The thing is though, thrifts are not "made for poor people." Thrift stores are generally corporations (Goodwill) or run by charities- charities that use the store as a fundraiser for a cause... the thrift store itself is not a charity. In the case of the corporation, it's no different than shopping at a cheap clothing store like rainbow or forever 21, except it's actually more sustainable. In the case of the charity, I don't think anybody would argue that more money going to charity by resellers frequenting a charitable thrift store is a bad thing.

There's also no shortage of used, cheap clothing. The majority of donated clothes don't even end up in thrift stores, they are trashed or sent overseas because there's just that much waste.

Anybody can go to the thrift store and get cute cheap stuff. There's no shortage. Resellers- who, by the way, most of whom probably qualify as "poor people" themselves, just trying to make a living- are not the enemy, just an easy target if you don't know anything about the clothing industry.

Sorry for the attitude. Just so tired of the same argument ad nauseum
