PlatinumAmphibian Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I love seeing what you guys find, however being from Australia, I don't get the opportunity to go Thrift shopping for sporting gear, I will be in the US in June/July though and would love to go to some of these stores. I was just wondering what are good places to go to, where to look and any other general tips. I will be in Seattle and Whidbey Island (Washington), Chicago(Illinois), Jackson(Mississippi) and New Orleans(Louisiana). Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated and I cant wait to see if I can find something Just bumping my quote incase it got overlooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also type in, say "Salvation Army thrift seattle" and it should map locations out for you. Goodwill is another option beside SA. That's how I do it if i'm in an out of state city and have a free hour. Collectors from Seattle, Chicago etc aren't likely to give a shout out of their favorite thrift shops on a well-read public forum. Good cheap thrift store finds are getting harder to come by, especially of the non-bootleg variety. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how they got up here - probably from 'snowbirds' (Canadians living down in the southern states in the winter), or maybe from someone's vacation.Would love to have a Killer Bees jersey, but haven't seen anything like that.

Also, in some states there is a store called Ross which is worth a visit if you come across one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiohead Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 ^Ross & TJ Maxx are hit or miss. My local Ross store in the city I'm working in right now (in SC) has more open space than racks in the mens & sportswear sections. I've rarely seen a jersey of any kind at Ross; TJ Maxx isn't much better. More likely hats & college t-shirts. It may be a regional thing though. Many here have found a lot of stuff at both of them.
