Yeah, I love thrift stores but they're not what they used to be. We have a bunch of new "vintage" shops down town that sell shirts for 40$. Where do they get them? They go to goodwill and buy all the cool stuff early in the morning. You still find cool stuff but not as much. Garage sales are also pretty cool. My parents are addicted to buying antique junk at garage sales.

Yes, sadly people who get paid to buy thrift store stuff can afford to get their early and take all the good stuff. Then mark it up way too high.

We have those "Vintage" shops too, and I'll admit some of them really do try to find retro clothing specifically. But some just really are shops with price guns set to stun.

Maybe I'm just jealous tho. I would love to be paid to go around thrift shops and garage sales.
