A Thrifter is a low level player, or [opportunist]. In a broader sense, a thrifter is a purveyor of second-hand pleasures. Based on the Jim Thompson novel and 90's film adaptation, "The Grifters," a thrifter is anyone who makes a living by scoring objects of worth from Grannie's yard-sale (i.e. suckers) and reselling them on Ebay or a Flea Market at a huge profit. True thrifters live in second-hand style, rocking used clothes, furniture, music, books, etc. Conversely, thrifter may also be used as a compliment. Die-hard Thrifters end up owning boutiques, peddling antiques, old records, vintage clothing, or graduate to become pickers for Crate and Barrel, [Urban Outfitters], etc. Thrifters may ultimately learn a trade and become clothing designers ripping off designs from old clothing, or [documentary] directors, thrifting the pain and suffering of others for their own benefit.
