[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess there is an argument to be made that if one can afford to buy a pair of jeans for $50, but chooses to buy jeans at a thrift store for $5, then that person is taking the jeans away from someone who has a much smaller clothing budget. [/quote] While this may not be the case in less populated areas, here in the DC metropolitan area, there are very few, if any, thrift stores that don't have far too much inventory. Most of them regularly run sales/discounts and try to clear off the racks to put out more inventory. They want to sell more. To anyone. As someone else mentioned, they are in business to raise money for charitable purposes, not as a property redistribution system to the less well off. That is an added bonus to what they do. [/quote]
