Always
The problem, Us company then raises their prices to match feign prices, customers ending up paying more for everything.
honestly the economy would be better by 2% give or take not by much since a recession will happen in about a few years. The world is constantly changing and evolving. Rather have an ACTUAL leader Trump. then crooked joe or crazy kamala.
Maga maggots will lose their jobs Inflation up along with all prices
TRUMP 2024 BABYYYY 🦅
🇺🇸🇺🇸
They should all feel happy because we will be in competent hands now, and they won't get drafted into WW3!
I’m sorry guys, but this is ridiculous. Yes - wash them. Duh
Goodwill is no longer affordable. And they don't wash clothes either.
Weather is new, or used , I take it straight to the laundry room. I used to shop second hand, eventually I realized it was a waste of time for me looking for my ex-small clothing…. on top off that price tag same as Marshals. Not worth it.
Also had bought some glass items at the thrift store and they wrapped it and put it in a box for me, when I was unwrapping all of it a cockroach went running out of the box.
A bunch of people got lice from my local thrift store.
My mum literally banned second hand clothes in our home. We weren’t allowed to buy them. I remember buying a shirt from a school fair when I was 8 or 9 years old. My mum told me to return it. Years later she told me what happened to her friend who caught scabies from buying a second hand coat. The scars were everywhere and difficult to erase. I’ve also heard of a case where a second mattress was purchased and threw off a couple who used it. It contained a spirit 😮 one of the things I find creepy and even mentioned it to friends I know who buy thrift store clothes or items is that the previous owners could have been into spiritistic practices, be careful
Everything I donate is properly washed first. What's the point of donating if you don't respect the recipient enough to give them clean items.
Dangers?! Lmao yeah no I sell thousands a month Poshmark. Often “second” hand They are all clean. Talk to hundreds of sellers. This issue is rare to non existent.
Some clothes and shoes sold as new are actually returns and have been worn, especially formal dresses and dress shoes. There are people who buy an outfit for an event, and then return it unwashed, and department stores and online stores do not clean the returns either.
Thank you Dale for responding and highlighting my situation. Since the time that I contacted you, I have since spoken again to someone in the corporate office who told me that they would send my concerns to their accounting department but after two weeks, I have not heard anything back from them. I contacted them within the past two days, only to be told the very exact thing that they would forward my request to the accounting department. I left the property in July and they sent out what may have been my refund to the old address even though I had given the property manager my forwarding address. This was in August and after several attempts to reach out to the property manager, no one has answered the phone or responded to my voicemail messages that I sent to them. I don’t understand what is going on and why nobody has contacted me. This is disappointing and completely unacceptable because I followed and fulfilled my lease agreement.
I didn't know there are secondhand swimwear and underwear...
seriously, what a waste of air time.
Stop...
Also make sure to sterilize oxygen with Lysol before breathing any of it. Haha but to be real, I used to frequent A skating rink and I picked up a nasty plantars wart from walking on the floor in my socks a few times, so stay careful out There
I dont do 2nd hand shopping, never know whom items belonged to...was the person murdered perhaps, or just any wicked background ect...people take their dead people's clothing and stuff to 2nd hand stores even 2nd hand blankets and bed covers, besides bedbugs, it might just be the cover under which someone died.. even furniture you never know what happened in that house??? 2nd hand stores not in my books at all..😮
There's something wrong with you wow some people are f..k
Just saying
I've been shopping thrift store all my life but FYI the clothes are NOT washed before they are put out on the racks! that's complete nonsense,!!!!! even when I volunteer there or work there the only clothes that go to the washing machine are the ones that have really bad stains on them that they think they can get the stains out of and then sell ,other than that clothes are NOT washed otherwise they would be there for days trying to put clothes out and nothing would get put out, think about it 🤔🤔🤔!!!!!!!!
I love thrifting! Even though ive found some scary stains, its obvious to wash your clothes and hands. Dont be scared to shop smart. You can wear gloves when you shop if youre really worried. 😅
The sun purifies with heat as well as ultraviolet radiation. Hang washed clothing in the sun when possible. Parasitic spores are probably microscopic and can get on all kinds of things including bed sheets.
You just want to scare people. please stop
What a stupid news segment. Tell me something more obvious
By the miniature I have one word for you: FUNGUS 🤮
Omfg!! You can get that from the store too🙄🙄🙄
OMG! Wash the stuff!!
1:20
That's why I'm super mad at shoe stores reselling old shoes to us when they're not supposed to I remember bringing attention to shoe store clerk and he tells me I'll give you a discount on the tennis shoes i said NO!!! I want some new shoes
I bought 3 products at place in Kitsap County, wa state a jacket, tennis shoes, & ironing board with cover all were in different part of store. BUT ALL STUNK WITH SAME HORRIBLE ODAR & SPRAYED DOWN WITH A TOXIC SPRAY I THREW THEM AWAY AS TOXIC SMELL WAS UNBAREABLE & I DID NOT NOTICE AT STORE ONLY AFTER I GOT HOME noticed AWFUL foul SMELL.. i did wash but it did nothing to help smelled like raid bug spray hideous. I BOUGHT THINGS IN PAST YEARS AGO FROM GOOD WILL NO PROBLEM BUT SINCE COVID & MILLIONS OF OPEN BORDER INVADERS & THEIR WOOPING COUGH & diseases I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING AGAIN FROM GOOD WILL or places like it. I wasted money on unusable toxic clothing sprayed down by crap store.
They are usually belongings of a decided person.
Bedbugs will be there 😮😮
😱😱😱😱😱
People just don’t have common sense.
Who doesn’t clean secondhand clothes after buying.
I also wash all new clothing that I buy, which is very seldom anyway!!
I’ve been thrift store shopping for years. I have never had any issues!! Everything I buy gets laundered and cleaned. I have bought clothing, books, furniture, underwear. I would never buy couches or over 😢stuffed chairs. Thrifting is so satisfying and I am amazed at the number of people who DO thrift shop!!!
In Michigan, they DON'T wash that stuff at Goodwill or Salvation Army. They don't have the machinery or manpower. Years ago, I thought they did.
I've bought in thrift stores and yard sales my entire 69 years, and have also been a vendor of pre-used items with many similar vendor friends. Never had a problem. Buy from a reputable dealer, if buying from a private party scrutinize the home it's coming from. Believe it or not, it's also possible to encounter the same problems when buying new. You never know who tried that hat on or who gave that bed a try before you. Please stop with the fear porn.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤
Weak people.... pathetic
We can't believe that people didn't know this LOL😅😅😅
None of the thrift store items are cleaned at all. I've worked in a thrift stores before and this never happens there's no cleaning at all. We thought everyone knew this. If they had to clean and wash everything it would be too expensive to sell used stuff. We always wash and dry in machines any clothes that we got from the thrift store No one had to tell us this.
notice that both of the reporters are wearing thrift clothing...BAAAD thrift clothing...
Never buy shoes used
First we had secondhand smoke...now secondhand shopping? Really?
I can tell you a true story of 2nd hand shoes my uncle brought for himself. He ended up with a golf ball size ulcer from a pair of shoes he brought from 2nd hand clothing shop. 5 years after he brought the shoes he died from sepsis caused by the ulcer. Never buy 2nd hand shoes. They have bacteria.
Lice be afraid very🦂
