Went here on a Saturday afternoon didn't find one thing that looked good in this store. Some of the clothing had major signs of wear, tearing and they had the gall to try to sell it to you for anywhere from $15-$25. A lot of the shoes there looked super worn too. Also there was a funky smell in there that led me to write this post. Won't be looking for anything there again, the one in Astoria is way better. Also, Buffalo Exchange should acknowledge that people who live in poverty shop here too. They should not be compromising quality and real estate in their store of what they're selling to satisfy some "north brooklyn" (this term is extremely laughable - it's called WILLIAMSBURG, people! no such thing as "north brooklyn") customers that moved here 3 months ago with a trust fund. read more

the creme de la creme of thrift stores. high quality selection and the coolest staff around. the manager allie was so helpful and helped me pick the best 'fits for the occasion I was shopping for. it's a big store packed with well curated goodies. every time I go I find so much great stuff at really reasonable prices. much more fun/interesting/edgy stock compared to other buffalo exchanges. me and all my gurls love Buff Exchange Williamsburg!!! highly recc read more

The staff is always super helpful and kind, and currently are in great costumes. And as further proof it's a great store, while I was there today "Bohemian Rhapsody" came on, and many customers plus most of the staff sang along, as should be required by law. read more

This review is going to be based on my experience as a seller... If you plan on selling your clothes at this location you want to hear this. I brought 3 bags worth of clothing to sell. I walked in and there were 2 people in front of me. Both people ended up receiving all their clothes back (NOTHING was bought from them). Then, it was my turn. The person going through my items was "Ginno" - the store manager. He is absolutely the worst. In fact, my advice to all those planning to sell: if you walk in & he's behind the counter, just leave. There is no point in trying. He barely LOOKS at whatever he is going through. He literally picked up my items, unfolded them, and then just placed them on the counter to give them back to me. Side note: I own high quality, brand name clothing -- I wasn't walking in here with my H&M, Forever21, etc. and walking out shocked that nothing was purchased. He's rude, he's incompetent, and he will waste your time. Don't even bother. read more

Youre better off selling online [ebay, etsy, FB marketplace, etc], They suck at training their staff so you can make absolutely no money. They also sell brand new items for the same retail price *or even more* Like might as well go to the actual store and buy it fresh. shopping wise they stress they only take in trending/ brand new items. But when i went in there everything was absolutely trashed, Ugly af, or just not worth the price. I remember buffalo exchange used to be a fun and cool place to trade/ donate clothes. A thrift store for the community. But now its not that at all they only care about making money which is crazy because they are selling stuff id pay $2 at any other thrift store. They barley had name brand clothing and if they did it was behind the register and overpriced. They also dont give you a fare exchange between what you bring in and the money they give you. Its a complete scam and i dont recommend supporting these shops anymore because its no longer for the community. i can go on about how shitty this corporation is. But if youre from ny then you can take the hint as to why the ASTORIA location is non existent. read more

I came with a bag full of excellent clothing to sell. I brought several great pairs of jeans and a cashmere Uniqlo sweater that I was willing to part with for very little. They took nothing. I was not cool, hip, or young enough. Then I felt that familiar bitterness. That sting of anti-nonhipsterist discrimination. I am surprised that this lady behind the counter would let an anti-nonhipster agenda get in the way of doing solid business. To her, I will say this: your beauty, your youth, and your savvy will too once fade. And you will be left with nothing but a bag of yesterday's clothing. I sincerely wish that the someone behind the counter will look past the nonsense, and buy your clothing. read more

They are not snotty but they bought only one thing from me and it was the ugliest pair of shoes I brought. I feel like it's hard to sell clothes in general Unless you're wealthy and buy clothes in season wear them once if at all. Not recommended read more

