. :mad:
I think the sayings "one mans trash is another's treasure."

Using 1024x768 has it's advantages and disadvantages. For example, playing game requires a lot less than 1280x1024. Or, going to facepunch threads with photos, is a fucking pain in the ass! :argh: Other than that it looks like you got some great deals.
Eww some things are really filthy. And do you really need all that stuff?
gun fits the raccoon
