higher prices have more snob appeal.
some people automatically assume that if it's more expensive, it must be of superior quality.
the Goodwill and Salvation Army sell used jeans for $5 a pair.
a Vintage Clothing Boutique will sell those same jeans for at least $50. $150 if they're dirty and have holes in them.
i will never understand why anybody would be willing to pay $50 for a used blouse from a VCB, but wouldn't be caught dead in a charity thrift shop.
human beings. what'cha gonna do with them? :lol:
