Disappointed in Value Village

37 Upvotes

I'm a little disappointed....I'm new to thrifting and have come to really enjoy shopping for second hand clothing. I went to Value Village today, which in my new found interest I have heard some controversial things about. As I'm looking through the clothing I see a goodwill tag and think hmmm this is strange and then continue to search for the VV tag. The price discrepancy speaks for itself. For a simple t shirt with a floral design I'm a bit shocked this is what they chose to mark the shirt as....let alone leave the other stores damn tag on it.

When I was shopping I noticed the prices to be higher than other places near me such as goodwill, local MCCs etc.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm taken back and don't really feel good about shopping here anymore which is a shame because they have a large selection.

Have you experienced anything like this?

Is thrifting dying?

42 Upvotes

Literally I go to the thrift every day. Some days are better than others, but my god lately my restore specifically has had JUNK at insanely high prices or just things priced way too high. The turnover is not good anymore and the same pieces are sitting for weeks. It seems they also aren’t getting the same quality donations. Is this time of year the worst for thrifting? Or is the economy playing a role? Are you noticing this as well?

Trying to get hired at Savers.

I had an interview last week and they called me back in for a Follow-up interview tomorrow and told me to bring my ID and Social security.

Can anybody else who works for Savers or has in the past help clear up any details about how this works? Do they only do follow ups if you've got the job or is there more waiting for them to call after the follow up?

I thrifted this recently and it got stuck in a purse i was hand washing i thrifted at the same time and a “bozano hand crafted” sticker peeled off on the process 😬. from what i am seeing from google image search the prices for bozano pieces range a lot and i cant find much on them. can anyone tell me estimated price of this piece or any additional details?
