Not bad for a days work....
« on: June 17, 2008, 11:31:09 PM »
Indeed. I knew I left work early for a reason. I scored a little bundle today at a thrift store I hardly go to that is near. All within five minutes too. And all cost me $5. Not to mention getting my stimulus check today as well.

Picked up a cute Polaroid The Button for a buck, a nifty like new Time-Zero OneStep for a buck......and....the topper....one pack of 600 film, one pack of expired SX-70 ('06) AND Time Zero ('96)...both for a BUCK. Wow, I nearly had a conniption seeing these in the case. I was calm and laughed all the way to the car.

It was a good day....and not bad for a days work.

Anyone else been lucky lately?

You scored bigtime!!!    :)

I scored a 67mm ND filter from Best Buy for $3.99
Normal retail price was marked $24.99
It was in a package that had been opened, then taped shut. 

Filter is perfect.

total score! ;D

I picked up a Polaroid SLR680 for $10 a while back, it was in mint, with all the original paperwork and purchase receipt.

That's not me crying...that is me sweating cause I'm so hot.

Good on everyone for scoring big time. I need to score too...and I aint talkin about no picture making either. I doubt if I ever use that film and will probably sell it for tons of loot. That's right...

yeah that sx-70 might go for as much as $100 a pack on ebay. i haven't tried any of it cuz it costs too much.