I have an idea. If you're going to force people to wait in line for 35 minutes to sell back their clothes, how about placing an employee in the line to sift through everyone's belongings and weeding out those whose clothing you deem "unacceptable" for Buffalo Exchange's "high quality standards". THAT WAY we don't have to waste half an hour in your store that smells like a combination of a Subway sandwich and unwashed hipsters. Furthermore, when I wade through the unwanted garbage that you call merchandise and find faded denim button-ups and rhinestone-covered skirts that my own mother would turn down (and, trust me, she has bad taste) I find it a little hard to believe that my brown leather jacket and denim jacket..both in excellent shape...are turned down by your prissy "buyer" (honey, you work at Buffalo Exchange, not Marc Jacobs...tone down the uppity). Get over yourselves, Buffalo Exchange. I realize you're located in the heart of Hipsterville in Unemployment Proper, but not everyone wants to purchase faded jeggings and well-worn ballerina flats...mix it up a little. You're a fail...at life. read more

Let me start by saying I usually LOVE Buffalo Exchange, and the other locations are great as far as I can tell. HOWEVER, the reason I am giving a TERRRRIBLLLEEE review for this location is because they went against the very core of why people go there. I Went there with my boyfriend recently and we found some of his clothes being sold, except they were from the pile of clothes that the buyers had rejected!!! He sold some to them and he gave the rest to go towards 'DONATION' but instead of donating those, they put them out for sale anyway!!!! That is just morally wrong!! NEVER BRING YOUR CLOTHES HERE!! And if you do, then NEVER LEAVE CLOTHES FOR THEM TO 'DONATE'!! Because they will probably just sell them anyway!! read more

This place is one of the reason people hate Williamsburg. I went here to sell some things, came with 3 bags of clothing, left with 3 bags. What did they buy you ask, one pair of roller skates (70's style) one look a like fendi bag. I know what you thinking, maybe you stuff was ugly, i had a ton of plain sweaters, plain white tees an hats, and a redic amount of jewelry and wallets and purses. The uber hipster behind the counter waved my things away. So when the choice came down to 19 bucks store credit or 11 bucks cash, i walked about the store....sweaty pit stains on white shirts, boots scuffed beyond belief and some of the ugliest jewelry and peeling wallets i have ever seen. I am fully aware that that things are used and won't be perfect, but there should be standards and maybe a little diversity. If you dress like a dirty hipster, u'll love it. But if you dress like an adult with a job who pays their own rent, don't even both lol :Sigh: i hate this place. read more

Hmm. What to say. I used to like Buffalo Exchange before I tried selling them clothes. Well, that's not entirely true. I've gone there before thinking I'd find something cool and fun and left feeling that not only did all the clothing smell of cigarettes, but that it displayed an absolute lack of taste in the men's department. And now I know why. Sam, the buyer, who rifled through my things didn't seem to really know what good guys clothing was. Perfectly maintained dress shirts were passed up because she didn't like the shade of blue. A hoodie from Spain didn't make the cut because of the way they had vented the end. A cashmere-wool blended topcoat was passed up because no one would need it now; does anyone seriously NEED anything they buy in a vintage shop? Meanwhile, a sign hung behind her saying that they were in need of men's clothing, in particular well-kept men's clothing from mainstream stores. Hmm. Then perhaps it's best not to hire NYU students wearing shredded rags to sort through people's items. But what made me incredulous, having shopped there, were the comments about how well the clothes were taken care of. I have seen wool sweaters that were obviously shrunk, or had holes or sections missing hanging from their racks for upwards of $30 or $40. As someone who takes damn good care of his clothes, I was pissed off. And the comment at the end of the experience, "When the store's full like this, we can't accept any old stuff. Sor-ry!" Well, let's just say that she earned Buffalo Exchange a one-star rating and one less customer. read more

Came across this place completely by accident. To be honest I've never really shopped in a thrift store before. So much fun! But I did not like while looking through a rack of clothes having some crazy lady push all the clothes on her end to one side, completely closing out my little nook I had going which made me lose my spot while digging for something good. Not so much fun. So I just walked away making a note to myself: to find her later and ruin her nook. Other then that the variety in crazy clothes were fun to browse through. Shoes not so much. I have a weird thing about wearing shoes from unknown people. Still for a virgin thrift shopper, I found some cute things. Sky* read more

I keep having really pretentious experiences at this location and it's really unfortunate. The first time I came here I was told that I had to make an appointment. Maybe because of COVID? They told me to wait 20-30 minutes and "maybe" they could appraise my clothes. I was fine with that. The workers were a bit snooty and flippant. I waited about half the time they suggested before they said that they were just too overwhelmed by the amount of clothes and that I needed to make an appointment. I am not sure if the workers had much experience in this area because it felt like the customer service was lacking. As someone who has worked in increasingly demanding customer service jobs with high levels of client requests where I haven't had a moment to catch a breath, I was a bit put off by the flippancy and inflexibility they had when it came to something like the simple task of appraising clothing. Of all the potential jobs a person could have...believe me, working in a retail consignment shop where all you have to do is look at clothes is the LEAST debilitating. Especially in a deadly pandemic with 10.1 million people unemployed. Nevertheless, I acquiesced and asked what times were available--to which they responded that they "didn't know" and that I "have to call". Why would I call a store when I am already there? Will they suddenly know what times are available once I leave the store and call them? Just take a breath and check your system! The second time I came to this location, I booked an appointment over the phone. The customer service was great. I was greeted by a much more pleasant rep. I left about 20-30 items with him. He mentioned he was running behind so per his request, I waited 30 minutes for him to finish and browsed the store which had exactly the same style of clothes in my wardrobe. I am someone with solid taste, both designer and thrift clothes, and a changing aesthetic and diverse apparel. But this guy accepted just about 0 of my items. I thought "well this seems kinda weird. It's not like I even wear the same styles." I've been featured in multiple fashion magazines. I know my shit is tight.... but I digress. There were rompers, simple dresses, a plain brown coat, skirts, jewelry, trousers, a necklace in my bag. The rep rejected my clothes because "the store is only representing 'sporty casual' right now as that's what's 'trending' ". LOL Something about that response was laughable to me as just about everything in the store was random, even the very clothes on the customer service rep-- ironically, Purple Overalls. If the process of consignment is this complicated and random, then just have people upload pictures of their clothes for the review process ahead of time and THEN have them come in to collect money or use the store credit. The process as it stands now, seems arbitrary. Moreover, the taste in apparel comes off equally so. Some of the workers can be very pretentious at times and have very little regard for others' time. What they see as "trending" is contextually unclear, nor does it seem to be represented in the store itself--from counter to clothing racks. I am giving 1 star. Although, the guy who took my transaction the second time was actually quite nice about it and I genuinely did love his outfit--those overalls were dope af--I really had no idea what he was talking about. But that "sporty casual" thing definitely tripped me up and made me laugh because it perfectly encompassed how obnoxious this store can be and how it really needs some serious infrastructure. If sporty casual means: no crop tops, no pants, no skirts, no dresses, no jackets, no rompers, no jewelry...then I am guessing it must mean "naked" because what else IS there? There were several other very full bags next to mine that others had left that had been rejected. It's just outlandish and obnoxious that so many diverse clothing items from clients are not "in" or "trending"... What kind of hipster stuff is this? Either humans have evolved passed needing clothes or this business model is clowning folks. Don't have people spend time and money coming to you if you don't have a consistent system in place, you lack good customer service, or are likely to turn them away based on your individual idea of something. Instead of this arbitrary and inconsistent pretentiousness, figure out what you're actually marketing, be consistent, and be willing to meet your clients' needs by making the process more convenient for them. This isn't a university or government bureaucracy. It's not fast fashion. It's Buffalo Exchange read more

Don't waste your time! Most of the clothing for sale is junky crap from forever 21 with holes and mystery stains. Forget about selling here! The buyers are rude, pretentious, and obnoxious. I brought a bag of designer label clothing (Marc Jacob, Vera Wang, and French Connection), that was in current season and amazing condition. I also had gently used items from Urban Outfitters and Asos. Everything was rejected. This included a dress that I previously purchased there (bad decision) and decided to sell back. Don't bother going to this place, the staff attitudes and shitty inventory are not worth your time. read more

