[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people buy designer pieces only to want to sell after a year. If something doesn't fit I get it, but bags and shoes seem like things you should buy to last a while. [/quote]

Some people do genuinely buy designer clothes that are trendy and sell them after a year or two when they are less trendy. This is common in certain circles/cultures and not in others. It's not helpful for you to reply to this comment saying your friends don't do this.

I think more of the stuff at these shops are things people buy and don't end up wearing and are not returnable for whatever reason. Like, you buy a new dress wear it once, decide it's unflattering and then it just hangs in your closet unloved.

[b]I would also bet that a fair amount of what ends up being sold secondhand is originally shoplifted, purchased with a stolen credit card, etc. I used to work retail and the organized shoplifting gangs were notorious and frightening. I personally think the rampant, unchecked shoplifting is what killed the high end retail in Friendship Heights, but that's a thread for a different forum[/b]. [/quote]

I worked a relatively high end clothing place at Tysons. This had us well into the red. Corporate kept the store open for brand presence, but we lost money. A lot of it. [/quote]
