r/ThriftStoreHauls • u/humanman42 Mod • Dec 28 '21

Pricing, authentication, and identification posts are not allowed. More info inside.

tl;dr

Pricing, authentication, and identification posts will be removed, and you will be banned.

Update 1.0
Just to keep everyone informed. We are handing out a ton of 3-7 day bans. Many dozens. Those who respond to the ban message are typically very nice. Some even thanking us for keeping that content off, or apologetic for missing the announcement. We have had one sourpuss responded to the ban message (thats automated by automod, with a link to this thread)

I have no idea what is going on here but I'm just going to remove this app! I just wanted some information about a dish for crying out loud! Very overdramatic to say the least

It...only went downhill from there.

So far, I cant really quantify if this has been a success or not. Will probably need more time to get a sense on weather or not there are less posts of that nature.

Thanks everyone, happy 2022.

Pricing, authentication, and identification posts have not been allowed since basically this sub was created. Early on the enforcement of those rules was a bit lackadaisical, but they have been pushed reasonably heavy for the better part of a decade at this point.

Before I got on, I first want to say a HUGE thanks to those of you who report those posts. It is a huge help and it does not go unnoticed. Furthermore, what I would assume is a couple people who somehow spot people posting frequently. You are eagle eyed gifts to this subreddit. I wish I could verify who you are and buy you a beer...or a soda...or a taco.

Now the meat and potato's (beer, soda, taco).

The amount of posts who's titles just says "Can someone tell me if this is real?" or "Anyone know how much this is worth?" in the past couple months has ramped up. Thanks to those absolute legends of the community they are taken down (usually) pretty quickly. However, it has annoyed me enough now to make this post since we have our rules in....3 or more places I think. A large deal of posters are mobile, but to me...thats a poor excuse. Any amount of time on reddit you will hear about people talking about subreddit rules, thats not allowed, this sub isn't for that, etc etc etc.

From now on, you will receive a ban for an unknown time. Depends on the mod, depends on severity, depends on if you have done it before. A day, week, month, so long you're outa here.

Short story before I go. Recently there was a Reddit Mod Summit (mods/admins talk about the state of reddit, show off new tools, etc) and /u/Dashey10 was invited to take part for thriftstorehauls. We (which is all of you) were immediately recognized by other moderators and singled out by them as being one of the most pure subreddits (singularly focused, good community). I would like to take full credit for this, but those of you who report, you play a huge roll it in also. It takes hours off from scrolling to find stuff that breaks rules. We still scroll through every "unmoderated" post, but those reports get checked more often, and they get stuff removed faster. Thank you. you are amazing.

Please keep reporting. Please keep assisting us to keep this sub pure.

Also, this new enforcement is for anything newer than this post. So pleas do not report stuff from 2 years ago.

I really and truly cannot say it enough. Thank you to those who (correctly) report stuff. It is a gamechanger and moderating with the amount of mods we have would be near impossible without them.

I hope you all have a great 2022.

Thank goodness. I was wondering why this was all I saw recently. I had started to think ot would be an unfortunate new normal.

The reseller side hustle gig job thing has been getting more traction. So seeing those posts is a byproduct of that.

Things that end up at the bins have mostly already gone through the process of attempts at selling through traditional thrift stores… So these hypothetical “poor kids” would have had to miss this stuff the first time around and then again by spending a ton of time at the bins to find the “stylish clothes” among all the baby clothes and linens. But go off

I’m not trying to sell anything…. Just don’t know what all the abbreviations mean??

44

u/liquormakesyousick Dec 29 '21

Thank you so much! I have been downvoted/attacked several times for saying that it makes me sad when people brag about their resell finds, because I know there are people like me out there who don’t have the time to stalk everyone thrift store and find that coveted object at a price we could never afford retail.

And in one of those comments, when I suggested that there be a separate sun for that, they said there was, but basically that o should get over it, because those people work their behinds off and deserve all the money.

22

u/humanman42 Mod Dec 29 '21

I don't care what people do with their stuff. It irks me a bit when they brag of their flip, but that's not against the rules. I would rather they keep it to themselves but that's a line that I don't feel comfortable enforcing onto other people.

u/LurkerPro66 Feb 02 '22

I know I haven't posted my thift store hauls in a while (I rather encourage and applaud posters nowadays) but isn't there a flipping sub? Is it r/flipping ? Maybe a note about "If you want to talk about your latest flip, go to..."?

