ThredUp
ThredUp is the United States’ centralized virtual thrift store. As stated in its 2023 earnings report, by 2022 ThredUp had processed 172 MILLION garments, which is a tremendous volume. Check ThredUp first when you’re searching for a specific brand, and there’s a good chance you’ll find the perfect pre-loved clothing.
Goodwill Finds
Goodwill manages an amazing volume of clothing every year, and most residents in the United States are within 10 miles of a Goodwill store. In 2023 Goodwill received more than 4.3 billion pounds of donated goods, the majority of which was clothing. Many affluent people drop off their used and unused clothing at Goodwill for convenience, so there’s often fantastic finds to be discovered.
