That's a cool story f. Nice for that person to show you the ropes like that - I wish I had known about bargain shopping earlier in life. Woulda saved me a lot of money.
The business aspect you mentioned is interesting too. I wonder how Ebay is affecting Goodwill sales.
Do you think buying used clothes is ok if they are washed? I wonder if there are really any health concerns for buying a used shirt or even pants, even after washing. I guess most of it might be stigma, just knowing (or NOT knowing lol) where those clothes had been. Maybe the stigma is unfounded and just a resiult of modern day sterile environments and expectations. Humans made it millions of years without showers and lysol and washing machines...