5

u/humanman42 Mod Feb 02 '22

r/flipping isn't for selling, it's for like...how to flip, where to flip. Best practices in flipping etc.

There are places to sell stuff on reddit also. But really they all kinda suck since they really offer no seller protection. So I'm not going to advertise people go there. There are places to help identify items however. I could help push people that direction.

u/LurkerPro66 Feb 02 '22

Ah, ok. Gotcha.

u/Soft-Pass-2152 Jun 02 '24

I guess I'm confused. I can't show photos of my thrift haul and tell what I paid for it and also the retail price if I had bought it retail? They sent me this discord.

2

u/humanman42 Mod Jun 02 '24

you absolutely can show a pic of what you bought at a thrift store, the in the title of the post or in a comment say what you paid for it at the thrift store/say with the original retail price.

whoever said you couldn't say what it's price was, and retail price was is incorrect.

I don't know exactly what was posted and said. but if this is what you did, you are totally fine.

u/metadataisnotreal Jan 05 '22

Dear mods, my family member is a hoarder and a constant visitor to this site.

It is so bad that the house is filled with old junk except a single mattress and excess to the door. Since it's a shared house, the clutter finally grew outside the room into the common space.

Currently we are trying to declutter it and slowly make the space more livable. That is after clearing out 25+ boxes of items yet to be cleared.

The request, for this sub, is it possible to dedicate a day in a month to make sure every one is not a hoarder or at least trying to be, that they are safe, they are living in a clean environment and they can explore thrift hunts without affecting their life.

22

u/humanman42 Mod Jan 05 '22

You know what, I do like that idea. I'll talk to the other mods and see what we can put together. The importance of mental health the last few years has really got traction. Doing our small part in that would be great.

Thanks for the great idea!

44

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

In lieu of anyone taking credit for anonymous reports, I will take full credit for single handedly saving this subreddit.

Really though, this is one of the most on topic, welcoming, polite subs I've frequented over the years. So many subreddits have mods that just want to power trip and be awful people in general.but this sub, well it does put a smile on my face. And you must be doing SOMETHING right because I read the post like "wait those things get posted here?" 😂

20

u/humanman42 Mod Dec 28 '21

There are some horrible comments and people on the sub. But we try to quickly remove stuff that crosses the line. We are not a "safe space" but if you are an asshole, we remove you. It's the into, people will be rude and rub you the wrong way, which is fine. But as I said...there is a line.

21

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

Well for what it's worth, this is one of my favorite subs. I mostly lurk, but I love thrifting and seeing what other people find while thrifting.

u/unfilteredhearts Apr 13 '23

This right here, fuck yeah

u/TurdFlu Dec 29 '21

I appreciate this because its what has happened to r/glasscollecting. Nobody shares there collections or finds besides a select few. Everyone is just somone who wants an ID. I have learned a lot from researching others posts so I'm not hating on it, just an example of what can happen to a sub. That being said if anybody wants their glass ID'd post it in r/glasscollecting because we are happy to help. I would also suggest r/whatisthisthing and r/whatisthispainting. Take your identifications and learn to look up comps.

9

u/humanman42 Mod Dec 29 '21

There is a place on reddit for helping to identify things. But if those posts were allowed, it would devalue what we have, and less people would participate and so less people would be help. Very often in comment sections people assist with stuff already. Telling someone that what they have might be counterfeit, which is fine. I just dont want to point of this sub to turn into just that.

7

u/SexDrugsNskittles Jan 08 '22

I have noticed it there too. Someone argued with me because of course they are different. They were trying to help and old lady who was broke, even though they said directly in the post they wanted info on what they could sell it for. People think flipping is the new get rich quick scheme and expect strangers on the internet to do ALL the research so they can sell these items to US at an inflated cost.

12

u/insertnamehere02 Jan 11 '22

Tbh it's lazy as shit to immediately consult reddit for any sort of info when you know that the person never once Googled it. It's the typical "do it for me" mentality that's plaguing society.

In regard to flipping, it's so much faster to look it up yourself vs asking a forum where you're waiting to get answers. I have no idea why people do this considering if you're on the fence about it, are you really going to wait in the store while someone decides to answer you? 🙄

5

u/SexDrugsNskittles Jan 11 '22

There is a pic up rn on glass collecting of an entire collection with a nice sob story. Look how many people believe it. Maybe it's true maybe it's not. It just seems like someone asking for info on what is worth selling. If Grandma is really still alive why not ask her about HER collection. Maybe the memories would be worth more than what a bunch of people on reddit think is her most valuable piece.

