Why are people hating on this? Recycling clothes is the best fashion trend that could have ever happened to this planet, and good for this guy for making a profit from it. Dudes living my dream honestly. I'm sure his success has a lot to do with marketing, and he knows what people want to buy. He's not just selling your old sweatpants you donated to Goodwill.

@@kenS87 the tee doesn't need added value through customizations. Supply and demand. Like that Madonna shirt at the beginning. That's a 90's shirt, and since it was a tour shirt, a limited amount was made, making the $200 price point realistic, especially considering Madonna is a highly prolific figure.

I went to Round Two Hollywood last summer. I brought some vintage tees and they cashed me out for nearly $500 cash. A short trip to the store gave me some extra $p£nds for my holiday. The staff in the vintage store were super cool and polite. Sean was dealing with people near the entrance as we were leaving, he stopped his conversation, turned around and thanked us for coming into the store. SUPER nice dude! I'm glad they're doing so well. Great guys with a real passion for what they do.

Aldaz Muñiz You think if I bring my vintage Power Ranger undies they’ll give me something? They do have some 20 year old skid marks on them, but otherwise they’re in good condition. I wonder if I’ll be able to see Sean at the store and I’ll be able to sell him my vintage adidas socks with holes in them, the holes add to the aesthetic btw so maybe I’ll charge extra.

I disagree, this is not high fashion. These are mass produced items which most of us throw away in the trash, some people don’t and they end up here. When supreme puts a music icon on a tee, then people want similar tees, especially these rich hypebeast kids. All the other shit in that warehouse is worth the same, just is not in fashion at the moment. If you go to Poland or Eastern European countries they have tons and tons of secondhand clothing warehouses and stores with items less than a dollar, even fur coats...but they don’t have the hypebeasts like they do in rich countries.

The bad thing about this “vintage” trend is the overpriced clothing for cheap shirts. It’s hard to find unique shirts, but the only good thing is once you find a unique shirt it’s totally worth the time invested. Either way the price you pay for someone else finding a shirt is not justified enough, although, arguably you could say you paying for the time they took. This shouldn’t be $60 -$200 for a vintage look shirt. This should be a go and find yourself and grind for the look you want. The experience and reward is totally worth it.

you all moaning because of the prices compared to thrift stores but you have to understand that people sometimes want something very specific, like 80s levi dungarees or a new york yankees sweatshirt from the 90s for example. Finding that item by chance at your local thrift is extremely unlikely. However vintage stores like this one make it easier for people to find an item they want and also is great for people like myself who only wear vintage so going to a store that ONLY sells vintage is like heaven to me. I dont wanna dig through tons of modern crap to find one vintage item that i might not even like at a thrift. I also respect the prices at these vintage stores because you are paying for their time and effort of finding rare items, and other overhead costs of running a business. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL VINTAGE STORES

For the most part it's actually people old enough to have authentic memory's / connections with these pieces. Maybe it's something they had as a child / teenager growing up and it was lost or stolen, maybe it was something they always wanted but could never afford. The Hypebeast/Hipster aspect is definitely a huge part of their business but it's not the only part.

$50 for that Madonna shirt? Insane. I resell and looking at this warehouse.. imagine a candy shop as a kid. Call it what you want but they’re having fun at the end of the day as well as making serious cash. If I lived in California I’d be there every week dropping $500+

You should go to Poland or other countries in Eastern Europe, they have thousands of these vintage secondhand clothing warehouses and stuff is like one dollar, even fur coats. Because people are poor there it’s a necessity rather than a fashion for rich kids.

The truth is this man is not just hustling, he is doing what a lot of businesses don’t think they have to do anymore. He is being personable and helpful and kind. I can’t keep count anymore on how many times I’ve just walked out of a store and decided to buy from amazon not because I didn’t have the money, but because I was treated like I was wasting people’s time if I wasn’t coming to y’all to them without cash in my hand.

People don’t understand that after a certain amount of time these T-shirt’s become a wearable canvas. These are art pieces from previous generations that are being found, yes they can be pricey but it’s not everyday you come across an original Metallica tour shirt from the 80s designed by Pushead. The wear and fade to these pieces give character and tell stories from the past and hold true sentimental value for others. These aren’t your ordinary shirts, these are pieces of history that need to be preserved.

@AlphaX They probably sell more vintage at a lower tier price than the higher tier prices. I think perhaps the deal between him and the warehouse guy was fabricated so people don't catch on. They probably do deals by the pound I feel and either person doesn't want to let out their 200% to 500% mark ups. I was in a similar business and we would get things for literally cents and were surprised how much people would pay for some items. This company's social media doesn't seem to be super popular, the comment sections are rather dead. They do net a decent amount from their youtube channel but it's kinda coming off as just another one of those "Hype Beast" things, or maybe a fake it till you make it. The 'vintage' business is booming but he probably makes more off of the newer stuff. I still applaud them.

Sean was talking to some people that look important, he paid no mind and he shouldn't have.. 30 min later we were walking down the street and sean was crossing the street and he yell at us.."hey yo"!! So he ran back to our side of the street and asked us if we had found everything ok in the store and apologies for being busy to say hi as we were paying for some items... Real Dude..... No one ever has done that in my experience, specially when we only spent 100 bucks..
