There seems to be this trend where people will buy used clothing or footwear from others. Usually on online forums classifieds. This isn't to be confused with buying a used cars. Totally apples and oranges in fact. Am I the only one who finds this particularly strange?

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.

[filth]

Yes, because everything can be purchased at the Seattle Outlet... Smfh.

[tacobell]

excuse me princess, would you like some grey poupon?

[Mr.HappySilp]

I agree clothes is something that I will never purchase used. Just knowing the clothes I am about to wear is used just not right to me.

I rather buy brand new clothes that's cheaper than to spend the same amount on a used name brand clothes.

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. :rofl:

[Not really racist!]

Certain articles of clothing are limited edition and discontinued..

for example, limited edition jordans / lebrons / kobes / iversons etc.
or extremely rare articles of clothing you barely can find locally... anymore..

or maybe you can't buy that brand in vancouver..
for example, abercrombie and fitch..

just because people buy used clothing doesn't mean that they have a bad sense of hygiene
also remember... as long as people look good, it doesn't really matter to them

well it's not like you simply buy and wear the shirt right after, assuming you're not buying your clothes from junkies i'm sure Tide Detergent or something will do the job. unless he's scruffy and dirty as fuck, then i would simply reconsider the whole deal.

hypothetically speaking if i'm 5' 7" and some guy is selling 32 x 34, obviously 34 is too long in terms of length. but the jeans are in prestige condition other than wear and tear on the bottom cuff, well i can just bring that to stitch international or something get it hemmed with almost identical color and material.

voila i just saved myself a good chuck of gas money for 2 - 3 weeks. presuming they sell the used jeans for cheaper than msrp.

[Conan O'Brien Sex Video]

- financial reasons
----- they don't have money and want to wear whatever's in style
----- they have money but are too cheap to buy new, and want to wear whatever's in style
----- save money... for instance last year's jacket is similar to this years but some dude is selling it for $200 less than retail
- clothing is a few seasons old and can't be found in the store anymore
- halloween costume/one time use/stage performance
- unique style not available locally

OP do you eat out ?

That cup of water waiter just served you contains more bacterials than a used cloth and you are drinking the water into your body.

i've never purcahsed any used cloth before but i wouldnt mind it.

[v.Rossi]

this is one of those double standard topics that comes up every month, in the end it comes down to your personal priorities.

different people, different reasons, different priorities.

this isn't about hygenic reasons at all, wash the product inside out a thousand fucking times with a laundry bag, cold water with like colors. product will not fade, and will be cleaner than a babies ass smelling like fresh laundry.

hundreds of people, junkies natives chinese black white green aliens they all try clothes on at retail stores and don't end up buying. one person will end up buying that product. solution: wash it before you wear it, i mean for christ sakes your fingernails are dirtier than a toilet bowl. food for thought.

not really.

if it was the exact same reason people buy fake lv purses, why wouldnt they buy real used lv purses instead? because fake lv purses are 1/10th of the price, and real, used goods are usually not nearly as discounted.

whats really low is people who buy used, fake goods.

[freakshow]

They buy it cause it's cheaper.

Exactly!
People saying just wash the clothes are not making a strong argument.
Even semen stains can't be washed off.
I think if people want brand names but can't afford to buy them at retail prices then they should look to buy cheaper brands.

[hi-revs]

I dont LOVE buying used clothes, but i have bought a few used items that are in pristine condition.
Like others have said, when u go to buy a shirt from a store, there are countless amounts of people who've tried it on before you buying it! (dirty people, sweatty people, people with skin problems, people blowing their nose into a sleeve-and dries up etc....)
Plus, clothing is clothing, its not like you'll wear it forever.

Some people, like me, tend to buy items on impulse only knowing that after wearing it 3-5 times that i'll never wear it again.

This is why mankind invented things like soap and washing machines capable of washing with hot water ;)

Semen stains? Sorry... I thought used clothing was hoodies, jeans, shoes.

Buying used Joe Boxers, that is not buying used clothing. That's just straight up fucking raunchy.

[SkinnyPupp]

The funny thing about outlets is that most of the time the clothes is different from what they sell in the actual stores. Compare the clothes in the Banana Republic, CK, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, etc stores in the outlet, it's never the same clothes. Some things are, but most aren't.

The first time I went to the "premium" outlet, I couldn't believe how shitty the clothes were. I did buy a bunch of CK underwear though, because that's the same and it's much cheaper there :)

[unit]

^thats the only thing those outlets are good for.

all the clothes at the outlets are the shitty leftovers they couldnt sell at the regular retail stores.

however, the oregon premium outlets were actually pretty decent. copped some air penny 2's for just 79 bucks. when they re-launched those here in vancouver, they were sold out instantly. in oregon, there were like 100 pairs lol. and no tax to boot! picked up air max 95s for like 50 bucks as well.

