Day Nineteen: Something You Regret

Today's "30 Days of Me" entry couldn't have come at a better time.  Like most people I've purchased some clothes that I regret for size or style reasons, but no worries there is a solution!  It's called buffalo exchange (check it out, there are locations all over the US)!  I went there for the first time this morning and walked out with $25 cash for some of my old clothes that I don't wear anymore. 
Here's how it works...
You bring your unwanted clothing and accessories into the store (no appointment needed) and they will pick the items they want to buy from you.  They are kinda picky about what they take, they only like to take in season items, things that are in style, and they will not take anything that is too warn in.  After they are done you can either have 50% of the amount back in store credit (and since they are selective, they do have some cool stuff) or you can get 30% back in cash (when I say "back" I mean the amount they will be selling the items for). 
I was a little disappointed with some of the items that they didn't take from me, but overall it was a great experience, and I will be visiting again for another future trades.  I have been meaning to go to a consignment store, but it always seemed like a lot of hassle to set up an appointment, get an account at the store, and then WAIT till someone buys your things to get your money.  Another great thing is that the Buffalo Exchange has a donation bin right there at the store so anything they don't take, you can donate right there (my location also happens to be close to a goodwill).
