| - I decided to do a little fall cleaning and clear my closet of the tons of clothing I don't wear. Most of it is little to lightly worn, things I bought out of impulse or that simply didn't fit right. Instead of giving it away like I usually do, I thought I'd try out trading it/selling it. Buffalo exchange has such a cool reputation here in Vegas so I called there to get info. They told me they were taking winter/fall clothes, jeans, Halloween costumes and would consider dresses and tanks even though it's not the season.
So I emptied out a majority of my closet, I'm talking at least 50%. Figured I would start the season with some new stuff and get more space.
I get to the store, look around and found literally 5 things I liked. A cool, vintage peacoat, and a few pairs of jeans. Then I bring in my 2 massive plastic storage containers full of clothing. The girl looked through all of my items and said she didn't want any of them. Not one. A lot of the stuff was brand new, never worn, still with tags on them. I had express jeans, lucky jeans, Levi's, a leather coat, cute Vegas dresses, even a brand new hot topic tutu for the Halloween costumes they said they'd be buying many of!
The kicker is, most of their clothing.. I wouldn't buy. Ripped, tacky, outdated. I found some gems that I loved, that I still purchased. But what a waste of my time. I'm not sure what their criteria is for clothing, but there's a much nicer consignment store on Flamingo called Trend Traders that I went to after that bought many of my items. And their store was much nicer with many nicer options if you want to purchase.