[XtC_13aBy]

Used clothes' prices are usually drastically reduced, some were only worn once or a few times and in almost brand new condition. Another reason to buy used clothing is if the style was a limited edition. I have enough money to buy brand name clothing at their original prices but every so often I buy clothes from craigslist/list4all/buy&sell. It's a smarter way of shopping rather than spending extra money that could have been used for something else more useful.

[wasabisashimi]

Well, obviously no one will buy really old beat up stinky shirts or undergarment. Worn once or twice, like new, open box clothing items are ok depending on the person.

Its like buying a used car. What if the previous owner plays alot of sports or have dogs or kids, don't you think there are alot of pee stains or sweat spots on the seats? Oh , don't get me started on sex in the vehicle.

Not everyone has money to pay for full price or finding a limited edition items in their size.

don't go a sit on public washroom, cuz someone else's sweaty ass cheek has been on it before you.

Yes, Outlet is cheap, but after awhile, I only think shoes (nike,.addidas..etc) are worth buying. Everything else looks so out of style or normal at best

i figure it's comparable, outside of rare limited productions buying used clothing is basically wanting the look for a discounted price ie. fake designer

although in the end if you want to buy higher end used clothing and no one you see knows you bought it second hand, whats the difference i suppose

[fatal]

Buying used clothing also contributes to the seller, maybe the seller bought the item, left it in the closet for along time never wore it and wants to get rid of it.

No its the buyers that are cheap fucks. If u cant afford to buy your TRs or RRs new dont buy it

I'd like to argue Boysco is pretty upscale considering they sell a lot of the premium brands of clothing. I don't shop there much because their selection isn't that great. I have a couple suits that I only wear on special occasions like weddings, interviews that cost $1500 when I bought brand new.
Even my sunglasses collection is valued at around a couple thousands dollars. I have 12 pairs of sunglasses that I switch around
So don't say I don't know anything about fashion.

[filth]

lol.

[Culverin]

I may be the oldest in my immediate family, but that never stopped me from getting hand-me-downs from cousins and stuff.

So I'm used to wearing used clothing.
I rarely buy used clothes, cause I just don't like the quality or look of most of the stuff, and being small, it's ridiculously hard to find my size.
So for the most part, it's just not worth my time to buy used.


I wouldn't be opposed to picking up a few very expensive, lightly used items, like goretex or an arcteryx softshell. Being high-end, that stuff rarely goes on sale.


I also take super good care of my stuff, so I have sold it off to friends.
I do this with clothes, electronics and whatever.
They know I'm super picky, and they are getting only the best.

Seems to work for us.

[rice cooker]

Like it or not boysco is considered higher end. It may not be nosebleed. But higher than what the average person would buy

As a Sales associate, there are countless amount of junkies, addicts, and bums that come in to try on clothes they end up not buying. Thank god for sanitizer, but to be honest sometimes the clothes in stores aren't much cleaner then used. And as for people that say those that buy used clothes are just tools that want to fit in. Well.. how about limited edition items or clothes that are next to impossible to find. for example- michael jacksons glove. yes its been over his crotch but that still sold for millions of dollars because it is a collectors item. Or some people just really like the clothing. dont be so quick to judge.

By the sounds of your highly flawed argument, purchasing items at Boysco and having 12 pairs of sunglasses translates into the possession of a good fashion sense? My God, did your parents drop you on the head when you were little? Or wait... Did they happen to be related before they were married? First of all, you're a dumbass if you ever bought a suit at Boysco for $1500. Lemme guess... The material was 80% foil, 15% silk, 5% uberhomo made exclusively by the designer on the cutting edge of fagshion, Monsieur Christian Audigier. I don't know which electrical signals clicked, or didn't click, in your dim-witted brain, which prompted you to pick Boysco over Holts or Rosen (just to list a couple) in terms of suit buying.

12 pairs of sunglasses? Oh wow baller baller, did you get a free bottle of fag juice for every pair you purchased? do you alternate sunglasses throughout the 2 months of sun in Vancouver along with your audigier hoodies, key closet tees, laguna beach jeans, and white pumas?

From this tragic and ludicrous attempt at trying to convince your fellow revsceners of your self proclaimed fantastic sense of fashion, you have rather proved to us all that you have no fashion sense whatsoever, solely from the fact you have sunk low enough to believe BoysCo carries "premium" clothing. Unless "premium" can be used synonymously with "nammer", your logic is retarded beyond a reasonable doubt.

I'm not going to say money can't help people's fashion sense. There are certain pieces that non-designer brands don't sell, since they lack the brand prestige and market to earn a profit from these items (for example, Old Navy won't ever sell selvedged denim). But I can promise you that for your particular case, I can get laid faster (without taking into account of my 12" lochness monster vs. your milimeter peter) wearing $150 worth of clothing from Gap, than you can with $5000 worth of clothing from Boysco.

Like respect, a good sense of fashion cannot be purchased. Clothing is bought, fashion is learned. Hit me with your best response MQR03, I am more than ready for a rebuttal.
