Have you ever bought clothes from a second-hand store?

Sure, I've found some pretty interesting stuff at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Underwear is the only exception. I prefer off-price retail stores like Ross and TJ Maxx, though.

They're big business in Ireland and a lot of stuff left in is brand new. Personally I buy books and the odd cd, or their charity birthday / Christmas cards/

What about ebay, a lot of that stuff is second hand?

Yes. I also give away really good clothes that have hardly been worn, and some impulse buys, that have never been worn. I have seen famous people in these shops too. UK has many charity shops and it is not frowned upon to be donating to charity in your own spare time, rather than flashing it for everyone to see and applaud. I have been using them for 30yrs and have got some great bargains and household goods. Sold some on Ebay years later and got big bucks in return. Why waste ?

A lot of new clothes are made rather poorly and of cheap materials. I often get clothes at thrift stores or consignment stores.

To be perfectly honest the new clothes nowadays are getting to scene, second hand shops tend to have the best jackets. I have purchased two good jackets from one of them before.

I do not like to have secondhand clothes. I don't know why but I have always felt like it wasn't clean. I know better, but still they never felt like they were mine.
This was different with hand-me-downs from my brother. I could deal with that. I don't know why it bothers me. I have never been bothered by purchasing antiques, dishes etc. though. Just clothes.

i have bought cloths at charity shops i bought a few pairs of jeans a few months ago cheap and at least you are giving to a cause.

I really love buying my clothes in second-hand stores and junk shops ! I've been wearing some of them for ages! As long as I find them beautiful, it's okay and I make good deals at the same time.

They usually have crappy cloth that is too small. So no I do not buy them.

Of course, it's cheap. I've found some nice clothes at Goodwill and shit.

I'm proud to say "yes I do shop in charity shops". I think they're amazing and you never know what you're going to find. There's absolutly no shame at all in helping charities xx

I have! In fact, when I was studying in Japan, I wanted to buy an Engrish T-shirt as a souvenir and spent forever hunting for one that I liked.

The one I got in the end came from a recycle shop and fits REALLY well, and has kept its shape too. The Engrish isn't that obvious unless you look closely, and it has a cute design that reminds me of the sort of thing that was popular in the late 90s/early 00s.

In my native England, I often use eBay and I like looking in charity shops. I've got some good books and music from various ones, and even found a pair of Miss Sixty jeans for £7!

For me it's all the same, has long has it look fine and clean, I'll wear it.

There should be a just"no" answer .

I see nothing wrong with it, but I just don't.
I shop at stores like T.J. Maxx and stuff. So its not super expensive / and very cute.

it's the only kind of clothes i buy

yeah......and i found 400 dollars in the pocket

I love them!Theyre trash my gold but I still shop at malls and ross and other stores.

I love second hand shops.

I was in thrift stores several times a week when I was in high school (in the mid 90's). Most of the ones I went to aren't there anymore. I bought all sorts of crap. I still have some of the shirts I got, and some 60's-70's kitchen stuff. Like the olive green and mustard yellow ceramic canisters. Love that crap!

I have a few times, when I saw something I really liked in the window display, a dress once and even a good as new pair of shoes another time. I've also got some 1960s print scarves. I really hate paying over the odds for things and often frequent discount shops. Who cares if it's last season's.

I rarely find clothes I like in second hand shops, mainly because I have a very unique style. I recently bought some candle holders from a second hand shop :D

I haven't yet because they were all manky, but if there was something nice I'd probably buy it ;)

I think there's nothing wrong with it

Yeah, op shops are the shit!

I have before, but only just small things like boring shirts, and not very often even then, but I don't want to buy something new and expensive if I can get it cheaper somewhere else (not to mention the other benefits, such as supporting a charity and helping the environment).

I bought something once, but it was for a costume party. I don't go there regularly. The clothes smell like shit and probably belonged to old people who died and had all of their belongings dumped in front of salvos.
