You have no idea what someone is holding in their closet. And there's something really cool about that. A complete stranger walks through the door and suddenly you're bonding over a shared love of the same brand, the same era, the same bag. That connection never gets old for me.

We get buying inquiries every single day. And honestly, we don't advertise it much. Not because we don't want your items, but because we're not trying to open the floodgates faster than we can handle them. But I wanted to share something that happened recently that perfectly captures why this part of the business excites me so much.

A long-time customer and at this point a great friend, invited Alex and I out to her house in New Jersey to take a look at her collection. We figured we'd be there two hours, back at the store by midday. Eight hours later we were packing five rooms into boxes and stuffing as much as we could into an Uber XXL. (Who knew those existed?)

I'm not even sure I can describe what it looked like walking in. She sorted and merchandised everything across five different rooms, bought actual displays, and organized it all for us. It felt like being a kid on Christmas morning opening the door and seeing your presents for the first time. Alex and I just looked at each other wide-eyed like some kids in a candy store. It was one of those days that reminded me why I love this job. Not just on the business side but spending a full day with someone so genuinely down to Earth who shares the same passion for this stuff. That part doesn't happen enough.

It also taught us a couple of things. First, it is extremely easy to spend money lol. But more importantly the single most important thing we can do right now as a business is reinvest into quality, high end, lightly used inventory. That price point has always been a challenge for us because the demand is so high and it's something we're constantly working on. To help with that and to better handle the volume of buying inquiries we get daily, we've added a buying intake form to the site. (Great idea Tyler!) It gives us the basic info upfront and keeps everything organized on the backend.

We want to keep growing, keep our prices at the lowest possible market rate, and make the selling process for customers as seamless as possible. Thank you for sticking with us and watching us work it out in real time.

Best, Josh Kilgore