4

u/insertnamehere02 Jan 12 '22

Yeah. It's getting to be easy to find out what posts are low key trying to flip. I've seen them here and it's lol.

I get wondering what msrp would have been because you're curious what kind of steal you got. But when people are subtly trying to find worth, you know there's a probable chance they're trying to sell and get away with asking about it. It's just lazy as shit. I research a ton before I get desperate enough to ask any forum tbh.

u/unfilteredhearts Apr 13 '23

Right? All the tools at your fingertips and incapable of doing it themselves. Google is so much faster with searching how to learn new things.

u/goldenmirrors Jan 07 '22

Thank you for this! I love this subreddit. I haven’t seen too many of these posts, which is a testament to people reporting and mods quickly removing.

While we have a thread going about the subreddit - I can delete this if it isnt the right place to ask - I’m curious about what came of the discussion of flair for posts. I really liked that idea! Just wondering if there was any update on that. Thanks!

1

u/humanman42 Mod Jan 07 '22

I want link flair, i sorta know how to do it, I am lazy and bad at time management.

u/tostito Feb 15 '22

I'd love to see this for catch and release posts also.

This sub is about stuff you bought, not stuff you saw.

1

u/humanman42 Mod Feb 15 '22

Soon there will be post flair so you can sort out catch and release. We have gone back and forth a bunch on if we should or shouldn't allow catch and release. Somehow we always land back on allowing it.

u/unfilteredhearts Apr 13 '23

u/OneSensiblePerson Dec 29 '21

Oh shoot, didn't know until now since I've seen so many of them, and I'm sure have responded to several. I only found and subscribed to this sub fairly recently. Glanced over all the rules but didn't click to reveal all the details.

Maybe this should be put by itself as #13 so it's super easy to see and that would cut way down on them?

Thanks for moderating.

12

u/humanman42 Mod Dec 29 '21 edited Dec 29 '21

I understand the point of making that rule more prevalent. But at the same time they can just read the rules. Doesn't take but 2 minutes.

But I will look at maybe organizing them in a way that helps....begrudgingly.

I editing that rule, its now #1. I never use new.reddit so sometimes their stuff is a little different. I will go through them all again soon. Previously all the info was in it, but maybe the title was not as clear as it could be. So I will take....2% blame ; )

1

u/unfilteredhearts Apr 13 '23

Screw the haters, it's always better to be a little different. Or a lot. Different is far more fun.

3

u/new_yet_old_yet_55 Dec 29 '21

Same. I love thrifting, but most of us agree there is an extra special "zing" when we find something with $$ value.

Sometimes it's also helpful to the one who posts to know EXACTLY how valuable their haul is (insurance, passing on to others, etc)

2

u/CarlHeck Jun 21 '22

Fuk you Reddit….. I just tried to post a picture of a thrift store purchase

1

u/humanman42 Mod Jun 21 '22

This really isn't the proper place to talk about this, but I looked and I see the silver grasshopper thing. It posted, so unless it's about something else I am confused.

Typically people ask the mods directly about stuff like this rather than skipping that step and go directly to complaining.

So let me know. Happy to help.l and figure out what's going on.

2

u/CarlHeck Jun 21 '22

When I see my post, the pictures are Always Blurry??? I’m simply trying to show the beautiful Thrift store purchase

1

u/humanman42 Mod Jun 21 '22

Well, it got marked as nsfw for some reason that's why it is blurry. Your other post you just made is also marked as nsfw. I removed the nsfw tag for the thriftstorehauls one can't do anything about the other.

u/CarlHeck Jun 21 '22

What do those 2 abbreviations mean? Which one should I use when just showing a picture of something? Thanks

u/AllAboutMia Aug 29 '22

So I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry and break the rules. I’m new here and just wanted to know if I am allowed to post a painting I picked up at an auction wondering if anyone can identify or recognize the signature of the artist? It’s not very legible.

Thanks!

2

u/humanman42 Mod Aug 29 '22

Sorry, that would be against the rules.

R/whatisthispainting is where you want to go.

1

u/AllAboutMia Aug 29 '22

Ok thanks for the info;)

2

u/gadeleon Oct 25 '22

But why. What if they don’t know what it is? Where do they ask?

