Went with the wife to the thrift shop in town and while trying to distract myself from the horrible new-age gospel music by exploring used ski jackets I came across a gem. Sitting there by itself, just begging to be rescued from it's tacky prison between neon ski jackets, was a brand new and un-worn Alpha Industries flight jacket. 
After nearly peeing myself at finding it, I paid the nice lady exactly $24.99 and ran out of the store with my jacket like a little girl clutching a Jonas Brothers autographed cd. I quickly checked over my shoulder to see if there were ninjas in pursuit or the host of one of those prank TV shows and jumped in my car, nearly leaving my pregnant wife in the parking lot. "Hurry up honey, before she changes her mind!" I screamed as I yanked the car into drive. I did forget to buy the $5 Remington trigger lock and the $20 remote starter kit (NIB!), I'll have to go back for them, provided my jacket doesn't turn back into a pumpkin or something.
Man, I love finding something awesome in an unlikely place for cheap money. So anyone else have any recent awesome gear scores?
