Honestly, "poor"people deserve nice things too. I have no problem with most reseller's, especially ones like the Hello kitty crap. NO ONE needs those ceramics lol. That's a pure "want" and people should pay crazy prices for their crazy desires... Same for the purse I just bought. I wanted a new purse, didn't exactly need one. Got a great Dooney&Bourke bag for $40! But I put in the work. But I realize some people don't have as much free time as I do to scroll online looking for a deal.
When 20+ resellers are buying up every brand item in a thrift store, that's also ridiculous. "Poor" people, people on a budget, going through a tough time, they deserve to feel pretty finding a pair of Nine West booties, or feel trendy finding/wearing a Nike bra or Free People sweater, etc. When "the poors" are working multiple jobs to support their family and can't make the time to beat the resellers everytime they want to go to the store, it's frustrating to see. They deserve to feel good about themselves too, or find a fun label brand name sometimes too. I'm not demonizing most reseller's, but we shouldn't see it as "beggars can't choosers" every single time. The "poors" don't deserve only the non-label "scraps" leftover. Let the low-income-ladies feel pretty too sometimes! 😂
See, I completely agree with this ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing
yet ticket touting is a crime, so some reselling is clearly rigging the market, but I need clothes as a legal requirement and don't need tickets to Cats
in England it started with a show called Mary Queen of Shops you can find on here involving charity shops, she TOLD them to be classist and redesign as boutiques and price up to attract 'better' customers literally her words
@@RakeedahsCloset you need to look up Greater Fool Theory, flipping and reselling is not a job it's literally a known economics scam. Tulip fever was one historical version.
@@RakeedahsCloset n.b. also look into price fixing or price rigging which is illegal no matter who is doing it so clearly a lot of this 'reselling business' stuff is literally a crime, it's illegal already
I thrift items when I'm not taking care of babies 😂, and I drive 1-2 hours to go to the thrift stores and consignment stores and take hours searching for stuff, and then I come home clean them condition the leather and sometimes put hours and even days into certain items, so when I sell it I want to be paid for my work ❤ but still offer a good deal to my buyers! So I agree 1000% with you ❤ and thanks for the shout out bestie ❤
So true! They need to understand that they are paying for resellers time and work! Love you bestie ❤️❤️❤️
shopping is not a job, everyone literally everybody in society does it. cleaning clothes is also not a job, literally everybody does it. I repair clothing for family for free - it is also NOT A REAL JOB. These things are a hobby and nobody needs to fund your hobby karen. Same people are painting over antiques like painting dark furniture ikea white or cutting old paintings out of frames to reframe some random doodle of theirs or chopping up old books for middle aged pinterest projects. Don't be a hipster Karen.
The "I hate thrift store" reseller conversation drives me nuts. It takes a lot of work to sift through racks and racks of clothes and shoes across many thrift stores to find one piece. No, thank you, not for me! Also, with this argument people fail to mention the insane amount of clothes that are not bought and then wrapped up and shipped to other countries for them to deal with. We are an over-consuming society. There is enough for everyone times 10! I have tried to thrift and I don't like it. I would rather pay someone for their time and efforts to find me the specially curated vintage items. And honestly, if people went every day to the thrift store they would find their items cheaper. I enjoy your content! Thanks for the video! 😄
Period! I’m like you Elisa 😝 I’m NOT shifting and searching through all that! My patience is not set up for that. That’s the part they are missing. They are paying for people’s time and effort! Thank you beautiful ❤️❤️
Yes you are too good for shopping, the thing everybody does. You, and only you, are uniquely too good to stand along the riff raff and find your own size. smh
@@RakeedahsCloset Bigger question: Why do Millennials (I am also one) feel like the whole world has to fund our hobbies? I keep seeing this entitlement that just because we enjoy something, ppl need to pay us. Not everything is a side gig it's a rank Boomerism. Some things are just hobbies and the world doesn't have to fund our hobbies. Hobbies actually lose money, that's normal, but Gen Y has forgotten this? It's like tulip fever for gross band t-shirts soaked in some guy's sweat. I've seen people run clothes through a washing machine (they had to anyway?) then try to charge £50-150 more because it was suddenly clean? Insanity. Or they 'clean' antiques and vintage silver and damage the patina which made it valuable in the first place! Or paint over dark wood furniture a weird Ikea white after SANDING it down when the ORIGINAL finish made it valuable! Like thanks, they killed it? Hipsters trying to flip stuff are ruining vintage items of history. They will smash old ceramics to use them in mosaic projects! Monsters! Cutting real ORIGINAL paintings out of frames, or the hipsters painting stupid kitsch stuff OVER real paintings like it's cute (are they five?) and chopping up old out of print books for some pinterest cringe they could do with newspaper or