And I just pulled the little bugger out, didn't notice it previously. (If you must know, it's a red Tommy Hilfiger tie, which I purchased at Marshall's for $11.00, the funny little sticker says $39.50, which, if that is the original recommended price, makes this tie quite a steal).

Ever come across random tags in bits of clothes that you didn't even know were there? It's quite odd to find them, and always makes me giggle a bit.

I did once. I bought a new jacket for a tenner. Got home pulled the price tag out and it said 60 quid! Haha steal of the day.

I wish that sort of thing would happen to me more often...

I was given a hoodie recently, I don't know how much was paid for it, but the tag said 80 euro :eek:

And it's not that great a hoodie.

Nah, it's still a tie. You wasted $11.

I fucking hate ties. And suits, but ties are worse.

Ties are horrific as articles of clothing. But for other purposes, perhaps more appealing. ;)

Not clothes related but I bought a hardback collection of 4 George Orwell books 2 years ago and in the middle (being used as a bookmark I presume) was a postcard from the Outer Hebredies from 1980. It had an owl on the front and told stories of blackberry picking and knitting patterns.

That's quality.

I bought a used textbook freshman year for my political theory class, and the previous owner had written in the margins...usually random personal comments, which were always odd to read.

yeah, when you're drunk you can wear them round your head for ultimate coolness.

My dad bought 27 acres of land off someone for $30,000 then sold it for $1,900,000 two years later.

That guy who sold his land for cheap = pwnt.

Clothing stores always have shit for ridiculous markoffs because no one wants the shit or its the end of a season or something. Last winter, I got a $100 coat for $50.

My pride and joy in the coat section was when I got my Car Coat at Sears last year. The original marking was $240.00, I got it for $65.
