Respect to the guy who bought the Banana Dog 🫡

I have a thrift story. I was walking around a part of town with a bunch of antique shops and in one of them I saw the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. It was a squid whisk, a squisk. I didn’t buy it and I regret it to this day. I still have a picture of it

I love the Kickasserole dish. In fact, I love all thrift store things. It's like peering into a small aspect of someone's life, the object telling a story of who the person who owned it was, and possibly how inebriated they were when they bought it. It shows a past life, one that you've never known, but it's ready to live a new life with whoever buys it.

I NEED to see more of this subreddit. This is just good, sweet wholesome fun and Robin doesn't have to be angry. As a big thrift shopped myself, this vid hit the spot!

I love how Robin keeps saying how jelly he is, but all you can hear in every word is the sheer, unadulterated compersion.

Emkay is expanding into new subreddits and I love it 😄👍

I'm glad we're giving Robin nice subreddits again

I'm so glad they got banana dog, he doesn't deserve to be left on a shelf of any kind

All the narrators should do a video together

I used to work at a thrift store, best I could get my hands on were some rare/vintage stuffed animals if the kids didnt get to them first + take them apart (happened v often) this subreddit is dangerous man i really wanna go back now

I cannot believe their wife said no to banana dog. I hope she apologised to BD, the bestest boy

Banana dog is a being that deserves love. All hail.

The pricing of thrift shop items and goods in relation to the actual value depends mostly on who's working when they're listing and tagging things; if the person doing pricing can't be bothered to do their due diligence on item research, then you can end up with some insane deals. If someone on duty knows their crap and what it's worth, then you'll still get a fair price (compared to buying new), but nowhere near the levels of OMG seen here.

My thrifting story: bought a purse at my local thrift shop for a dollar. Took it home, looked inside, and it had a genuine Bulova wristwatch in one of the inside pockets. Original value would have been somewhere around $250-300 new. Now I always check the pockets of purses before I buy them!

Well since Robin asked, the way to find good prices at Goodwill is to not be in America. There's Goodwill here in Canada among other thrift stores that sell really good items for very cheap.

I once found a copy of the twisted ones signed by Scott Cawthon at my local goodwill for $3. As a fnaf collector it is my prized possession.

I found a Raggedy Ann doll from 1938 in near perfect condition in a place called Valley Thrift Store buried under some other dolls. What’s funny is I had just given up on finding a Raggedy Ann doll to complete my horror doll collection. The best part? She was only 5 dollars.

Not gonna lie, that's one heck of a fit at 0:34 Very impressive. Beautiful polygonal aesthetic.

Probaby my best story was our town used to hold a car boot sale twice a week (pandemic kinda killed it off, boo). I was going through there one day and spotted a gameboy colour, wasn't working at the time. No batteries or back plate.... then I spotted a cartridge in it. Now, having played videogames since a toddler and having a background in e-commerce where I had to learn to value pretty much anything, I was like 'okay how much?' 50 pence. I actually gave the woman £1 and told her to keep the change. What did I buy you ask? that cartridge was a legitimate functioning copy of Pokemon Crystal. I ended up gifting it to my best friend because they'd been trying to get hold of it for a reasonable price for ages with no luck. They got a good investment and with a bit of fiddling and a few parts, I had a functional gameboy colour to add to my handheld collection.

5:17 Those little cushions were designed for cats

One of the best thrift finds I’ve found is more personal tbh. I am a huge fan of pretty cure. I am autistic and this power ranger-esque magical girl series has been one of my mainstay hyper fixations for a while, on top of magical girls in general. Well, one day at my local goodwill, I found an original Cure Princess plush, the deutagonist in Happiness Charge Precure, from all the way back when it first aired in 2014, with only a few minor blemishes. At the time, pretty cure wasn’t really popular in the west, and so finding merch like that in America that wasn’t jacked up to some insane price was as rare as the rapture. Nowadays with the series being on crunchyroll this is mostly a non issue. Needless to say, I took that plush home and placed it on my shelf. It’s still there to this day. It isn’t worth a lot in the secondary market compared to other pretty cure merch of the time. But it is the most valuable and crazy thing I’ve ever found at the thrift store due to the joy it brought me. Lady Luck is real, folks.

Gentle reminder! Most posts are usually once in a century finds and most people finding them have been going to thrifts for decades. Be patient and youll find your own treasures!❤

Now, I am a HUGE sucker for anything vintage and made in the 70’s. I was so jealous of everyone in this video. Please do more of these!