scanning the art in and reprinting it then painting over THAT. RUclips and TT give bad information on vintage and antique items. It actually ruins the value so they never sell because collectors like me don't wanna buy something they ruined on principle and resellers call us all stupid as if we don't understand value when they destroyed it. I can also make clothes and homewares from scratch and it's STILL only a hobby and not a job. Like I'm not charging a kid in the family to fix a button on a teddy bear or something when that's five minutes of effort and something all adults need to learn. It's disgusting behaviour to rip off kid's items and upsell those too. Autistic kids for example obsess over collections so parents aren't even bothering to start now, resellers have ruined a child's joy on many occasions. Women are taking baby blankets to make dresses because some costuber owning a farm does that. Erm, they CAN afford fabric? She owns a FARM. This slumming it behaviour from hobbyists is disgusting, trying to seem relatable. I grew up repairing things and it's a need, not an 'artisanal handmade handcrafted eco-friendly upcycled item'. It's a HOBBY. We need to get over ourselves? Nobody is asking them to do this and they actually damage the items because the internet's information is often false, they also 'repair' things badly like painting leather and that ALWAYS peels and causes designer items for example to immediately be legally fake, since the designer themselves didn't repair it. They are also legally required to declare repairs and resellers have TOLD ME they 'don't have to'.... erm yes they do? We need regulations on these people it's obscene. They refurb an old cast iron pan and don't even lead test it but declare it safe to eat from! Not how it works? Many were used to melt down lead in the olden days but Zoomers and Millennials are quite dumb and don't bother to properly learn because it takes decades. They think a 'bodge job' (DIY) is equivalent to a professional restoration from an expert and get angry at the other people for their faults when it's FUBAR. I have seen an influencer go at an antique chair with a STAPLE GUN and modern nails just hammering away splitting the wood, I could HEAR it. From about ten feet away on a camera, I could hear the wood splitting on a rare Regency era chair (she wanted a Bridgerton chair but hated the colour) that she refuses to sit in now because she KNOWS she broke it. It sits in a corner, broken and worthless. 200 years of history DOWN the drain because she felt crafty one weekend with a massive hammer splitting antique, dried out wood. My nerd rage is immeasurable as an antiquarian since I grew up to honour items passed down through people's families and lovingly treasured, these items are literally historic and rarer every passing year, since the pinterest hipsters are butchers. They could buy an ikea thing and paint that instead, that would be fine by me and all people like me. Instead they buy like a 50s table and paint it lime green with zebra stripes then call us stupid for not buying it. But they ruin things. We don't want new things, or things that look new/tatty that's the entire reason it was valuable. Crass people, with bad taste thinking they have a place at the table for vintage item lovers, they claim to be like us for attention and clout. Old stuff is trendy right now and in dwindling supply because of these twits. We despise them cause they earned our contempt. The one rule like Fight Club is don't F it up. This is why we still have apprenticeships for things, you must study under a person so you don't make it worse than you found it. The ONE rule is don't destroy the historical integrity of whatever items (we are all merely CUSTODIANS or else bandits who BTW FYI used to cut paintings out of frames too!) and they do it, they destroy its integrity for future generations' enjoyment, then feel entitled to praise for breaking things like a kid carving their name on a pyramid (yes that happens). Old things are valuable because they haven't been tainted with some womanchild or manchild's craft project. This has gotta stop. These people use cheap white lead paint on an indoor table intended for food, it's illegal. They don't disclose the nature of repairs either, or get defensive if you ask. I grew up around furniture and these people are ruthless destroyers of history. Again, nobody asked them to do these things. They tried and were bad at it. I went to rebuy a table from my childhood and the only one I could find was SANDED down, losing all the detailed hand-made wood carvings that made it worthwhile, they ripped off the original fabric curtain around it, lost the glass top, and it was painted a disgusting vulgar shade of pink. I like pink even bright pink, but only in like clothes. It was ghastly and tacky to butcher this furniture. Nobody wanted to buy it. For years it was up there. No wonder! I wonder WHY??? It looked like an Ikea project gone awfully wrong, it was upsetting to see. Every twit with some sandpaper and a paintbrush is doing it now. We're becoming the Boomers, like that badly repainted Jesus in a church in France, or where they slap a sticker on a Boombox that didn't work and try to sell it for like a grand. I saw that in a video. Lunacy. The vintage/antique butchery from these people has gotta stop! Upcycling is destroying history and items of integrity, cover that please? Pirates used to destroy items they stole too, true story. It's ignorant behaviour from a supposedly educated generation.
