A Reddit thread on r/ThriftGrift shares a humorous discovery of a thrift store selling a used Nasty Gal two-piece for $40. Nasty Gal, a fast-fashion brand, was known for upselling thrifted items before going bankrupt in 2017. The incident highlights the issues with greedy thrift store practices and the growing popularity of second-hand shopping. Thrifting can be beneficial for both consumers and the environment, as it reduces waste and saves the planet from landfills. However, overpriced items negate the benefits, making it essential to choose affordable and sustainable options.
A thrift shopper was taken aback by the unexpectedly high price tag on a fashion item, finding it an ironic full circle.
