Luggage Golf
October 22nd, 2007
if i'm only going to be in Chicago for one day what are the best thrift stores to shop?
I sell things on eBay and I have multiple booths at local flea markets. I am going to be in Chicago for one day this weekend and will spend it strictly shopping for items to resale. I am no where near familiar with the area and I am wondering what the best thrift stores are. I mainly look for men's clothing, shoes and accessories, luggage, golf equipment, just mainly guy stuff with some sort of monetary value. Any help would be great! Thanks!
Some of my favorites in Chicago are:
The Brown Elephant 5404 North Clark Street and 3651 North Halsted Street
The White Elephant 2380 North Lincoln Avenue
Both the White and Brown Elephants benefit local charities, and they get lots of donations from wealthy donors, so I always find great vintage and designer items for cheap.
Ragstock 812 West Belmont and 1433 North Milwaukee
Ragstock is a good place to find vintage items, but they can sometimes be a little over-priced. I am not sure what type of mark-up you use when you re-sell, but I can usually find a few gems.
If you feel like digging around a lot, you can also try the Salvation Army store at 2270 North Clybourn. It isn't the most organized store in the world, but there are lots of treasures if you have the patience to deal with the clutter.
You can also check out my blog, www.chicagoandotherstuff.blogspot.com for updates on places to shop in Chicago.
