Someone should revive this thread and it shall be me hehe. I like this thread a lot. Y'all have found so many good things. I had a Super Magic Diary too. They are cool. My sister had one too. My brother locked himself in my room when he was 2 or so, got out my nail polish and painted the top of it. I was so mad lol.
You could always also pretend you're simply shopping for your ebay business or whatever in your head if you're embarrassed lol. Which for a lot of you, is somewhat true. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, but I get embarrassed sometimes too but I think it's more I don't like people looking at me when I shop in general.
Okay well I just started getting into thrift shopping so here are my finds so far: A ton of Mcdonalds mlp's, 3 G3's, a popcorn prettie doll (flea market), Party Popple (thrift), Baywatch Barbie w/ dolphin unused (the box was gone but she and the dolphin were still attached to the back of the box), Breyer Horse Hope I think her name is for $2 at a flea market, Vintage Birthday Care Bear cake pan @ flea market, The Hobbit LOTR record (thrift), '94 mcdonald cabbage patch doll MIB (thrift), Cabbage Patch pony fakie (purple) (thrift), Wendy Doll (flea market), Toy Story Slinky Dog (thrift). Slinky is a bit messed up but good enough, Gloe Bear (I love those things), bigger version of beanie baby Mystic (thrift). I don't remember the prices of everything but I got everything for good prices.
Things I've seen but didn't buy: A bunch of Neopets plushies, Webkinz, Webkinz pen case, literally a ton of bins full of mcdonalds toys at this one flea market mostly all MIB, tons of older barbies in good condition but none I wanted, Whole set of Hunchback of Notre Dame dolls (like barbies), two Barbie houses 2.99 each at a thrift shop, Vintage Wonder Horse (it's a rocking horse) 14.99, CP pony fakie in white, vintage smurf plush, vintage pizza hut puppet muppets toys, a ton of other vintage cake pans including Cabbage Patch, Lots of Mcdonalds glasses, Care Bears Case (it was overpriced imo), vintage Mickey flash light that changes colors, vintage Mickey backpack, Baby All Gone (her hair was in poor condition though). Um yeah, I can't think of anything else! I'll be sure to share more in the future
Edit: Apparently that G3 pony I got on Saturday for 50 cents is worth 20-25 dollars since she's pretty rare. It's Royal Beauty #2 with the Frog Prince symbol. I thought that was pretty cool.
