[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been buying second hand clothes, housewares, and furniture since I was in high school. I’m 48. I’ve accidentally purchased damaged items a few times when I didn’t inspect closely enough, and I’ve certainly purchased items I don’t end up wearing, especially post-covid since fitting rooms at thrift stores are rare now. We recently overpaid for an item on FB marketplace, but that was totally on us for getting it anyway when we saw the quality was not as expected. But those are the only issues I’ve had - no bugs or mites. My kids bring lice home from school every year but I’m not at all worried about getting them from the thrift store. I’m more concerned about bed bugs from a hotel.

That said, we don’t buy second hand upholstered furniture or mattresses. Just wood. Honestly the quality is so much better with some of the older stuff than what you can buy new. Same with some of the clothes. They don’t make ‘em like they used to!

I do wash everything when I get it home, but I wash mew clothes before wearing as well.
