unpopular opinion: thrifting has gotten worse and it's because of resellers like me
i resell. i'm part of the problem. everything decent gets pulled in the first hour by people with apps who don't even look at it, they scan it. my mom got her whole wardrobe from goodwill in the 90s for nothing. now the same store has a $34 tag on a shirt because someone at corporate looked up a comp.
What People Are Saying
respect for putting yourself in the post honestly
Estate sales too. Used to be families and neighbors. Now there's a queue at 6am and they're all on phones.
i mean i'm also part of the problem and i'd stop if it stopped paying, which it won't
Is it rude when a cashier starts scanning the next customer's items before I've finished bagging?
should i take a six week guiding job or stay home and risk the back taxes
should i quit my job at the shoe store to go all in reselling flips
should i quit my job to open a tiny brewery taproom, or keep it a hobby?

records went through this ten years ago and it never came back. the scanning is the difference. it's not shopping anymore, it's arbitrage
