Then I went home and googled some videos about thrift stores in my city.

For all the re-seller haters, most of the people in the thrift who are doing actual survival buying, aren't looking for a Reformation dress. People who actually do need the thrift are generally buying your Target style clothes (like everybody else in life) or t-shirts, jeans, suits for work. The thrifts in my area aren't upcharging for everyday items, they are upcharging for the Reformation dress they know re-sellers are looking for. Also don't assume that all re-sellers are rich entitled teens. There are so many who buy to support families back in other countries, elderly people on fixed incomes selling to make some extra money, moms working from home, people trying to pay for college, and the list goes on. It is not just "poor people" out there who are trying to survive the best way they know how so don't be so quick to judge.

What do you mean??? In my local thrift stores resellers will literally come in first thing in the morning after a new delivery and buy everything that is high quality/fashionable by the standards of current teens. The only things left after that are the biggest and smallest sizes of jeans + workout pants. Oh, and also stretched out sweaters... When the inflation in your country is insane, people throw themselves at thrift stores and everything nice *would* get bought over the course of the week, even if resellers didn't exist. A lot of people from my school visit every thrift store that they can possibly walk to once or twice a week. The problem is resellers buy out everything actually *nice* in the first hour of the thrift stores being open... And then sell it for more money. Which means that usually finding something good in a thrift store takes a couple weeks of constant visits. I'm sorry, but reselling is just selfish, especially in areas where people are generally not well off. It's just robbing the overall community out of quality clothes for one's own personal gain because some reseller can afford to buy out half of the shop the day new clothes come in. Fun that you love vintage shopping online, but all of those reseller's online posts could have gone to people who can't afford them anymore after the mark up the resellers put on them. At least that's how it it in my community where thrift stores are heavily depended on

@@kuerta I always find cute stuff at my thrift stores and there’s always so many clothes. Employees are constantly refilling the racks so much that it’s hard to get the clothes out of the rack. There is a surplus of clothing in this planet, not a shortage. Did you know that most stuff in thrift stores never sell? I bet not. What you consider nice stuff at a thrift store is relative. Some people go to find exclusively certain vintage styles, others go to find modern brands, etc. This whole thing in which resellers are being demonized is a very recent thing because of ignorant tik tok people as if vintage sellers haven’t existed since forever. Tik tok just told you to be triggered about this when there is no issue. You’re mad at a problem that doesn’t exist. And some areas have better thrift stores than others. If you’re from a big city, yes, thrift stores are going to suck because there’s more people in big cities. Thrift stores always get picked over during the morning, again, this has always been the case but tik tok is telling you that this is a new thing. Don’t be a sheep. I haven’t seen a reseller that became rich from reselling. Rich people don’t have a need to do this. Many thrift stores are for charity. They don’t care about who buys their stuff, they care about the money that goes to charities. But as I said, you would rather thrift stores get less money for charity because you are jealous of what resellers do. They do the work that you don’t want to do. They wake up early, spend hours on thrift stores, they keep up with the dates in which there will be sales, they talk to the employees, etc. This is all stuff that you can do yourself. No one is stopping you. This is all jealousy from women to women, very sad. And it’s veiled under the guise of “I just care about the poor people!” No you don’t. You would be more than happy to have charity thrift stores sell less ,get less charity money, and have more clothes end up in landfills in third world countries if it means that the “evil” resellers can’t make some cash. Thrift stores are for everyone, that was always the point of thrift stores. To say that only poor people should buy there is classist and elitist.

@@adriana12995 Constantly refilled thrift store racks? I acknowledge that thrift store resellers might be useful in areas where thrift stores are not constantly full of people, but once again, that depends on the area. In my city thrift stores get a refill every Monday and that is it. There's no sales, and everyone spends hours on thrift stores. I'm sorry, but you sound like you're from a community where malls are more popular than thrifting and thrift stores don't get nearly as much business as in my city. It also sounds like thrift stores function differently where you're from. Here, resellers are a genuine problem, because like I said, they will buy out half of the store on Monday and then post it online. One could say it's a good thing, but I won't when it makes people unable to get their hands on things locally. The fact that thrift stores in your city have an overabundance of clothes show that we live in completely different situations. Maybe in yours resellers are appreciated because they help to get rid of the overfilled racks - but in mine they only add to the problem of people not being able to buy clothes. Resellers sound great when the community is not making use of what they have available and the clothes need to go somewhere else to avoid being thrown out. But not every community will be like that, thus resellers are not needed everywhere. Oh, and also, I don't use tiktok... My opinion on resellers is personal experience

[@kuerta]

Also, once again, from what I've seen: resellers only ever target things that would be bought anyway - for example perfect condition, with a brand logo, or something a teen/young adult would wear - since they're buying them with the intention to sell as quickly as possible. If resellers were to help the issue of clothes going into landfills, they would have to go in and grab the few clothes left on racks at the end of the week, the ones that no one locally wants to buy... Which is just bad business practice because they probably won't be able to sell those online either. Fishing out the best clothes before anyone locally can is helping no one except the reseller. It's also not helping landfills because resellers only buy things that would be bought anyway, since those are the things that they will be able to sell. Well, unless you don't live in an area where thrift stores are nearly empty by Friday. Also - "I always find cute stuff at my thrift stores." Once again we live in a different reality and situation because here, that is definitely not the case

Everyone saying that clothes in thrift stores will go to waste and re-sellers are just helping out are wrong. None of the items they resell would’ve been going to a landfill because they specifically go for items they know will sell for more, which are the items that people are most likely to buy at thrift stores.

[@turntohome7426]

I love thrifting!! I never act like this, but I have seen it. If I see someone pick up something I would like to have, I walk away and a lot of times I find it when I walk back over. I try to be considerate, and if someone seems to be interested in something, I just keep going. If I don’t find anything good… no big deal. I can usually find it brand new at Hobby Lobby or Target for almost the same price. Especially nowadays. 😂😂I grew up so so dirt poor, but now I can afford to buy an item new if I really really love it. The main idea here, is consumerism mindset is taking over our lives.

I usually go to thrift stores to buy things for My My Little Pony Collection and for other toys I collect. I've once found a $30 My Little Pony for $4 and fixed it up for my collection. It was $30 on eBay previously owned so I managed to get a deal. I buy used toys sometimes just to fix them up and give them a new home when they are still a good deal. I once got a doll for $4 that needed the hair fixed just to give it to my cousin after fixing it. It was worth buying.

I guess people dont realise that reselling can be an actual job. Yes i am a reseller as well and its actually one of the 3 jobs i have. I use it to pay for school and my monthly bills! Thrift shops also stopped being for the poor years ago (before the reselling hype even started). Most thrift shops just want to earn as much money as possible off stuff they got for free. They know people will pay it anyway so the prices will stay high/will be higher in the future 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
