As long as we don’t see the rent-seeking behavior of clothing “flippers” I’m happy with this.
Most of the goodwill-type stores in my area are stripped bare by “bargain hunters” who turn around and sell it for like 200% markup online or at the consignment stores.
I don't see a problem with that tbh. I buy almost everything in a couple of second hand stores. The first one is a regular one, with cheap clothes but is really hard to find anything good, half the time I left empty handed. The second one is almost a designer store where the people who supply the clothes knows about fashion and spend their time looking for cool clothes and everything they sell is cool, and I have to restrain myself or I would go broke.
I think there is value on looking and curating the good clothes from the thousands of crappy ones that are on regular thrift shops.
agree. I do buy from online clothing flippers because I'd rather spend $10 online for a polo I know will fit than an hour hunting through the racks only to find nothing that matches my needs.
My local thrift store doesn't even have dressing rooms anymore.
