basically a modern day hippie, they’re just sooo cool and against “the man” so they wanted their own name, hence — hipster

Someone who will pay 30$ for a tshirt made before they were born that only cost 5$ back then.
Someone who will wear clothes that cost 100$ so they look like they spent 5$ on them.
Someone who will bitch about corporate ownership while they sip their starbucks and tweet about it on their iPhone.
Anyone riding a fixed gear bike that cost more than 300$.

There is a whole lotta snark around the word.

I wonder if this will become a reflection of neighborhood residents (traded locally) or if people from around the city will come and do the trading. I am asking because I suppose whoever does the trading will define the style, no?

Buffalo Exchange curates what it buys, which means the quality and style of the merchandise tends to be better than the Salvation Army, which takes everything that’s clean and not torn.

I tihnk the other difference with the Salvation Army is that Buffalo buys used clothing that fits their store’s style.

I’ve gotten new clothing and shoes (with the tags still on) from the Salvation Army.
