This Place is Awful DO NOT SELL HERE !!!

by marlow1228

This place is horrible. I went here to try to sell a pair of new $100 jeans and they said that they wern't good enough for the store. The employees judge weather your clothes are good enough by what your wearing. That b#t@h looked at one shirt and was already unimpressed. she didn't even bother to look at anything else. she simply said that we can dontae this to charity if you like ??? what the ??? thoes clothes go right back on the storerack marked up to $15. They are jus rude people who think they are so cool just because they are weaing tights with holes. They walk around with thoes ugly peircings and tattos like theyr'e runway models and they so arn't NEVER SHOP HERE !!!

• Pros: okay clothes at okay prices
• Cons: rude, snotty, stuck up employees

Don't bring your nice clothes. They don't do classy here.

Ugh, I just got back from the hipster hell that is Buffalo Exchange, and just a warning: a fair amount of bitterness follows. I brought some classy designer items in perfect condition to sell, and they didn't want any of them. I'm talking Betsey Johnson, BCBG, Neiman Marcus, etc. At first I was a bit bruised (because the snotty employees always make you feel like they are rejecting you and your style personally, and every snob working there thinks they're unique and cool with their ripped black tights, facial piercings and filthy hair--ask anyone who really knows how to rock the vintage look, and they would tell you that Austin hipsters are formulaic and tired. Here's a truly unique idea: DON'T get a tattoo or a facial piercing! But I digress....) Anyway, on my way out I looked around at the racks, and I suddenly had an epiphany: every piece of clothing in there is faded, wrinkled, ripped up trash. Like it came out of the bottom of the Goodwill reject pile. I don't mean that the clothes are in bad shape, I mean that the only clothes they think are cool enough to buy and sell are the ones that look like trash on purpose. I believe "distressed" is the adjective du jour. Anyway, if BE is on the cutting edge of trends, and the trend is trash, then I am happy to take my non-trendy clothes right back to my closet.

• Cons: snobby hipster employees, gross clothes, no parking

Coolest castoffs around: Yeah right!!!

If you want to be treated like dirt by a buyer that dresses like she is a 1980's mental patient then this place is the place for you. Not only do they look down on you by the way you dress before they have even seen your stuff but they give you practically nothing for it , then turn around and sell it for 5 times as much.

Message to the sellers: wake up B#$c*@s! you work in a Thrift store, not for a designer in Paris or Milan!!!

If I could give this store a negative rating I would.

• Pros: Sometimes find a designer piece at an OK price.
• Cons: Everything: Rip off, rude staff, dirty store and change rooms, lots of junk.
