·Picked this up yesterday from a thrift / charity shop for US$3.00, no visible signs of any wear either on the watch or strap. It's in a style I know my wife loves so it was a no brainer.

·Well what to do on Boxing Day, go thrift shopping of course!
Found this today, paid NZ$5.00 ( US 3.00 ).
I don't think I overpaid.
Nice leather strap which shows zero sign of wear pretty much same for the case and lens though the lens might benefit from a polish.

·This yesterday, boring and mundane, not really my thing other than that it's vintage, ceramic and Doulton and was fraction of its market value.

·Not at a thrift store, but at an estate consolidation sale. This was Omega DeVille F 300 chronometer was brought to me before the sale to have a cell installed. It didn’t run, but the electronics seemed okay. I gave them a standing offer of $25.00 which I would honor if it didn’t sell. It didn’t. I ended up with it. I cleaned it and replaced the (expensive) crystal.

·Was it actually 14k?!?
There was a bit of a story in the purchase of that one. The shop had the price sticker on the back of the watch completely obscuring the 14 K marking saying 15 dollars. Me always one to haggle and bargain noted to the sales assistant that the watch was not running and the price was therefore 2 high and I offered 10 dollars. The diligent sales assistant referred it to the shop supervisor who said 5 dollars would be fine. They were happy and I of course was extremely happy.

Had a similar one: I (generally) do my thrifting from online auctions. Won this for USD14 + shipping and taxes. 14k as well. Benefited from Omega's sophistication of not putting the markings on the outside of the caseback...I think I 10x+ the money on that one.

·Found this yesterday when thrift shopping, well my 8 year old did and was very keen on me acquiring it so I obliged. A Roland D5 Synthesiser in mint condition. I just need to make up some phono to RCA cords so I can get it connected into my home amp for her to play.
Was a bit of a steal at NZ$20.00, looking at eBay where the ask price for trashed/ well used units is a whole lot more.
