I shop from op-shops - I'm not poor. But for someone to go around and fish out all the 'cool' clothes, pay cheap prices $6 or so dollars (prices for the poor), and then go and sell that $6 piece of clothing for $30, is meaningless. It's purely capitalistic. Op-shops (you guys call them Thrist stores or shit) are there to help people out who may not have the luxury to spend $30 on a single item of clothing. It's really just taking from the poor.

I more blame the people who pay those prices rather than go to the op-shops themselves.
It's like buying dearer apples from the stall across the road just because it has a bigger, shinier sign than the stall you're standing next to.

Everything is a choice. It's a choice whether to buy from KFC and the likes aswell. Just as it is your choice to buy from the op-shop itself, or buy from someone who already has bought from the op-shop and is trying to rip you off.
I have nothing against free markets. I do, though, have a problem with people trying to make more than they deserve.

its not a ripoff-- you are free to buy or not to buy. a ripoff is when people offer you something and give you something else. say i spot a good item in some shithole town, and put in on ebay for the world to see. there's a value in that and the people who enables the item should be rewarded. you need to learn about economics. i see your point in "taking away from the poor" but it doesnt work that way-- in fact the poor could have an opportunity to make income that way if they so chose. |

And you think alot of them are going to choose to?
Why do you think they're poor? A string of bad luck? It is a rip-off if you're selling used items for brand new prices, whether I myself choose to purchase them or not. And then you get the 'trendy' kids spending all their parents cash, or perhaps they have a monotonous day job themselves, and spend silly prices on used clothing because they are ignorant as to where they can get the same clothes at the appropriate prices. And then it goes in circles. The poor remain poor and the rich (or well off, not poor) get richer.

you dont seem to understand supply and demand and seem to assume that things have a "real" price determined by some absolute entity. there is no such thing. a price is an agreement. |

Me not understanding anything is just what you want to believe.
My posts still stand. I see what you're saying, but that is why I have made the posts I have.

price of an old ratty shirt: $2
price of a "vintange" shirt: $20 it all depends of where you put it & how people see it and how bad they want it. it's not a "ripoff". it's called COMMERCE. it takes knowledge, intelligence, and skill to turn a profit. |

I understand all that. I just don't agree with it.
I don't have anything against making a profit, it's just how much of a profit one is trying to make which I have a thing with. Just because I have a thing with COMMERCE, doesn't mean I don't understand it. Merely means I disagree with it.

I disagree within which people operate within the word 'commerce'.
I disagree with what commerce makes certain people do. The way it makes us live.

i think we'd be a lot worse off without commerce. you'd have to plant your own cabbages and no way you can build your own bycicle after mining for iron on your backyard.
