My teen decided to clean out her closet and drawers to make room for her new school clothes. In a big pile was her first Abercrombie shirt that we bought together, because we liked the look and it smelled so good. Under that was her pink Marilyn Monroe shirt that we bought in honor of her singing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" in the school musical. Her purple "Tickle me Elmo" shirt was discarded too.
Instead of taking these clothes to the Assistance League, I had an idea to go to The Buffalo Exchange in Sherman Oaks to see if she could sell any of her "treasures." After waiting thirty minutes, we hauled her white bag up to the counter and smiled nicely to the buyer. The girls next to us only sold one item, hopeful my daughter would have better luck. At the end, the buyer bought $51.60 worth of clothes and gave my teen a $25.80 credit to purchase merchandise in the store.
A blue t-shirt with a lady running on the front caught her eye. She liked the saying "Chinese food gives me the runs." For $5 she couldn't resist. Then a pair of skinny jeans fit her perfectly. With her credit she only had to pay an additional $4 for her items. Her first sale was a success. She walked away with a big smile on her face and two new treasures for her closet.