Your points are valid. I have no issue with re-sellers in general. I do get annoyed when some resellers buy a huge number of items and then re-sell them at extortionate price increases! (EG: The Chanel mirror scandal!) However, that does not apply to thrifting since anyone can get up early and buy the bargain items if they want to! Thank you for the video!
It is annoying when you want to get your hands on a drop, but people buy them out. I get annoyed too! Thanks friend ❤️
untrue, staff hold items to the side for them
You are so correct, Rakeedah. If something is being sold for a price you are unwilling to pay, do like Dionne Warwick said and “walk on byyyy, walk on by.” It’s like deciding whether you’re going to buy your groceries at Walmart, Aldi or you’re going to a bougie grocery store like Publix, Kroger or Wegman’s. I really want that large Empire bag but I know what I’m willing to pay for it. If I had been able to buy two or three, I would’ve kept one and listed the other two on ebay, Poshmark or some other reseller platform for a profit which is the American way. That’s not a scam. A scam would be selling something fake as the real deal. I’m through, over and out!
They better listen to Dionne 😝🤣 Exactly!! If I take the time and patience to list something for sale, I should be able to make a profit. Resellers are not people’s free personal shoppers.
Yesss to the tru-nicles!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂 I love these!! ♥️
😭😂❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree with you!
It’s Econ 101- Supply & Demand.
Supply & Demand
supply demand applies to discretionary purchases of a non-essential quality and not secondhand goods either, clothes are legally mandatory and secondhand clothes are for the poor to use. They can't just go around naked and get arrested. The slumming it aspect of rich kids dressing poor is especially tasteless and vulgar.
I got upcharged $800 for these LVxTimbs boots. I wanted them, so I did what I had to do!
They were worth it to you and THAT IS ALL that matters! Yea, it’s annoying, but like you said, you did what you had to do
Apsolutely right!! 💯
They say every product has a buyer, either be the buyer or don't.
Whatever we buy, NOTHING is worth the money that we are spending. It's just that we want it so bad that it justifies ~~in ouuuur miiiiiiind.
Rakeedah ♡
Exactly!! It really is that simple! ❤️
Rakeedah you crack me up and yes I 100% agree with you. It's up to the buyer as to wether they think an item is worth it and no one is twisting their arm to buy. Obviously the reseller is trying to make money.
Period. Any business is IN BUSINESS to make the most money as possible. 🤷🏾♀️❤️
Girlllll. Facts. Straight Facts. Why be mad at the reseller. Yes, you brought it, so talk to yourself. Lol. Oh, I live that coach bag too. It's so cute.
Accountability. They act like the sellers are making them spend their money! I am still trying to talk myself out that bag Janiece 😫
In England it's called depop cancer. They are viewed as taking good quality clothes from the backs of the poor. If you can afford middle class prices, buy from middle class brands. It's the whole slumming it part we also object to.
Yes! There you go making all kinds of sense again! ❤😂. I’m obsessed with the Empire bag too, hehe! The big tote bag size! And I don’t need another tote bag, lol!
I am trying my best not to buy it for the same reason! 🤣🤣 I have too many totes and I am falling into the hype, but it is such a beautiful bag
hahah, thank you for sharing your perspectives....I have to agree with you, but some resellers really over charge....if I don't like the prices, I don't buy. Lot's of people resell. I think it's just rage baiting.
I thinks it’s disappointing to see something that we want to buy, but don’t like the price. But what can we do 😫 like you said don’t buy it. It sucks! Thank you friend 🥰
Exactly & it is only worth what you are willing to pay for it. You just have to patient if you're not willing to pay what a reseller is asking & look elsewhere.
