<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 126855, member: 468&quot;]So I was just in DC, VA and TN and hit a number of thrifts, some more than once.</p><p>First thing I got, at the first Goodwill I stumbled over, was the coat you see here. Not sure of the age, not new-er, but I needed another long coat to go with the 17, or so, other long coats I have...and because it was cold there...and because I just couldn&#039;t fit the one I really wanted to bring with me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>~</p><p>Another item, which I did not see at first, was at an oddball thrift I found. I was going out the door when it called to me from the back corner of the glass case where I somehow caught what I thought was the Washington monument in my peripheral vision.</p><p>Very hard to shoot this, sorry for fuzzy shots.</p><p>Look at how amazing this is. It is only 2x2x3&quot;. See the flying helo in the front view foreground, some on deck and one coming in over the stern? Wow!</p><p>All done by laser.</p><p>I suspect this crystal was given out to dignitaries at the launching of this Navy ship in 2000 but do not know for certain. Now I have to have more. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It has a few small scratches and the box is missing though.</p><p>~</p><p>I got more stuff too and I will have to watch that closer for I spent A LOT in shipping. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p>~</p><p>I did hear that Goodwill has a different process now so I&#039;m not sure about donating to them.</p><p>However...... The day I went to that first one it was military appreciation day and I got 25% off. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Which made that coat $11.24. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I went to all the other Goodwills I could find and got more stuff at 25% off.</p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]32349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32350[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32351[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]32352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32353[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32354[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
