    Episode 10: The Real History of Thrift Stores. Was Thrifting Really Intended For Resellers and Upwardly Mobile People to Get their Goods?
    2023/06/28
    Join Rebekka for an episode filled with historical tidbits, news reviews, and a deep dive into the topic of: Who is thrifting really for? We are ignoring something very important: since the pandemic and the late 2010's, thrifting has taken a completely different direction than ever before: towards reselling. Since so many people are reselling now, they want to dominate the perception that it's justified. But what are the consequences?

    Episode 9: Navigating Negative Experiences with Resellers: Reviews, Complaints and Conduct
    2023/06/21

    A look inside of some first hand experiences I have had with resellers who didn't want to take responsibility for poor customer service: what can we do about it? Also, I discuss some of the real reviews that she has seen on Etsy that offers a glimpse into what is happening between resellers and their customers. Is fear ever a good enough reason to keep quiet? I don't think so, and I'll tell you what you can do about it.
