I live in Japan, thrift stores here sell rare stuff you literally can’t find new in stores, and have scouts who scour the planet for rare finds and ship them back to sell from stores. Sometimes clothes are altered to combine or remix classic styles, too. Prices can match or exceed new goods. And people happily pay for it, there are probably as many used clothes stores as there are for new ones. I’d imagine businesses like this can sell a large catalog on sites like Depop.

I think you’re thinking of used clothes like other used goods - a budget, subpar alternative - but think of it more like, achieving a look from a different era, or collecting something unique, and then it makes more sense.

Yeah they are more like classic cars or relics/jewlry. I wonder if a time piece related site could do well, or if the buyer base is too small.
