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.

Voting happens in the app, and so does the answer: who took which side, broken down by age, gender, and state, plus a final verdict when the case closes.

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

@crystald_glam+102

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
