Are Resellers Evil? ...Asking for a Friend...21 Oct 202500:29:37
Amanda here, back to talk for a minute about the title itself: Reseller. Is that what we are? Because if that's all we do, buy old clothing and resell it, there's a lot of people out there saying that we are like, SUPER-BAD for doing it. 
But aren't we doing so much more than that? and even if that is all we are doing, scooping up truckloads of "used clothing" and selling it at a higher price, I genuenly don't know who that is hurting or how it would make a reseller....EVIL??
Let's discuss.

What's Your Vintage Shop Mantra?28 Sep 202200:22:14
This week Amanda talks about how thinning out her inventory with a big sale allowed her to better define her vintage clothing shop aesthetic. She talks about her niche and the ideal buyer she envisions. There are a few of the key questions, her "mantra" that she asks herself when sourcing at thrift stores and estate sales. If it's "NO" to all the questions it goes back on the rack, even if it's considered valuable.

Welcome back to another episode of The Thrifters! It's a new year and while Amanda isn't really a "New Year's Resolution" person, she is embarking on a big transition in the way she's going about selling vintage clothing. And its starting now, in early January, JUST BY COINCIDENCE, OK?!

So Amanda is here commiserating with all of you about the struggles of pushing into a new business model, our ever-sinking Instagram engagement and more.

Is Your Description a Slur? 5 Vintage Clothing Words That Can Get You Cancelled11 Sep 202400:23:32

Today's episode is...a little bit tricky. So here is basically a disclaimer:
I'm going to be using some words in this episode that may not be, I don't want to say "politically correct" because that feels so like, 90s.
I'm going to be using some words that are frowned upon. And the only reason I'm using these words is to be sure that I'm clearly conveying this message to you today. These are not words that I use typically in my language and my day to day. And actually, I'm sharing this message with all of you so that you can also make some decisions about the language that you're using. 
There are some words that get thown out there to describe aspects of a garment that you may not even realize are rooted in racially problematic terms or are othewise making people uncomfortable, even angry. So let's talk about them.
