WTF Thrift Store Finds (Possibly NSFW)

When I go to thrift stores to look for games, I usually browse other sections of the store to see if anything jumps out at me that may not be game related. I am rarely disappointed. I figured I'd see if anybody else has this experience and would like to share? Do you find things that make you say WTF were people thinking when they bought this? How is this a thing? Why...just, why?



***Note: I've found that it takes imgur a little bit to fully process the images I uploaded and they don't show up immediately on here so if the reply is blank, that might have happened...check back later!



Post ya pics or it didn't happen!

  • Hmmm I could use me some of those head wraps lol.
  • I should start taking more pictures of peoples stuff at garage sales.



    The other week I saw a guy who had 2 sets of traffic lights, 2 stops signs (actual road signs, likely stolen) a few crappy boom boxes and about 500 early techno CD's. I didn't even know there was that much early techno.
  • Not thrift shops but many years ago I saw this book at a garage sale:

  • Quality thread, would click again.





    (I hope someone has pictures of weird homemade stuff or creepy old dilapidated toys)
  • These are all awesome guys I will try and contribute.
  • I will never forget the Emergency diaper, was in a case behind class used for fire extinguishers and everything.

    I had to really fight to not die laughing when i saw it, really wish i took a picture of it.

    That's really not such an obscure play. I've seen it advertised before in Vegas. Apparently you can catch it at Harrah's...

  • That picture makes me so confused...



    Is it depicting a bad family, you should not be like them?

    Does your family need to visit Sears sporting goods isle to be safe?

    Can you hire Joel Dunlap's family to stand guard out in your yard giving people the stink-eye?

    I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!

  • Glad they were thinking this was a great children's game...



  • I know it's a mascot, but why would you get this framed to hang on your wall?!
