Wow you found a lot of stuff Cherry Chip!   :o  I have a problem with my thrift store being overpriced too.  For example if they have a pair of nice shoes in good condition they ask for up to $12.98.  FOR USED SHOES!!!

I had Baywatch Barbie when I was young.  Anyway, nice finds!

-Em

Thanks :) I actually didn't have Baywatch Barbie when I was young but I love dolphins and the look of the older barbie dolls so she was a good find.

Omg, that is ridiculous!  Nobody's gonna buy those lol.  Some people really don't know how to price things properly.

>> no one has posted in here since, me, i can't be on the only one who occasionally finds stuff at thrifties!

Haha in addition to a LOT of other plushies I found:
vintage pound purry
vintage large pound puppy (14" maybe?)
kitty kitty kitten
and a PUPPY PUPPY PUPPY (both have the their tush tags removed, you can still see part of the puppies, buth both have their collar-for cat, and neck bandana - for dog!) the kitten is pretty dirty but im hoping to clean her up

I ALSO FOUND: A mommy puppy surprise with 3 babies inside! for 25 cents! It is like my grail find, I LOVE Puppy surprise :) SO I was super excited.

Like I said, a bunch of other plushies too, but they're not necessarily collector things so I won't post them here. :)

Since I collect plush, I often fill my buggy or cart with tons of stuffed toys.  I have had the cashier on more than one occasion at more than one thrift store say something like "oh, how many kids do you have?"  Sometimes I play along and say something crazy like 15 haha (I'm 28 years old and have no kids).  I think it's also funny when I say "none.... why?" and look at them puzzled as to why they would think that.  My thrift stores sometimes have some great finds.  I bought a bag of plush that had old and new Care Bears, some World Wildlife dolls from Wendy's from the 1980's (I remember having them as a child).... and, I also got a Steiff Penguin- it's newer, but appears to be worth at least 20 bucks.  Debating about keeping him or selling him.  I often get good stuff- I especially love Disney plush, and my greatest Disney find was a large Dodger stuffed animal with the "necktie" and tags still intact for about 4 bucks!!!  Dolls are definitely harder to find, but I love my plush more than dolls, so I'm not complaining LOL.

So jealous of all the good finds people are posting! :) I haven't found anything for a while, but then, I haven't really been going out to hunt all that much either...

I love O&C!!!! Actually, I collect O&C merch. :) You are so lucky to find him with tags and red bandanna! I found my guy thrifting in decent condition and no bandanna.

Hi every one I got a kitty kitty kitten today at the salvation army for 35 cents ! it is one of the fancy kittens part of her fur will have to be cut of because some of it has a small burn mark on it.  She is going up for sale once I clean her up if you know her name or want to buy her Pm me .  All I know it is a white Persian kitten .  ;D


I also got a royal boy uni neo pets plush as well the down side is that it was in a bag with a beanie baby for an angel bear and I had to buy both of them.


On the down side I passed on a glow worm bag or carrying case the tag said _ _ Inc but no date I have no idea if it was real or fake . I  will post photos later of it and the monster o

I also passed on a the huge my pet monster plush from 1986 so it was an original one but I don't collect them maybe I should have gotten him oh well..

I had a little luck yesterday at my junk store (literally I think the junk is what holds up the building). LOL

I got a fp happy meal princess with real rooted hair, some LPS playset stuff, A really old looking vinyl deer/mule, A cute little vinyl goat, A uber tiny vinyl  teddy bear (looks like he was a toy for a toy) and a vintage Theodore chipmunk plush with tag from burger king. Will probably post some pics to help id all the stuff.

I went out thrifting yesterday and Friday. I didn't have much luck on Saturday (there was a sprite that had obviously been a dog toy... and a Gonga plush that had one really chewed up hand), but Friday was good! I picked up a vintage Friend Bear plush, a couple of vintage littlest pet shop animals, two really cute Holly Hobbie mugs, a treasure troll, a couple of old science text books from the 1950s & 1960s (they looked cool!), and some other toys. :)

I generally write about my thrift finds on my blog. ^^ This weekend's finds aren't up there yet, but I'll have pictures up by Monday. If you have a moment, please stop by!