Definitely worth a stop when in the area! I definitely prefer this location to the one in the East Village, and for a multitude of reasons. Reason #1: Not claustrophobic. The space is large and fairly well organized. There were no clothes on the floor or flung carelessly on the racks. It also wasn't as crowded! Reason #2: Kind employees. I didn't need any help as I was just browsing, but I had two very pleasant ladies chatting me up and offering to help. I spent a good 10 minutes talking to one of them about Marc Jacobs and the mess of his "junk stores" in the West Village. We talked about his bags and how many of them each of us owned.... (I only have 3, don't judge me!) Anyway, it was nice to randomly talk to someone about my Marc Jacobs bag obsession and know I'm not alone! Reason #3: Bigger selection. Probably because the store itself is bigger. Duh. Reason #4: It's clean and everything I saw was in good condition, even the shoes! Anyway, I saw some cute jackets for ~ $20, American Apparel "dresses" (you know they're just long shirts) for ~$8, reasonably priced shoes, and a decent selection of jeans. I ended up snagging a great pair of Joe's Jeans for $14!!! They fit wonderfully, and did I mention they were $14? Yeah. read more

This review is from a selling standpoint. I've sold to Crossroads before but thought why not try Buffalo Exchange and see if they'd offer me more money. I was completely wrong. It was partly my fault though, not really knowing who Buffalo Exchange caters to and what type of clothes they sell. The buyer whom was looking through my clothes was definitely interested in the more "funky" and/or "eccentric" items I had. I feel they they care about how an item looks and then the brand. Choosing something that looks great even if it was a no-name brand. Buffalo Exchange isn't where you want to sell your Zara or H&M stuff. They only took a couple items and the rest I took over to Crossroads and they took the rest of what I had. Which I completely regret because I probably should have just taken everything over to Crossroads and would have gotten more money. If you have more funky/eccentric/one-of-a-kind clothes come here. If you have more Zara/H&M/designer/on-trend clothing go to Crossroads. I'd recommend Crossroads over Buffalo Exchange for buying or selling any day. read more

Much better than Beacon's Closet for several reasons: 1) the staff is really upbeat and friendly, and TALKS to you! They will even offer to start you a fitting room if you are overburdened with your finds. 2) the racks aren't ridiculously overstuffed and dark. I like that you can SEE in here, and there is room to move around. 3) the quality of merchandise is better picked overall, and you don't have to worry as much about damaged goods as you do at Beacon's. 4) They actually organize the racks by size! 5) They don't blare the music so loud so that it is unpleasant to shop here, and the music is upbeat and fun. 6) Selling is not an unpleasant experience here. I sold a bit of stuff here recently and they went out of their way to let me know, in a friendly way, why they were taking some stuff and why they weren't taking other stuff. I didn't need them to do that, but they were so sweet about it. It's almost as if they are deliberately trying to work against the kind of bad reputation that Beacon's has. It's really nice, and pleasant. I can not beat the fact that I found SIX pairs of jeans that actually fit me, and I am challenged to find ONE that does in a retail store. But maybe I just got lucky and some girl with my shape sold a bunch to them before I arrived :-D read more

I PERSONALLY witness two black people being followed around the store by employees. I was doing the exact same things as them but they were the only ones being followed. Another woman noticed like I did, and she immediately said something to one of the managers and it wasn't taken seriously. I then witnessed an African American woman attempt to tell the manager how uncomfortable she felt being watched and the manager basically made it seem like they just watch everyone. She talked over this lady and interrupted her so many times I just put my stuff back and walked with her out of the store. Some white liberals are honestly just horrible and no better than whites they claim not to be like. I will never return to this store. Absolutely disgusted with the racist undertones. read more

This is a review for buying back, not purchasing items in the store. The workers seem nice, that is to each other, and could care less that you're standing there. Don't even waste your time trying to sell things at this location, they donate 99.9% of it, even when most of the items have price tags still on them. Then they tell you they're "too used looking". Most of them weren't even worn! I stood in line for 30 mins mid-week in the afternoon and watched as everyone in front of me sold MAYBE 1 or 2 items at most. In short, waste of time. Donate your clothing to a charity of YOUR choice. read more