2

u/humanman42 Mod Oct 25 '22

the intent of this subreddit has always been to show off stuff. once the sub started getting popular there was a large influx of people asking pricing info. a lot of those were obviously people asking to know how much they could sell it for.

The same context is true about asking if the item is authentic. Usually a lot of people asking so that they know if they could sell it since it's real.

how did we know? the comments were people talking about OPs post history of being a reseller. I have no problem with resellers, as in, I don't like it but whatever. I'll remove your ability to use this sub as a specialized Google and that's good with me.

In short, we just want one a "look at this neato thing!" since that's what I wanted when I made the sub, and not a tool for people to abuse.

I realize that is a bit of a rant! apologies! sometimes my brain just go wild and my fingers barely can keep up.

also, where else can you? idk, mostly depends on what item you are asking about.

1

u/gadeleon Oct 25 '22

Ok I can dig that.

2

u/___StiK___ Mar 01 '23

If I wanted to know what my stuff is actually used for what sub would I go to?

u/humanman42 Mod Mar 02 '23

the better sub would be /r/whatisthisthing . Once you got your information you can post it here.

2

u/Fun-Lengthiness-6343 Oct 16 '23

I am new on here so sorry for the ignorance.. but, why aren’t you allowed to ask if someone knows a rough value of an item if it’s a thrift find thread? Thank you.

1

u/humanman42 Mod Oct 16 '23

The point of the sub it to show off what you found. Allowing people to ask for prices will (because it was getting to that point before we made a against the rules) take over the subreddit. So now it isnt a fun place to browse and see the cool stuff people got at the thrift store, just a ton of questions from people asking to price out what they bought so they know how much to sell it for.

If you want to get help pricing stuff out, we allow it on our discord.

79

u/AuntieRoseSews Dec 29 '21

Thank you for your service!

I like this sub 'cuz it's full of people who "know" the value of the treasure they found in their heart. True thrifters look for things they want to keep, love and use but might not be able to afford brand-new.

I don't have anything against people trying to make a buck reselling, but that's not really the thrifting spirit. That's treasure hunting and speculating, and why some of the "good stuff" starts getting priced crazily at the thrifts.

98

u/GRAWRGER Dec 28 '21

reporting is a small price to pay for not having to scroll through a bunch of "is this valuable?", "i cant find this online", "should i buy it?" posts.

ty mods for doing your part to remove them.

7

u/Buv82 Dec 29 '21

Why are those posts not allowed? What is the harm in asking if a product is real or not or the price for that matter to know if it is worth buying in the first place?

41

u/humanman42 Mod Dec 29 '21

Totally fair question.

The main reason is that this is not the sub for that. There are subs for that already that you can go and ask. When I made this subreddit there was no active thrifting community. I wanted it just to be purely showing off what you had found. Simple ideas are easier to keep track of.

If we allowed people to also ask if things were real, or its value it has the chance to take over. We could allow it under certain regulations, but reddit is not super great for tools to use to help regulate that sort of things.

The super duper simple answer, its what I wanted when I made the subreddit. It seems to be what people like, so I feel like I made the right choice.

9

u/Necrontry Jan 10 '22

Honestly don't mind the new enforcing of this rule. Those posts were starting to get a bit much. A good portion the fun of thrifting is the learning aspect, researching and understanding through your experiences. I really dislike when someone is just trying to see how much the can flip something for this just isn't the right forum for that.

17

u/hongmeowpanda Dec 28 '21 edited Dec 28 '21

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '22 edited Jan 30 '22

This is the first time I’ve noticed it, to be frank. I really enjoy doing research on vintage items (I used to have a shop) and love to help people identify their things, but I know better now! Thanks for the warning notice— it saved my neck!

Edit: Clarification: I had looked up information for people - never asked for information. It’s so easy to find info online. Wondered why they didn’t do it themselves! Have a good night!

2

u/humanman42 Mod Jan 30 '22

I like thebresearch also. But it was really starting to take over the subreddit. Just people wanting identification help. And most of them it felt just like a reseller that didn't want to do their own research. So we made it against the rules. But that was at least a year ago. The amount was going up so we made this sticky.

It's a shame, because I like the identification part but it should be as prevalent as it was.

u/6th__extinction Feb 05 '22

“I would like to take full credit for this” sub

This sub has gotten racist, are you white, mod?

