Best Thrift Store Finds You Ever Had?
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:25:45 PM »
What do you consider your best/luckiest thrift store find? I'd love to see some pics! I think my favorite find was a trunk of AG clothes, including the beautiful Gala outfit(2004 I think)! (not my pic, it's from the American Girl website)

As a far as dolls go, two vintage Saucy Walker dolls with hand-made outfits from the 50's. 

I don't think I have pictures of them any longer, but they were spectacular.  They were about $5 each and sold for about $80 each.

LLL Duchess Ravenwaves, DS Merida, and (broken-legged, but complete) signature Raven Queen are my best finds. :)

Wow! Lots of American Girl!

My best find was a complete (unboxed) Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie. I had one as a child and at $2 and in that condition I couldn't pass it up. I found a Totally Hair Barbie, also complete, at the same location a day earlier but wasn't able to get it because I forgot my wallet D: I'm guessing some adult collector of 90s Barbies had to donate (or their estate did it).

Whoa--these are amazing finds! I think another one of my favorites was a bag full of little Kenner Strawberry Shortcake figurines. Not as great value wise per-say, but one of my personal favorites is a nude vintage Belle doll I found and promptly turned into Saison Marguerite (to the best of my ability--it was my first time sewing Barbie-sized clothes.)

oh my god please tell me that's a "the most popular girls in school" reference.

as for thrifting, though, i have had next to no luck in ponies. i have however found a few breyers, a vintage friend bear care bear,  and some fab vintage clothing from the 60's.

I found a FS Applejack when they were going for crazy prices on ebay. Just the pony w/ no accessories sold for almost $90! Not bad for a $2 investment :)

For things I've kept though, I found a minty G1 Brightglow and a minty G1 Baby Beachball :)