This is THE Buffalo Exchange to go to in NYC. I will say this: The buyers now are significantly less talented than say 5-6 years ago. Outside of that, I've found Supreme Parkas here for 30 bucks. ALL kinds of cool sneakers in good condition. People that gave this spot a one star are sensitive cuz their clothes were rejected. Lol, your feelings will be hurt if your clothes are wack and you try to sell here. Oh, they'll try to be nice to you about it, but you're still gonna feel a ways and rejected. It's part of selling used clothes so don't be butthurt. Because whatever they reject, Cross Roads trading company a few blocks over will buy from you for sure. lol. Significantly better selection than other NYC locations. Dudes who work in Streetwear dump a lot of their extra clothes here too. The come-ups used to be BOUNTIFUL. The occasional flourish is still here but not like it was 4-5 years ago. read more

Very nice vintage store. My daughter found cute shirts 10$ each what a bargain. There are so many cute jeans Levi's guess and anything else you can possibly find. Place is so cute when you buy item you get a token to donate out of your purchase some money automatically to charities. I chose a children's charity but there are 2 others. Place has cool clothes shoes bags boots and earrings and other stuff. Adorable cute stuff. Definitely worth the $$$. You must purchase a bag we did not we just took stuff with out a bag. I think u can bring ur own bag. I d definitely recommend this vintage place. read more

I don't like having too many choices. Even buying toothpaste from the drugstore gets to be a hassle when there are fifty different brands available, which is the main reason why I really, really, really like this particular Buffalo Exchange: there aren't racks and racks of clothing packed to the gills like Beacon's Closet, which can make thrifting more akin to physical exercise than shopping. Sure, there are plenty of crappy t-shirts and mediocre jeans to get through, but there are also Watermelon-printed Vans for $17 and lots of adorable summer dresses. As far as selling clothes here, I'm an even bigger fan. The salespeople are always friendly and fair about their choices. I sold a bag of items today and received, along with those aforementioned goofy Vans, about $60 in cold, hard cash. Some of the items the manager bought from me had been rejected by another BE salesgirl only two weeks prior, so be persistent, but also sensible. Nobody but nobody wants your octogenarian mother's size 14 flowered pantsuits. read more

My first Brooklyn Buffalo Exchange experience: Clothing: super cute, a little overpriced compared to San Francisco finds, but I scored a black tank and cute vintage looking sweater. All the racks have clothing arranged by size, which made it easy to find stuff. Employees: One of the new employees was super friendly and very helpful. Told me places to get wine, told me about consignment shops and overall extremely helpful. Then the employee at the dressing room correctly guessed that my shoes were Deena and Ozzy. Very impressive. So why I am giving this store only 2 stars? Purchase: The brunette 'trainer' lady who rang me up was super rude and did not bother to greet me. I have never ever experienced customer service that smelled worse than my dog's poop. She didn't say one word during the transaction, looked bored and distracted, and just flung the receipt at me. Sorry Buffalo, your clothes are cute, but with such too cool for school employees, I'd rather shop elsewhere. read more

This store is pretty small as far as Buffalo Exchanges go, but it was the first in New York City and is still pretty awesome. I remember BEs based on what I buy there, and at this one, I found the best pair of jeans I've ever owned--a fabulous pair of dark Rock and Republics hemmed to the exact length that fit me. Somewhere out there is a girl my height and size that I would love to thank in person for passing these jeans along. My only complaint besides the size is the location. It's a bit of a walk from the subway and in a very dodgy-looking area. I'm not very familiar with Brooklyn, but I know I wouldn't want to walk there alone. I'd rather stick to the newer location in the East Village, where I assume other BE loyalists have headed. read more

