Not unless it involves giving out your credit card number.

It makes for a Star Trek TNG episode? The one where everyone looks the same because they're clones?

Very funny. What's the real way?

Getting laid is easy

😵‍💫

Sure, in your 20s, if that. Pray tell, kind sir, what is your secret?

Fewer finds out there lately? in c/montreal_thrift@lemmy.ca

It just occurred to me that they may also be simply adjusting to what sells the most. I only have my limited view of the reality of thrift stores, and I realize there probably aren't too many people hitting up the Value Village hoping to find VHS tapes or 5.25" floppy discs...

DROP IT. NO. DROPPPP IT.... in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

A nice Logitech joystick (infosec.pub)
 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur

The Thing in HDDVD (infosec.pub)
 

I regularly find HDDVDs and the best part is they're always priced as a DVD. This one looks new. Maybe it was part of a starter bundle with someone's player years ago.

I don't even care about Star Wars due to my crippling cynicism, but for $4.50 who cares!

4K UHD Wizard of Oz (infosec.pub)
 

Hey for $4.50, I'm pretty happy, plus it comes with a Bluray. I hope my next thrift find is a UHD player...

A new contender appears (infosec.pub)
 

I noticed the "coming soon" sign a while back and now it's open. It's definitely a sense of "déjà vu", it looks pretty much like a Value Village in its layout, prices are the same. Lots of clothes, pots and pans, a few shelves of electronics, and lots of DVDs and VHS. Plus it's a 5 minute walk from the St Jacques Renaissance.

I thought those were just standard embossed letters but they're actually stickers and look really good. This is why I like physical media. And 1980s cheese.

Star Trek TOS BD (infosec.pub)
 

Couldn't believe it. Not a big fan or anything but I paid 10$ for both sets.

Pioneer CT-4141A (infosec.pub)
 

Another one of my lucky finds. It's in pretty good shape but needs new belts. It's a monster to take apart and I don't have any belts so it's a bookend for now. 20$ is reasonable, and it looks so cool.

Vintage Heathkit vacuum tube oscilloscope (infosec.pub)
 

Heathkit Model O-12 tube oscilloscope. Found this among old suitcases and kid's toys at a Friperie Renaissance/Goodwill in Montréal. It still works, it's clean, I didn't need to do anything and it powered up.

In the last few months I decided to see what I could find on DVD and Blu-ray. It's a matter of luck and persistence but I do find good stuff now and then. Anyone else find missing Blu-rays from combo Blu-ray and DVD sets? Or DVD-Rs instead of pressed? And how do some people manage to scratch their discs so impressively?

Whistling Spider-man spotted downtown (lemmy.ca)
 

Haven't seen this street performer in many years. Don't know if it's the same guy, he does look plumper now. In front of St James United March 8 afternoon.