2:03 ITS THE DAD FROM THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES

Not only kickass furniture, but the CLEANEST backgrounds I’ve ever seen????? I don’t think I could ever dream of my place looking that stylish and put-together 😭

I worked at a thrift store for 2 years. There was a lot of things we unfortunately couldn't send out due to it being in the middle of mormonville utah, but I remember two moments, that will stick with me. On my first day, wr got an entire unopened box of Budlight donated, and sometime during my second to last week. We got a motorized dildo. No one knew what it was, and it got out to shoppers.

I love that this one makes Robin mad. Not because of stupid stuff, but just from jealousy of other people finding fly stuff for way cheap.

I loved my grandma beyond anyone... She passed away when I was a kid and I remember her always being in bed (health reasons). In my thirties, I found HER bed in a local second-hand store and was able to buy it. I cried so hard! Yes, I know it's hers. It's now one of my most precious possessions and is still beautiful!

7:37 my grandma owned 2 of those chairs,footrest included and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were real,she had a lot of valuable paintings and ceramic figures

I burst out laughing at the way you said - in the style of a little kid who does this with their dolls all the time - “Although banana dog should be in the backseat because he’s not a grown up.” Excellent job. Still laughing now.

3:55 the didn't know what it was, most likely, so they assumed it was useless and worth little

To date, my best thrift find was my prom dress. A beautiful strapless, floor length red dress with a built in petticoat, no tags but clearly almost brand new. Slightly too small in the top but the strap that closed round the back was long enough that my mom sewed it at my size for the night. No one noticed. $10 USD.

I actually found a thrift store haul for myself it was a red solo cup chalice and now me and my siblings cant stop fighting over it

I've found that, when looking for good deals, check out local thrift stores in or around more upscale areas. I got a pair of leather trench coats for $20 total at a shop in a nicer area. Great condition, fit was a little big for me but I'm not complaining.

I adore thrifting. My grandma is a hardcore thrifter and visits all the garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, you name it. She taught me everything I know and most of my closet is thrifted! You find great stuff especially at yard sales, and it’s giving money to your community! Current favorite find off the top of my head: a lovely faux suede coat for 10$

As a thrift store employee I love this sub. We just had an awesome sale today and I love seeing what people find!

I’ve worked at a Goodwill here in New Mexico for 12 years. It’s really fun to see the treasures that come in. Most high dollar items go to our online store,but there are many fantastic items that I get to price for someone to snag! I’m only allowed to shop on my days off,but still always find something!😁

Just remember, retail prices are ridiculously high. Many of these items are very cheap to produce. That being said, I, too, get excited to find items I love when I thrift. ❤

This is my new favourite subreddit. I love talking with other thrifters about our awesome finds and how little it cost us! Some of my best finds include a save the queen top with gorgeous sleeves for €3.50, an incredible diesel purse for €7 and a real Carlo Colucci cardigan for €12 (new ones go for at least €150), but I know people that found designer gowns for €50 at yard sales and flea markets. Thrifting really is an amazing experience! There are always the most wack things to be found in the stores and usually at great prices! You do need a little bit of luck, but that just makes it more fun

Never knew this sub existed but now I’m hooked, more of this please!

0:02 divorce her.

One day I saw a garage sale across the street from my school as class let out. I found a scratched up but still completely functional Pokemon Yellow Pikachu Special Edition Gameboy Colour, and got it off the person for $2 USD. Ebay seems to come to the consensus that it's worth around $65 already. Imagine what it'll be worth in 2100.

The banana dog story was amazing

my sibling said they tend to do thrift shopping and this video is making me really want to go with them at some point

One of the favourite things I found at a second hand store was a genuine leather jacket, it's in great condition, maroon and is exactly my size. I obviously bought it and it was only $20. I looked up the brand, and it's $300 if I were to buy it new. I also found a few things my mom and I had to abandon in evictions, but I got them back

I found an entire electric armchair with speakers in it dumped outside the local shop. Just a whole ass padded recliner with speakers, I have no idea why - we would’ve taken it but it had been raining and everything was completely ruined. Also found a white curtain blind still in its box in an alleyway. We did bring that one home but it’s still insane what people just throw out

I want a banana dog for myself

I loooove thrift shops, I forced my boyfriend to visit some and as luck would have it, I found great pants, they fit me like a glove and they look great and the fabric is really good quality, all for 5€. The only thing wrong about it is that the paint on the buttons was peeling and it has a slight discoloration, like someone fell on the knees, but otherwise they're perfect and my favorite pants by far

This reminds me of how I bought a reborn baby doll from a thrift store for $8.99usd. No it was not an illegal stolen kit from amazon but a legit one done by a painter and the sculpt being Kimberly from Bountiful Baby. These types of dolls go for over $200usd! She's weighted and everything and was an amazing find and she's a beautiful baby doll.

