My 16 year old nephew visited from out of town this week. Guess where he wanted to shop: YuP! The local thrift stores. I spent $86.00 today at the thrift stores and filled up the car. What a ball. Better yet, the money you spend goes to a good cause.

Yes, keep it quiet. I keep finding high-end stuff at the thrifts for nothing. Campy, pearl izumi, shimano. Ebay what I don't want and turn it into things I do want.