The selection here is decent for women, sparring for men. Nonetheless, I did find an awesome G-Star Raw jacket for $32, when they normally go for $200 plus...so, I'll take that as a win. The fitting rooms are spacy enough and the staff are pretty friendly. Check it out for shopping but I would never consign here, saw plenty of people leaving with bags still full of clothes. read more

This is not a place to bring nice design clothing to sell. By looking at how they organize it is easy to see the brand us not appreciated or valued or known well. You could be disappointed by the pricing they give to them or they even might take any of item, which could worth very well in another store. However that means you might be able to find really good items going through the jungle with patient. The staffs looks and behaves very young here. read more

Love the cleanliness of the store and really appreciated the variety they had to offer. As a male, thrift stores shopping is a little difficult because they mainly have women's but the amount of mens clothes they had to offer was great. We went today to try and sell some clothes and only took one pair of jeans and two shirts which ended us up with $8.10 which is pretty sucky. For consignment, I would suggest another place, but for thrifting I would say A OK. Plus, I found a pair of 9/10 condition doc martens for fifty bucks which was perfect because thats the number one thing I look for when I go to thrift stores. Will definitely come back to shop, but not to sell. I recommend this place. read more

I always have som good luck at the buffalos in Brooklyn as opposed to the city. I got 4 items that came up to +$70 but I did sell clothes so I paid nothing out of pocket. Their stuff can be pretty pricey but sometimes it's worth it. Especially for me where buying shorts can sometimes be a hassle and I found a cute pair that fit perfectly. The manager helped me with an issue I had with my trade card but was able to settle everything. Can't really comment on customer service because it wasn't bad, but not good either. read more

Okay, let me just start off by saying that I truly love Buffalo Exchange. It's a northern cali based store that i grew up on. All my best vintage goods have come from this lovely establishment. So imagine my joy when I found out that one was opening right in my fab lil hood! I have gotten some great little finds, and its sucks cuz its just around the corner (literally in the same building) as the gym I teach at. So I seriously have to bee-line for my bike and peddle my ass home before I get too curious about what lies on the racks around the way. Cute little tops and dresses abound! On another note, I have recently felt jilted by B.E. They offer a clothing exchange and lately they've become even pickier than Beacon's! And Beacon's is just ridiculous when it comes to trying to sell your stuff. And my shit is cute, damn it! Anyhow, I'm over it now, but just be aware that if you decide to try to exchange or sell your clothes....they just might diss ya! read more

I didn't get a good chance to look around, the way one should in a store of this variety.... However, I did notice their accesory selection, and I like it. There is alot to choose from. I also noticed, there was a large mens selection. In fact, this was the first time I've ever noticed a store having a bigger selection 4 men. So, gentleman this should B your thrift store. I sold some clothes here too. They didn't take alot, but I feel they were nice about the whole situation. (more so than BC) I've been to other BE, and I feel this one is on par with them... Obviously the inventory can change daily at stores of this variety. So, you need to check in, often. Overall, I would prefer to come here, over BC. read more

Needs to be a much bigger space for all the foot traffic but I've found it well organized and have some really cute rare finds. In comparison to crossroads nearby, I'd go here instead!! Staff have always been welcoming and helpful as well. read more

The selection here isn't too huge, but there are some decent prices and gems to be found. I gave it two stars because according to a friend I went with, the shirts he tried on had pit stains and smelled terrible. Isn't there some sort of screening process these clothes go through before they're sold to the general public? Compared to Beacon's Closet and Crossroads Exchange (for buying items, not selling), this ranks last on my list. read more

Whenever I go to Buffalo Exchange I always have the problem of paring down what I'm holding in my arms to a reasonable amount. There is so much stuff to look through so it's going to take some patience. This is not a good store to just run into to try to find something; you have to be willing to spend some time pawing through the racks of clothes to find something that works for you. I've gotten some great purses at this location as well as dresses. That being said, it's easy if you know you want a dress to just make a beeline to the dress section and go to town. I love organization. I can't stress it enough (and it seems weird to say) but make sure you try everything on. Even if you know the brand or know your size. I have found many things in the wrong size section just because that's what it says on the tag. So even though everything is separated by size, it doesn't hurt to look through everything. As long as you're ready to shop, this is a good store to go to. Or if you're just looking for accessories. Those are always easy. read more

