This truly is the darkest timeline. Definitely the stupidest ๐Ÿคฆ

Buffalo Exchange and similar stores like that are between thrift stores and consignment stores, they purchase their products either from customers for store credit or cherry pick at real thrift stores then mark it up to sell at the trendy store. Everything there has to meet a specific aesthetic.

They don't go to goodwill lol. They go to the trendy vintage thrift stores downtown that sell a t shirt for $60