6:03 - Are you sure it's not counterfeit?

9:33 imagine theres an earthquake in this guy's place, all that effort is now shattered in a million pieces.

What really annoys me is I have always dressed like its the 70s because I was there the first time. I can’t wait for the first time some kid accuses me of not acting my age and trying to be trendy because I’m dressing like I always have.

I once found two 1910s to 20s floor model radios in a goodwill. Both of them a bit damaged but they were easy to fix. I bought them for a total of 7$

Meanwhile I just checked out our goodwill, the price of the used clothing was more than new ones at Walmart. And all other non clothing items were priced like they were dipped in gold…

i’m being absolutely inspired to go to my local thrift store today… it’s a bit out of the way (i ride my bike) but i have a good feeling somehow! maybe i’ll show up in that subreddit later today if i have enough motivation or luck today🤞

The room at 8:04 is absolutely the sickest, SLICKEST thing I've ever seen. There's so much to look at that I could spend all day staring. Fascinating!

More of this subreddit, please. 🥹

I found a $10 wega trinitron at one of my local thrift stores. It was $20, but had a half-off tag for that day. (Yknow when they have a color coded tag, like what goodwill does?) They also had a knockoff normal trinitron and a knockoff wide-screen trinitron I guess that's not a mega-find in some places. Fun fact, they're around that price on average in japan

0:38 not just a bench but a phone bench set also known as a telephone "chair"

10:38 just unlocked a memory for me. THAT was the thermos I had as a kid in elementary school before i stopped bringing my own lunches.

5:18 The cushion is there for someone to rest their arm on, from how it looks it can also be opened to store items like remotes or controllers in

We NEED more of this subreddit. I love thrifting.

i could hear it in his voice that Emkay was literally quaking with envy for these people(so was I) and that dude with his whole upstairs themed to be 70's-90's PLUS the groovy shirt and bellbottoms was literally hitting my old-time Happy button on a spiritual level!

I didn't know I needed this subreddit in my life. Day made

I am so jealous of some of these finds, as if I saw them, I'd buy in an instance. I love thrift shopping so much; you find the best things.

12:00 I was like "cool, someone made a set named Brasilia, must be a coincidence" until I saw it and it actually looks inspired by the architecture. Never heard of it before but now I want it

Tip: if you see an authentic chinese dishware (vases, cups, etc) jade sculptures, wooden sculptures that smell good for some reason, or any authentic chinese looking thing in general, go check the bottom. If it has 6 chinese characters, go check the quality of the thing. Chinese antiques (dishware) will have a worn down rim and a bit yellow. It will probably be most likely a chinese antique. It if really worn down in quality and looks old, then it probably is really old. The older= the more expensive. My mom is a chinese antique collecter and these things can end up from 700- 14,000 dollars on auctions and online. These expensive antiques are most likely found in thrift stores (cheap) you can flex it on your friends or try to sell it at auction. Also you can find great clothing, books, and furniture for cheap. If you are planning to go to new mexico in the summer, go visit the goodwill at sandia vista shopping center in albuquerque. The staff there are super nice, theres hidden treasures everywhere, and theres a ross nearby that sells disturbingly cheap clothings and things for a couple of bucks.

oh my god this is my new fav sub. my jaw DROPPED at the stephen king photo & signature! I'm a bit of a thrifting & antiquing nerd and I should submit my own finds to this sub omfg. my fav find of all time has to be a soviet era gas mask I got for like $25 in estonia during a class abroad

8:00 I’m REALLY digging this guy’s home

best find i have was a 75 gallon fish tank from a local pet store that was closed for over 12 years. it was my childhood store. over 200$ of tank for 27$, and it just needed a re-sealing on two edges (i did all of them to be safe though). it now lives in our dining room and is my pride and joy

this video makes me want to go to a thriftstore again cause I normally love looking through the DVDs and books for things. I think for me personally the biggest thing I ever scored was a DVD of Disneys Atlantis! Or free comic books from my schools library that included some 90s X-men, Punisher and The Death Of Superman

Went to an estate the other day. House was absolutely full of cookie jars. Every room had shelves of jars. Sellers said they had to remove quite a few just to make the house accessible.

