I'm confused because does Martine Rose or Grace Wales Bonner, not count as British street wear, if they do then you've left out the best two!!

I don't mind the high prices if the store employees get paid well. But it seems to me that only the executives at Gooodwill get paid handsomely. It would be nice to see what everyone makes at these "non-profits" places.

Well done presentation with great research. I’ve been thrifting since 1991 and have seen all the changes you listed. You didn’t mention that Goodwill cherry picks the high value items and sells them online so the higher quality items never make it to the stores. Very sad to see the changes in the thrift stores.

Goodwill has a lot of junky clothing, too, that is priced a standard high price. They will put something on a rack that newer clothing is on. Old Navy sold pj bottoms on Black Friday for $5. Thrift stores can keep their clothing if I can get something cheaper brand new. Goodwill policies are not consistent either. In PA, you can still find a colored tag for 50% off but in NJ, they've started only giving you 2 colored tags on Sundays only. Other than that, you pay what they choose to price an item 6 days of the week. I now shop at 2nd Ave. Thrift that gives daily discounts. They reward you if you spend $100 with 10% off your next purchase, too.. Every so often, they will have a 50% off certain departments for 3 days.

good VO.

I'd like to see the profit gain/loss of Goodwill over the past 5 years compared to cost of living. Their prices have skyrocketed. Some items are marked above the original retail price.

Fast fashion is junk , buy the best you can afford !

Salvation Army had a broken lamp for $50 quit going only go to estate sales

Goodwill especially does have higher prices. But remember they have to pay a high enough wage to retain their workers or they won't stay! I just hate the lack of consistency. One store can be selling Under Armour for 7.99 while it is all $14.99 at another store.

I recommended thrift shops to my client I'm a stylist in New York City she told me she doesn't like dead people's things😮

I own a nonprofit thrift store. We pay high costs to be businesses for rent - insurance- we like to pay our workers a good livable wage. You are right when you say we work on a small margin of profit.

Always wanted a dada lol

I see some 'mc bling' mixed with the 'y2k' examples.

Y2K is here 2 stay

I can get cheaper NEW products at Dollar Tree than I can at Goodwill for used items. And the CEO of Goodwill makes millions. Its all greed!

We have a GW Boutique. Goodwill designer boutique. You can still get great designer pieces for 8.99 and up. There are only a couple in Austin, Texas. The pockets of the rich, where these are located, do not bother with reselling because they do not have to.

Where can I get a designer bag for $10, at a second hand store???

the political and economic climate is going through a drastic change and i think countercultures will rise in popularity, which will affect fashion a lot. already im seeing way more punks, goths, and a LOT of scenes/emos just like out in public instead of my echo chamber online lol, the communities are like seriously growing. recently a lot of fashion trends like the more alt y2k, acubi, e-girl style, and like, that weird tiktok version of grunge have been like integrated into fashion but a lot of actual alt subcultures were pretty dormant, there was just so much collective trend following all the time. i think yeah theres gonna be a lot of the microtrend girls who think theyre special with the latest niche trendy item (they all dress the same), because thats just what fashion is like now bc of social media, but i think people will start getting way more into the actual subcultures, especially because of how people are really unhappy with the government and the world in general. alt subcultures serve as a counterculture, and a community to come together and be unqiue and defy common/popular culture and are pretty accessible so i think the fashion associated with alt subcultures will become way more prevalent and less niche than it has been, sort of like how grunge was in the 90s and emo/scene was in the 2000s. i think it would help society a lot also.

The fashion from the late 00s was sooo good though…. Im wouldnt be bothered if it made a comeback ❤

You forgot the most obvious trajectory with the high cost living. Indie sleaze.

I hope we will see more from your channel

Goodwill's prices have risen a lot. They are just money hungry since they get all of their products for free. They also price their goods from the trend that is on-line. Nice quality goods sale on-line for higher prices. I shop second hand because I won't shop at Walmart and buy their cheap Chinese clothes. It's all the same style, so you can meet yourself coming in the door.

In Canada, we have Value Village and their prices are often equal or more than would be paid for the exact same product in the retailers. Any good quality items are snatched up but resellers as soon as the doors open. I feel badly for those in need.

I understand to some degree but thrift stores have more donations than they can handle. Look at the Goodwill Outlet (the bins) for example, all the donations go there when no one buys them at Goodwill. There are very nice things along with designer items at the bins. It’s frustrating when I hear it blamed on resellers. If anything resellers are saving so many items from going to landfills and I don’t understand why the thrift stores are raising their prices when resellers are bringing them more business, and their sells are higher than ever. Why are they pricing like a reseller when they get it all for free?! I can’t tell you how many items I come across that are priced higher than they were new in the store. I miss when Goodwill priced everything a flat rate like shirts $5.99 etc. I know, for a fact, if they priced things lower, they would sell so much more especially to those families who truly need those savings to cloth their children.

This video is really high quality for the amount of subs you have! Keep up the good work and I'm sure your channel will grow a lot!

I repair bags and now recommended customers not to buy new as the quality keeps going down to the level of cheap knock-off, buy from thrifts getting stocks from Europe or US.

Goodwill and other employees need to get paid as well

TLDR: Capitalism. The damn thrift economy got invaded by the capital investors who much like the rest of the economy has "enshitificated" under our puppet government..

Why buy at thrift stores when you can go Burlington and get something new.

I'll tell you what happened. All the resellers blasting the profits they're making on KZbin. Literally a guy on posh shows that walks around goodwill auctioning everything. And no he's no goodwill affiliated

Comfort???
