Re: good second hand stuff
here in Canada Army surplus and Value Village, church sales can be a goldmine too, garage sales....
Re: good second hand stuff
Yay for Value Village! They supply half my wardrobe. My favourite second-hand item of clothing has got to be one of my coats... prolly the vinyl-snakeskin patterned trenchcoat. $13, and a good find. Or a full length velvet dress I found once.

Re: good second hand stuff
I work at Savers/Value Villiage and my wardrobe has more than tripled. Hmmm, best find...
Thigh high vinyl 5 inch heels, that after my discount were $4.
Almost the entire set of WWII Time Life books, missing 2.
Numerous 50's housewifey dresses.
Too many leather jackets to count, most were $.99
Antique Jesus art for my collection, we get some of the coolest shit in.
I love thrifting, probably alittle too much.
Re: good second hand stuff
my old roomate bought a shit load of glasses from a salvation army and then turned them into the coolest looking candles i have ever seen... but i have gotten some pretty kick ass stuff as moving hand me downs (a friend moves and says "hey do you want this i don't want to take it to my new place")
Re: good second hand stuff
I love shopping secondhand stores for clothes. I found an ankle length, really full, black silk skirt for $10. That's probably my favorite find.
Ebay is also good for such things. You can find some really good deals there, although buying clothes on ebay can be tricky with sizing.
Re: good second hand stuff
I got a very nice pair of boots that would have been 30 dollars and I paid less then 15 bucks in a Goodwill in Delaware.
Added note: Second hand stores are great for when you want to make clothes or costumes. That is what my mother does.
Re: good second hand stuff
I've gotten some really great stuff from Goth Auctions. And I LOVE going to a place here called The Red Light, used and vintage clothes. There's a couple of pretty good Value Villages nearby too. I think the best thing ever I got second hand is my three quarter length vintage leather coat. My friend was working in a vintage store and sold it to me for 8 bucks. :)
