The staff in thrift stores are always the most insufferable art hoes in existence

you wont find anything good outside of a major city in america

I've gone to thrift shops all my life: I grew up in second hand clothes and the only items I buy new are underwear and socks.
It's starting to suck more and more now middle and uppermiddleclass normies are doing it more and more, either buying stuff while they could afford normal clothes or you have even worse vultures that search thrift shops for the few good items, put a 80 euro tag on it and sell it as a vintage in a boutique in the big cities.

Only way I'm still able to do it is because I've become friends with the thrift shop owners or church charity volunteers over the years, and they now tell me when new stuff gets in.

its based in theory, but the fact no one will ever have your size and >>14297690 can make it a frustrating experience

>>14297699
I mean I've been more of a wal-mart/k-mart guy, only getting decent stuff from the malls or shopping outlets for christmas or birthday. Hope I won't intrude on getting cool looking clothes from the good will.

>>14297690
my favorite salvation army thrift only staffs average joes and indians that worked with textiles. theyre aware hiring hipsters/artfags will cause a sudden drop in earnings since they pocket the good stuff.

>Is thrifting based as fuck?
Maybe if you travel 5 years back in time

>>14297719
Salvation army is often better than regular thrift shops, it still has the stigma of being pure charity for poor people so less arthoes or vintagefags there. It also has the benefit that often, when grampas or grandmas die their spouse or children will just donate al their clothing to the salvation army, leading you to find high quality brand preppy clothes that's been not worn out too much.
It's easiest to maintain a preppycore aesthetic if you get most clothes through thrifting as modern clothes will always be 5 years old: too old to be in style and too new to have become retro.

thriftng is for poor and low class people, no thank you.

>>14297686
Goodwill and Savers is all about having a good eye. A lot of retailer stores will dump their over stock like target. You can get really good quality for next to nothing. It's also about finding the right thrift. Don't go to ones in poor neighborhoods they tend to be more picked over and less good finds. Good luck happy hunting.

>>14297698
Except vintage.

>>14297690
All of the thrift stores I've been to have been manned by volunteers. So it's kindly old ladies or out of work people.

Last time I got some stuff a thrift store, the cashier only had the two thumbs. No fingers. Impressively fast in spite of it.

>>14297686
I live in the wealthy LGBTQ neighborhood in Seattle and always find TONS of great stuff at my local goodwill. Like some days I wear entire outfits that are thrift head to toe. With the obvious exception of undies lol. But if you live in like, rural iowa or some shit, don’t bother.

>>14297690
Hah! My rural goodwill is entirely ran by nice retards and MILFs

>>14297801
Which goodwill? Udistrict fuckign gay and cap hill even faggier.

>>14297690
I've only encountered White Hairs, Church Moms, and Mexicans, you're going to the wrong spots friendo.

>>14297690
if you go to thrifts run by art hoes, you're overpaying. find out when your goodwill gets new stuff or go when it opens, go to goodwills in nicer parts of town, do the work yourself.

if you don't dress like the people who usually thrift, they can be great.

>>14298321
Cap Hill, of course it’s gay dude it’s literally the gay neighborhood

>>14298440
I just dont even think it has that good of selection most of time. The basement is nice though and I sometimes buy a book there.

>>14298448
Yeah I am a femanon so can’t say much for their men’s clothing selection but I’ve always had great luck
And yeah almost all my furniture is from that goodwill lol I’m fucking poor

>>14297690
Lmaooooooo. Don't shop at any of those hipster owned thrift stores. Most goodwill I go to has a good staff and good inventory. I only met one art hoe thrift store worker in my life. And I thrift a ton. For my goodwills, its usually the disabled, and old ladies that work there

Is thrifting viable in Europe?

>>14298941
are you in the poor part of Europe? If yes then yes.

>>14298948

Thrifting has gotten expensive where I am, overpriced, oversized and overworn. Sometimes you can get lucky though if you shop around.

>>14298505

>Thrifting has gotten expensive
This!

The prices at most thrift stores now are insane considering you're buying other people's junky used shit.


Every now and then you find an interesting or rare item that's worth the price but 99% of the inventory I come across is too old to be trendy, too new to be vintage and only marginally cheaper than brand new shit you can find with the same dated aesthetic.

I'm not sure how this happened. You've got increasing popularity with arthoes and hipsters over the last 10 years. But there has to be more to it because they wouldn't wear half this shit. I see a lot more suburbanite moms lately. Maybe they're the ones paying these prices. There seems to be a trend with higher pricing fir recognizable brands, I can only assume that's due to these moms. Things like Nike will be priced 10-30% higher than better but lesser known brands.

>>14302956
I think it has a lot to do with where you live and the demographic who sells or donates their shit to these places

never find anything that isn't some dusty shit barely fit for someone in their 90s

You guys hate art hoes because they wont fuck you. Here's the thing though, they WILL fuck you, art hoes know they're lower tier and they're really easy. They wear clothes to obscure their poor assets, flabby asses, bad boobs etc. Just give them an excuse ffs, stop acting like an autist, go see some awful music, and talk to them. If you know BASIC music theory you will blow their mind. This board needs to collectively get their dicks wet. Just don't expect a relationship.

In Paris thrifting is painful. Paris is painful. Fuck this shitty city.

>>14297690
the only thirft stores worth going to are the ones run by old people or retards. the ones ran by arthoes expect you to pay half the original price of expensive pieces, good places have no clue how much their stuff is worth and sell everything from 2 to 10 bucks
