Video blogs here I come!

I wasn't sure what to make of this Chinon CV-T73 camera when I first saw it at the Savers on Warm Springs priced at $25. It looked cool, but then again it is a VHS camera. Some quick research using the iPhone revealed quite a bit. On eBay there were nothing but manuals for this camera model, which themselves were going for $25. Batteries (the camera does not have a battery with it), were about $15-$40. Still, I could find nothing for the actual camera. A google search brought more answers. It seems this is a very high end VHS camera, which allows for digital enhancements and effects while shooting. Mostly used in Mexico and similar regions. Decided to go for it, why not.  Total cost: $25 - 20% off coupon = $20 total + tax.

Moai is not amused.

These were found at the Goodwill on Warm Springs for $1 a while back. Since arriving at the house, they have protected the sensitive ears of our silent guardian from the sounds of countless annoying visitors. I'll just have to assume he's thankful; lord knows I would be.

Pew Pew Pew! Those ducks better hide.

Found a cool 1985 Nintendo Zapper this morning for only $1 at Goodwill! It's in perfect condition as well. I love these things.

Sold!

This Cybernet Mini Concert vintage cassette player was only $2.99 at Savers.  It sold over the weekend for $30 on eBay!  A nice profit on a really cool find.

Thrift Find of the Day: Golf Edition!

The Masters begins today, and everyone is interested in seeing Tiger Woods play again.  I'll probably be at Savers and Goodwill instead.  Interestingly enough, I did come across a golf themed bar mirror last weekend and another pretty cool bar mirror yesterday.

Thrift Find of the Day: Creature Edition!

I'm always on the lookout for cool animal figures. Lately I've been able to find a few interesting items extremely cheap. First up are a couple finds from Armstrong's Emporium II on Commerce St.  A pair of carved donkeys and a nice carved wood shark! $7 total for all 3.

Next up I found some stuffed creatures at the Goodwill on Sahara. Some of you may recognize them, even though they are in costumes. $1 each

Thrift Find of the Day

I found this little stone carved face container at Savers on Tropicana. It has a few chips and blemishes, but overall it's a really cool piece. I believe it will find a home on my desk as a usb stick/memory card holder. Price: $2

Exciting Website Update!

We have a new URL!  Thriftingvegas.blogspot.com is now simply ThriftingVegas.com! Sorry for the lack of posts, the site was down a bit while all the redirecting and such took place. It's all quite technical. Internets we literally moved and shifted for the change to take place.

Look for daily updates from here on out!
