Thrift websites questions

Depop and the like are capitalistic ventures, they take a cut of everything people sell, but so do sites like Bandcamp, so they're probably as good as you're gonna get honestly, at least from the sites I've heard of. I'd say don't let perfection be the enemy of good, it's still better to get clothes second-hand, as long as the company isn't funding genocide or something.

I can confirm that Goodwill pays shit wages, but so does Salvation Army (I've managed stores for both in the past), so I'm wondering if that isn't just the norm for working at a thrift store.

 

I have never seen those sites.
Could start a thread on APN and post things we want / need and/or post things we have to share or trade. .... vinyl. band shirts.

Usually in small towns there are local thrifts (I know because I live in a town without one but near towns with locally owned stores. One of them even has a goodwill but the local has a lot more stuff). You may not be able to find them easily on google but ask around or zoom in on the map. If not, look at towns near you. I am half an hour from any thrift. You can always find something.

 

I remember living in Austin and loving Goodwill's. Because there were many in our locale and any given nite you could roll through one and tons of donations were stacked up- dropped of items after close. Beautiful, vulture memories.

.....Maybe the admins cans make a sub forum for it?.....

APN does have admins, they'd need to set up an actual sub-forum. The best that we end-users could make is a thread.

 

That would be choice. I definitely know vinyl I want & choice vinyl I would be willing to trade.
I have been cutting bait on double vinyls and band shirts this year, just to travel lighter. When I share my toys with other cats- it feels better than , as if, I told mi hijo/hija to bury the dead with their art.....I feel at peace knowing that art survives better when not treated like a commodity.
And we wouldn't be paying handling fees or duty taxes.

 

I forgot to mention, my girlfriend uses vinted and has no complaints about it to my knowledge. There are a lot of websites out there.