So, I thaught lets try this place for once instead of "Beacon's Closet"...My first time here was ok. I took several pieces to sell or trade for something that may catch my eye. However, they don't have enough buyers so you have to wait a while 'til someone sees you and goes over every piece with you. It took too long and they took less than half plus didn't offer enough for certain pieces which were worth more. Their stock is designer names or trendy styles but there is not enough of a selection to pick from...I rather stick to a mix of designers and form my own style. I am sticking to "Beacon's Closet" where I don't have to wait with my bag and where there's plenty of goodies for me to get! ;) read more

Just moved to the area and this Buffalo Exchange was one of the first shops I hit up. Good selection of designer goods, well organized and neat. The staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly. Chatted it up with Ginno who turns out to also be a Bay Area native. He helped me find a couple of pieces to add to my wardrobe. Will definitely be back! read more

This review is for the selling experience. It was my first time ever selling to a shop in my life and I had a positive experience selling to Victoria. The signs behind the counter specified that they are looking for winter season apparel and listed items such as faux furs, fun patterns, 70s themes items, and more. She skipped out on sweaters because of the over abundance they still have in stock due to the unusual weather this year. They also skipped out on the tank tops and sheer blouses from myself and the two women before me. She particularly loved my denim shirts: one fresh Gap piece, a cropped jacket, and an 80s/90s Snoopy embroidered one. She skipped past the denim jeans, even though the sign said they were looking for high-waisted jeans. She loved my Zara back zip skirt and took both of my Uniqlo button ups. She said they were great, unique in design, and crisp. She took my loose black beanie that was unique. She didn't take my skinny belts or chef uniforms. I had a couple of going out tops that she advised I should come back with when they are in season (spring/summer): tank top halter and a one sleeved top from Express. Also rejected summer colored pants that are not in season. Overall, I was offered $50 store credit or $30 cash. I had a great experience! Will Yerdle or donate the rest of the stuff I didn't sell. More tips: Be sure to bring things that are in season. Don't be afraid to bring a unique item. No uniforms. Button/zip up everything so it looks presentable and fold nicely to prevent wrinkles! They do check brands. She liked my Gap, Uniqlo, and random uncommon brands. Really depends on the item though. Yes to Gap denim button up but No to Gap sweaters. Depends on their existing stock of items. Not accepting more sweaters or regular pants for this season. Victoria is a sweetheart. Good luck! read more

Is it me or did this store used to be waaaaay better? I used to shop here and come out with armfuls of new(ish) fashions to play with. Now I don't tend to find as much good stuff anymore. And it's so overpacked and overcrowded - both with merchandise and with shoppers, that it's kind of a nightmare at all times. And don't bother ever trying to sell your stuff here. There's a line out the door at all times, and then they never want your stuff, because it's just not cool enough. Even if it was purchased there last year (not that I've done this of course.) The staff is kind of nice and helpful and there's never a line for the changing rooms, which is good. I wish there were just less people in the world, I think. read more

I have seen a couple of poor reviews on here as far as selling back items. I must say that I went in today to sell (got in maybe 20 minutes after they opened, and there was a minimal line), and had a very pleasant experience. I forget the name of the buyer helping me but she had a short bob haircut and possible Dali tattoos (I was going to ask and forgot). We chatted the whole time she looked through my stuff, and they took maybe 20% of what I brought in, but, guess what? It's a business and they have to take what is going to sell. The girl gave me totally acceptable reasons for everything she didn't take, and even encouraged me to try selling my stuff at other Buffalo Exchange locations as well as a couple of other spots. She assured me my stuff was great and sell-able, they just have a lot in stock right now. I chose store credit, and left with a cute Free People dress, in impeccable shape for $15. They put the rest of my credits on a card. A couple of "actuals:" The store is clean and easy to shop. Will definitely be a frequent customer/seller. read more
