THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON PRACTICE WITH A LOT OF SG "THRIFT" STORES, should rebrand to THIEF STORES instead. 🥴

i feel like alot of people don't understand what a thrift store is and keep pulling up the argument of "retail". There's a difference between marketing yourself as a thrift store and just a clothing store. You dont see bugis street stores calling themselves a thrift store. But if you call yourself a thrift store but operate with a business model of a store in Bugis street then clearly you're just lying to the customers? lol

honestly the thing that rubs me the wrong way is that it's meant to be a thrift store, which means it should be selling second-hand goods instead of taobao dupes,,, and a lot of thrift stores in sg like to pride themselves on being sustainable and promoting sustainable fashion by giving old clothing a second home, so it's ironic and hypocritical for a "thrift store" to be reselling taobao stuff - a company that goes against the idea of sustainable fashion

The Taobao's cost you see on the search excludes shipping, processing fees & GST. The < $3 is not the cost of the shoes but the socks! Taobao stores tend to put accessories together with an actual product, & the first cost you see is the accessory's price, however, on an e-commerce site, the listing price range cannot be too far apart. I used to be an operations executive who does marketing & e-commerce sites. The shoes I've checked are around $7.50-9.40(excluding shipping), depending on the size. I guess the person doesn't understand Chinese. Sometimes Lazada or Shopee have similar items at slightly cheaper costs inclusive of shipping.

I think it’s pretty common unfortunately. I saw some thrift market vendors have an entire rack filled to the brim with crochet ponchos that looks the same. Some selling old band tees that smell so musty, do they bother to wash it before selling? It makes me turned off thrifting.

Maybe just call these shops "2nd Hand Shops" cause "thrift shops" are defined as shops selling second-hand clothes and household goods, typically to raise funds for a Church or charity. If they changed it to "2nd hand shops" it would mean Clothing that has already been used by someone else is also called as used clothing, second-hand clothing, pre-owned clothing, pre-loved clothes and bale clothing. If all is in order like that then the pricing would be under the business itself to price.

what are u saying.. that thrift store is not a church thrift store why would a thrift store in a mall donate the money to a church usually church thrift stores are next or near THE CHURCH.. this is a different topic the topic is that they're making people pay a higher amount for something u can buy so cheap online and call themselves a thrift stores

there was this one store in the peace center that had several shein on the rack, used and shein, yeah that's exactly what i was looking for 😐 only in Japan and Korea do i experience good 2nd hand clothing that's worth the money. in Manila you can find really good ones depends where, but if you're lazy the surplus shop in an actual mall has some good deals, the brand labels are removed but when the staff are lazy you get stuff with the brand labels still showing.

This isn't just happening in SG, it's a SEA issue. I've seen this across Thailand and the Philippines too. I've seen this abused more in niche/alternative communities.

factoring in time and effort to purchase online, shipping and GST, also the time and effort to take photos and list online, answering customers' enquiries....you expect them to sell without a profit? isn't it the same as parallel imports?

People are just making a fuss about nothing. It’s like arguing over which grain of sand is the most authentic on a beach. Whether it’s about fake brands or inflated prices, it’s all just humans doing their thing in a universe that couldn’t care less.

do you understand what a thrift store is? they claim to have curated vintage but mix up marked up taobao stuff to deceive people into thinking its vintage stuff. theres a diff between a thrift store and normal clothing store

unfortunately this is very normalised... i was in korea a month ago and i saw the exact same phone case that i got from shopee in hongdae and the shop was selling it for 3 times the shopee price 🥲🥲

you have clearly misunderstood. this is NOT normal there is nothing wrong for a RETAIL store in Korea to sell items from China/Thailand/Vietnam at any price this video is talking about THRIFT stores (definition: curated original vintage/2nd hand goods) selling FAKE goods from Taobao (China first hand items) so THRIFT stores in SG are selling FAKE illegal branded items. Selling them as ORIGINAL vintage/2nd hand goods by deceiving customers thinking they are buying original used items and helping sustainability
