An ok place to buy, you may find something that you may like, but this review is mostly about their buying department. I usually donate my used clothes at the local salvation army, but still always end up with some clothes through the years that I just can't part from. You know those favorite shirts, shoes or pants that you once wore to that special place or event back in the days and are hoping to wear them again someday but you never do? Today against the wishes of the other me, decided finally to get rid of them, I needed more space, let go of the past. I took them to Buffalo Exchange since they supposedly carry better things than all the other thrift stores, I was sure they would be happy to take them from me. I walked around the store to get a sense of what they were selling, and I really didn't see the difference between the salvation army thrift store or savers from this one, same kind of clothes, old beat up shoes, and the same aroma, I told the lady at the counter that I was interested in selling some items, I brought them in and the "only I know what I'm looking for" specialist went through my past one shirt at a time.
"there's nothing here that we would be interested in buying" she said.
what!!!!? There is nothing better or nicer in the whole store than what I brought in! Do you even know what this is?! Feel this! (the material, if I may clarify) Is the real thing! and my clothes don't smell like someone died in them!
I couldn't believe what she had said it was like someone told me that nothing from my past was worth a dime! I picked up all my rejected things and left the store inflamed, which it wasn't a good idea with all that polyester on my hands. But I shouldn't take it personal. Who made her the expert on anything? most people were leaving the store empty handed, besides 10 years from now she's going to look at her senior pictures on her yearbook and realize how wrong she was on the hair and clothes she picked that day! I'll just put all my things back in my closet and keep them for a couple more years...... I know disco is coming back!
