Fossil Finds - the business of thrifting

 I know I touch mostly on brands and the low prices paid for said brands that would normally cost you a grip but rarely touch on how you can purchase unique, discontinued items that come character-ready.

I stumbled across Fossil Finds while browsing the Fossil site for a new bag (later post) it was interesting to see that a multi-billion dollar "watch" company possibly has a team of thrifters dedicated to finding old shit, calling it "vintage" and charging an arm and a leg for it and even more interesting that people are paying for it when they could find the same stuff probably for a few bucks.  Anyway, you can browse the used $55 flannels, $100 military jackets and the like (here) or better put unique, one-off, second-hand vintage items.