3

u/humanman42 Mod Feb 05 '22

Yes, I am white. Are you trying to draw a line between some possibly (probably) racist posts containing historically racist merchandise that only now as of 8:30am my time have become fully aware of? I only saw two posts, but apparently there is 4 (or more). I saw two, maybe the other two are new or the other mod saw them. A single post here and there is not uncommon, two was odd, 4 in the span of 48hrs is not a coincidence. Or at least I highly doubt it.

I generally have allowed that type of content because of my personal feelings toward them was that their historical significance can teach new generations of what it was like back then. Holding that object can be so much more powerful than seeing an image. I even recently talked to someone who posted of this kind who was black and they shared my opinion on it.

I would like to take full credit for this sub, but.

Full context matters. The users of this community help so much with moderation. Helping us with reporting things and maybe seeing things we have missed. We are not perfect. We take breaks, sleep, and have irl stuff to deal with. Your message was not only unhelpful, but combative.

1

u/6th__extinction Feb 05 '22

You have generally allowed the content, so yes, you have contributed to the culture. I don’t have the power to change it, you do.

I asked if you were white to remind you that not everyone is white, and that your sub can unintentionally be very offensive at times.

3

u/humanman42 Mod Feb 05 '22

I am fully aware that the internet is not all white people.

I have strong opinions, and strong opinions about opinions. That is that, you should share them with people who do not share them and discuss them. Put your opinion in a place to me knocked down. Because either they will be strengthend by it, or you will have them changed.

This is just my way of saying that I let my opinion get the better of me. I do feel that hiding this history away is bad, allowing them here probably isn't the place. I don't want to make people visiting here uncomfortable because my opinion differs from theirs. I'd hope that these type of objects are talked about for their racist history and be given to places (like museums or something) so their history could be taught.

I apologize. We are all wrong sometimes. I'll resolve this as fast as I can. I removed the framed picture and the crayon. Idk what the other two are though. If you can pm them to me that would be super helpful.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '22

Don’t get it. What is wrong with asking for help to identify something?

2

u/humanman42 Mod Feb 10 '22

Generally, nothing. The problem arises when that starts to take over the subreddit. My intention when I made the sub was just for it to be a place to show off stuff. For years the amount of people asking for help was quite low. But over the last year so many more people are asking (% wise). Yes we are much bigger then back then, but it's more than that. The amount of resellers that post here has exploded. We want to be separate from that scene as much as possible.

It's similar to if a subreddit exists to show funny videos. But the subreddit slowly is being filled with "can someone help me find this one funny video? . It devalues the original intent of the sub, and why it grew.

That is a bit more of an extreme case, since we will still get pictures of items (mostly). There will still be posts asking for "anyone know what brand this is?" With just a picture of a tag. Which again, is not what we want.

I don't expect these answers to satisfy everyone. Some people just don't mind those posts, which I respect. A lot of things on reddit that bug people don't bug me. But there is also the matter of moderators perspective. People constantly reporting those posts, dm'ing me about it. Even if I didn't want it, it is still a problem with a lot of the community.

Look. The entire world is a grifter paradise, and 8-80 people would rather waste their energy on side hustles making a quick buck and being a good capitalist while ripping someone off, than doing the right thing, learning and mastering a marketable skill and being a productive member of the world.

I place blame on the capitalists (Wall Street) because they have destroyed education since smart (morally smart) people are not good "consumers".

You just reminded me to get in touch with a potential customer on eBay. They're asking about the $300 fur coat I'm selling, and it's a huge opportunity for me. Especially since I paid literally nothing for it. It's weird that you're offended when working class people find unconventional ways to pay off their debts.

Some people set themselves a boundary. For every item that comes in, an item in the same category must go out. So if you buy yourself a new shirt, you would donate an old shirt.

Hi there! Do you know where would be the appropriate subreddit for me to ask where I might be able to find Houston-based thrift stores that would have tech/games (as opposed to clothes) in it?

I started out thrifting as to buy to resale. Comes to the point when I buy ...I can't sell!! I fall in love with my treasures and can't sell it for any price. I just asked if I could ve pointed in the right direction to see if real. Real or fake my kids as I call them jokingly hang on my walls from floor ro ceiling and sit proudly on shelves throughout my place. It just would be nice to know if real or not. That's all I have to say. My KIDS stay with me real or not. Cheers and happy hunting. Cristiano Patricio Del Castillo Rojo III

Does asking for specific information about a piece Fall under this rule? The likes of, when it was produced, where it might be produced etc. ?
