Have any of you ever found a high end fashion item in a thrift store?

I found a thirty dollar Volcom wallet one time in a purse bin at a salvation army store for fifty cents. I've also found really nice Hollister and abercrombie shirts at a local church thrift shop in the children's dept. for fifty cents to a dollar each. I also find really nice mens clothes like Ralph Lauren and polo shirts for 2-3 bucks each. I love going out and finding a bargain. Most people have caught on this and now it's harder to find items unless you get there early on the unloading days where they bring out all the new items. another tip is to shop off seasons. Like buy summer clothes in winter. I always find the best name brand items during that time! So whats your thrift store find?

I have found so many great things in thrift stores. They are by far my favorite place to shop. I sometimes leave with a whole bag of items for less then 20 dollars. I can barely buy one item for that in another store. It is always a great adventure to me. Love them!!!!

I've found Guess jeans for $2 and Mossimo skirts NWT for 2 or three dollars. I love thrift stores too. I just wish I had more time to go hunting for deals these days.
