Buying used shirts, jeans, hats that people have previously worn on their bodies. Don't know if the person sweated in it or puked on it or who knows what. Are clothes really that expensive that you need to buy second hand from someone else?
Please don't make the argument that people who donate them to charities because thats a whole different ball of wax. I never understood why people don't just go down to Seattle outlets and buy cheap brand name clothing instead.
If anyone who buys used clothes would like to try and convince me otherwise I'm listening. Some of the people trying to sell jeans and shirt with holes, rips, stains. I just found that a bit odd and amusing.

you know that a lot of the clothing you buy 'new' in stores has been tried on several times, or even taken home, worn out, and returned?
i like my clothes new too, but i can see why people buy used thats in good shape and hardly worn. it sounds like you're someone who is happy buying cheap brand name stuff from outlets, so you wouldnt understand why someone would buy say, something hard to find or rare/discontinued thats been worn once or twice.
continue shopping at the outlets among the sea of vancouver residents who flock there only to come back and find that everyone has the same shirt as you that they got for $9 at the gap outlet.
