Keep on RANTING! I am a supervisor of a non-profit thrift store, and my manager and I fight tooth and nail to keep things genuinely thrifty for the exact reason you're stating. We have to fight against our own volunteers and board of directors sometimes because some of them *do not get it.* You want to know the crazy thing though? We are making record profits for our organization now because our business model focuses on moving items quickly. Yes, resellers get their share, but we try our best to spread the love.

All thrift stores in my area have lost their damn minds with pricing. It’s also so difficult to find vintage anything anymore. My husband, my daughter and I ❤ thrifting, but the prices and abundance of fast fashion have definitely reduced the amount we go sadly.
Love Lost Highway! Good find❤

“It was so expensive, even my cart was leaving” 🤣🤣. *I know how you feel cart, Melbourne Op-shop prices are getting ridiculous! SUPPOSED to be helping those of us in need… Just a tip: if you have old towels and blankets to donate, ANIMAL SHELTERS always need these! Sending big hugs to Atticus (hope he’s doing well)🐶❤️

I live in Canada and not only are the prices getting ridiculously high, but the racks are stuffed with crappy fast fashion garbage clothes. It is so hard to find anything that is good quality anymore. I understand your frustration!! Cheers!!

the scream i would've scrumpt finding that blink 182 cd!!! the thrift stores near me never have any good or even modern music on their cds, i'd kill to own that 😭

Sad the prices are increasing, here in Austin, TX thrift stores are ridiculously priced too high. Honestly cheaper to buy new clothes when they are on sale.

Love the video and how vocal you're about this issue! Keep up the great work!

20 for shoes is like nearing normal shop prices when they’ve got a sale on. These are second hand pieces why arnt they lower…

[robinschuett]

You are so correct some thrift stores I don't shop anymore

You’re genuinely so funny I love your humour so much😭🖤

Not having resellers means their products will stay longer in the store, and eventualy they will need storage. Also more thrash will be left to undeveloped countries as less people would be able to shop for them. Resellers win money but they alocate unwanted stuff very quickly so that is good for the planet and many times for the thrifstore.

Savers/Value village is crazy expensive here in Canada. You should read up on the original family and owners. They arent necessarily charitable all the time. They held back donations at one point to epilepsy 350, 000 dollars. Its was taken to court and settled through that.
I dont support value village, savers or salvation army( used to work there). I found a few other places that are run by small local organizations with items from 1 to 8.00.

Saviors here in the states have been crazy expensive for a very long time. I haven't shopped there in years.

omg the lost highway cd what a good find! it has my favorite bowie song ever❤ my thrift stores have gone up recently by just like a dollar and it annoys me so much. thankful for local thrift stores with better prices. the red plaid skirt with the red top was so twin peaks!!! anyway, loved the video!

[laniiblue]

I’m so early!! 🖤♥️ lol I was literally going through your channel and rewatching some of your older vids!! Perfect timing ✨

I had that Metallica S&M CD in high school and it's fantastic!!! It's a symphony playing with Metallica. I agree the capitalist greed trickling down to thrift stores is tragic.

Value Village here in Canada is getting out of hand. I'll still go to a few and browse as you never know when you'll find something amazing but their prices really turn a desirable piece into a "I don't really need this" piece. I've frequented Goodwill a lot more lately as their prices are still on the fair side and the weekly tag sales can result in some great scores. It's very sad that fast fashion is just as cheap as thrifting now (in some cases even cheaper and with proper care fast fashion can last a while before repairs are needed.)

fellow melbournian here: yo savers has always been extortion. i went there once from ur recc and then was like wow they really skyrokcet the $ here. local salvos stores or literally any second hand / op shop will price clothes so much better. literally days ago got a purple kathmandu fleece for $6 in knox westfield

[jodiej]

Agree savers prices are insane I live in the US and OMG I can’t shop at savers anymore I’ve been going to other thrift stores as of lately.

[vnusnfurs]

It’s bad here in California as well. I only go thrifting every once in a while and it’s a good day when I find three items lol
