charity op shops are fundamentally about fundraising for charity so yes that gucci dress is $200 we also have donated dresses for $5 like

the sheer entitlement of so many thrifters, I swear.

*goes to the higher brand clothing donated new, generally sold for 1/3, sometimes 1/10, of the retail price*: why is everything so expensive! these charities are greedy.

*the other half of the shop full of $5-$10 good quality donated goods that doesn't exist apparently*

#look I'm not saying there are not issues of gentrification at play #but we sell designer brands for #$$$ because they retail for $$$$$$$$$ and we're trying to raise money here #also caveat no charity is perfect yes you know it no it's not salvos #everyone has been conditioned by fast fashion to see ridiculously cheap clothes as normal #also! if you are in genuine need of help we will help you #idk man I just want to help slow fashion and fundraise for disaster relief I don't want to be yelled at by entitled visitors or have my shop #dragged on tiktok and google reviews #sometimes things are not overpriced they're out of your budget and for a different clientele and that's okay #you'll live #rambles #... I accidentally stumbled onto the google reviews of the place I vokunteered at then read a bunch of angry tiktok comments lamenting my #store's greediness and depravity and it's like #you are expecting to find gucci for $5 and that doesn't happen anymore please get over it