Exactly. I completely agree ☺️
Supply & demand, America has a free market economy & that’s just the name of the game 🤷🏽♀️ we have the power to buy & sell
Absolutely Queen 🥰
Preach!
I agree w/ you and let’s get something straight Goodwill is not a “charity” store they make money off the item that was donated for free so they are basically a “reseller”. If someone wants to find items to resell to make money that is not different then the seller who is selling it to begin with. They mark it up so even at 50% off they are making money and yet we still go to the stores and purchase things. Yes whole idea of hating resellers is ridiculous.
And I found out Goodwill has a website…I mean 😒
Agree with your points 😊
😎
No, you are not alone on an island.
Agree 💯
I appreciate resellers. Living in Small Town USA, we don’t get everything all the others stores may get. Also, Asia exclusive items. I’m able to get special items I normally wouldn’t be able to.
That’s a good point! I didn’t even think about small town America! Resellers are a lifesaver in some situations
No, you are not alone on an island. I sell things that I personally have in my closet
If I wouldn't wear it, I wouldn't sell it. If I am not wearing it or carrying anymore, I will sell it, 100 percent of the time-AT A LOSS.
I love resellers....saved me a ton of 🤑 on 👜👜👜👜👜
Win/win situation 🥰❤️
Shoot let me finally go downstairs to my basement and sort out these clothes so I can make me some extra bucks!! ROFL
PERIOD!!! If you supply, you demand… your money Queen 😝
@@RakeedahsCloset Yessss let me in the group chat wit Winnie N dem ROFL
Supply and demand. You want it bad enough to pay a $300 up charge I’m here to supply you, baby! 😂 It’s that simple. People who can’t afford it wouldn’t entertain resellers they’d go to their local thrift stores themselves they’re not paying resellers any mind. If they knew they’d probably do it themselves.
It really is that simple!
I buy from eBay and FB marketplace so don’t mind resellers. What I don't like is some of their practices such the price gouging (remember Taylor's concert tickets) or not fully disclosing the condition of the item. I get it, they are there to make money but some are just ridiculous.
When you posted about the unsubscribers, I thought the same thing as you... what vibe were you giving for them to think that you support that bully. That's insane!!!
Yeah! And I think that the resellers that are just GREEDY with their profits are the ones that ruining the reputation of resellers. And the dishonest ones that don’t disclose the true condition of the items! Completely agree.
FRIEND…like I was so confused 🤣🤣🤣 I really wanted to ask “How are you shocked?” I genuinely wanted to know! INSANE! 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
The “ I hate resellers” video was absurd. They are saying how bad it was to be finding the “gems”, like the Birkenstocks and those Nikes. The complaint is that these video folks didn’t find the deal. You don’t find the deal sitting on your butt complaining to your friends. I believe, and I may be wrong, if someone is shopping thrift because they don’t have a choice, they aren’t interested in the label, they want the shoe to be in decent shape and clean. They want the clothes to be fit and wearable. Labels aren’t important when someone is trying to get by.
I completely agree!
While I do agree mostly, I still think people who are struggling deserve to find a fun label or an occasional brand item that makes them feel pretty, trendy etc. Just because we're poor doesn't mean we only deserve the "scraps".
Most truly poor people are working multiple jobs and can't afford the time to go beat the resellers every time they go to the store though. It doesn't mean they don't deserve a bargain surprise every now and then just because they can't afford to keep up with the Jones's.
Ain't that the price of selling sumptin?! 💀💀💀WHY do you have to be so funny sitting there all pretty in your very pretty home? That ain't fair on the rest of us 😘 Weirdly, i LIKE resellers. I buy stuff from Japan that I could not even access if it wasn't for resellers. I pay more than I would if I also lived in Japan, but I don't, so I pay.... or not.
Thank you so much 😘🥰❤️ I like resellers too, because there’s no way I would have the patience to track something down the way that they do. Also, they give access to items that sometimes people would have access too.
girl let do you everyone like money people need mind on business people should do work if Want then empire I just wait but want so much I would buy empire is just big gym bag I would get p9 speedy that more worth
I think that’s the point that they are missing. We are paying for those people time! 🥰
@@RakeedahsCloset Money I pray resaleer to get P9 speedy 40 but do not so it cool
