More than year and a half later, myths about secondhand and anti-reseller rhetoric can still be found in every corner of the internet.  In this episode, we revisit the ethics of secondhand shopping, thrifting, and resellers, exploring the following questions:\n✭ Who is really getting rich from the sales of secondhand clothing?\n✭ Are resellers really \"taking all of the good stuff\" from thrift stores?\n✭ What is the real purpose of thrift stores?\n✭ How can we (as a community) make secondhand more accessible to more people?\n✭ Why is there so much bad stuff in thrift stores right now?\n✭ And so much more!\nWant to catch up on what we have already discussed in the past?
