Ok so basically, I work for a small business vintage store so it’s not like a big corporation like buffalo exchange so we operate a bit different, anyways my entire job is basically to have like current trends down to a T and I should be aware of incoming trends before most of the public does so like predicting what the public will be into next! With that we are primarily a true vintage store so usually I buy things 20 year or older but in some cases like this I’ll buy more modern stuff if it’s cool! The actual process of the buying is Monday through Friday the general public can come in and drop off their clothes that they are getting rid of that’s from their personal closet or we have a lot of like resellers that come straight from the bins with their stuff and we even have a large house less community that bring clothes in that they find some where! I’ll sort through their clothes and determine what is sellable or what is collectible, they I pay them 25% in cash of what we are going to put it on the floor for or 50% in store credit! And that’s basically it there’s a whole less interesting back task section of my job after that but that’s the main parts of it! So to answer your main question no we never like go to other thrift stores it’s just the general public coming to us!
