Hmm, t-shirts cost nearly the same new or used in Los Angeles. ($7.99 at Kohl's or $6.39 with a coupon, $4.99 and $5.99 at the Goodwill nearby) 🤔

@ai6yr oh and I can confuse people greatly when wearing WV Univ shirt with my Buffalo Bills hat lol
The cost of labor, the store, stocking it etc. is the bulk of the price.
Goodwill throws away tons of donations as do may other clothing charities since sorting and cleaning is expensive.
@futurebird Aha, that makes a lot of sense. This was in a high rent neighborhood (very high rent neighborhood), so they are pricing it to cover rent and wages in that expensive area!!
LPs going for $4.99 and up at the Goodwill there, and CDs also. 🤔 It appears they scale up their prices in LA proper. (used t-shirts going for $2 in my part of Ventura County, CDs for 50 cents, LPs for $1.99). 🤔
@ai6yr Dynamic Zip Code Pricing (tm)
@cvvhrn It is dramatically different from store to store. But this makes sense:
@ai6yr So had a fiend who worked with Drs without borders. He described planes flying flow over the field and pushing out compressed bales of clothes (they do not want to land) then people would grab what they want.
At some level they simply sell it to relief agencies by he ton or palate I think
@ai6yr damn, goodwilll here is running at about $5 a shirt.
dvds are ~$4
I try to shop at the other, local, thrift shop that does discounts of 75%, 50% and 25% off based on whatever color tag an item has
@ai6yr I am of the age I don't much care what my t-shirt says and goodwill offers a far better variety of material so I can find nice soft ones lol