13:59 MUNCHKIN'S DEAD!?!?

14:12 what I’m more impressed by Robin is the fact that the person that bought it managed to find the appropriate type of pillows to fill the freaking thing

I love that this video is just Robin telling us he has exquisite taste and us agreeing

needing to survive on thrift shops, i've found some pretty fun clothes. nothing super special, but very pleasant nonetheless :)

we need a banana dog plush.

I still remember one of my favourite thrift shop finds from over 10 years ago. A pair of knee high leather boots that fit me perfectly, on the way to a themed party that would suit them perfectly, $4.

12:10 great now IM jealous. A kitty sweater WITH FISH BUTTONS?! I love cats man. I want that so badly.

Watching this video makes me realize I love older fashion a lot better than current fashion, why did we ever change??

4:08 Yo this is a Carnation lamp!! Zod, it's one of my dream items! It's HELLA expensive here... wah... :'(

If my mother was to ever get involved in a subreddit it would be this one, she is a wizard at finding things for way cheaper then they should be

this subreddit really makes me want to get back into going to thrift stores and just browsing through everything the only thing stopping me is ironically a lack of money yes even though stuff is really cheap i still don’t have enough money to go thrifting around welcome to america where it takes just about every penny you own just to keep the lights on and a roof over your head

I've had my share of pretty good thrift finds. There is one website my mom used to use called "Freecycle," and she managed to get a likely solid oak rocking chair for me. I believe my sister currently has it in her classroom. I might ask for it back when school ends. She's quitting being a teacher, in part due to a shooting threat.

Robin’s videos are the best. They make me laugh every time.

Tips for beginner thrifters: find a mom and pop shop and go every day. Build a rapport with the owners and workers to get discounts and see all the new things as they are coming out. Do a walk around at least twice in case you missed anything. Have fun

About ten years ago I found a cute red strapless jumper (with pockets) in a thrift store, and I get compliments every time I wear it.😊

Speaking of manifesting, not really a thrift find, but my sister won a discontinued hairy bikers portable grill. I can't go near a cooker/oven/hob because of ptsd. I have been seeing nothing except for grill recipes and the past few days, which I have told nobody about, and today my sisters grill became mine. I didn't even know she had one. It's now my personal vegetarian grill. Between that and the air fryer (gift off mother) I'm set to not use an oven until I'm ready again Update: chowing down on a veggie bacon sandwich! The grill lines means some parts are undercooked, but this is some damn good bacon for my first time touching a grill

11:10 How utterly gorgeous! A teal velvet couch is now a white whale for me.

8:27 that rug should be a wall hanging instead of being put on the floor to get all dirty and ruined

5:19 I think the cushions are to be arm rests, but also, I think there's a cubby under those, like they open and there's a spot to put things in. The couch my parents had when I was a child had something like that. There was also a phone built into the couch, it was bizarre.

People before watching this: I will never find anything good at a thrift store People after watching this: I’m going to look everywhere and go to every thrift store I find

2:18 I think that is not a mirror. It is a glass painting like those Stained Glass church windows.

i used to volunteer at a thrift store i never found anything this cool. the coolest thing i probably found was a icecream bowl the shape of an icecream

I went to a thrift store and found a ring that looks like a frog hugging your finger. Not rare or expensive, but it makes me happy.

That’s it. Time to get into thrifting.

14:13 that is an incredible room. Can I move in?

I've had amazing luck at thrift stores and garage sales. Usually I get things I just think are neat, and when I get home look them up and they turn out to be worth TONS. I've kept a few pieces, sold many (it helped me save up to buy a really nice gaming computer!) Best finds have been: Unopened brand new Barbie: Queen of the Prom board game from 1961 for $1 at an estate sale. Sold it for over $100. Also, a collection of brand new Tierney paper dolls in a box for like maybe $10. There were maybe 25 books in this box, and half of them were worth over $50 (one was around $100) so they more than paid for themselves.

7:20 i get this :/ finding good fashion when you’re bigger is hard, and i can see that even more in men’s fashion. theres this cool women’s boutique sorta thrift place i’ve been to once and its up to size 6x, which i think is great. :)

i love zooble couch 0:28
