What People Are Saying About Buffalo Exchange

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – The first Buffalo Exchange opened in 1974 in Tucson, Arizona, and has since become a famous-label junkie's delight. The eclectic inventory is built by loyal customers who bring in former favorites from their own closets to sell or trade. A constant turnaround of lightly worn men's and women's clothing and accessories keeps the bargain-hunting ground fertile for finds from the likes of Kate Spade, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and others. –

  1. This is the most expensive thrift store I have ever shopped in.
  2. find delightful deals here like Antik jeans for $100 (those are $300+ new and this still had tags).
  3. It's not that you won't find interesting and cool clothing here, but be prepared to pay fairly steep prices for what the store describes as

different opinion

by inamy

i went there the other day to sell my clothes that i didnt even wear and i wanted extra cash. Last time i went there a chick looked threw my clothes and picked some out but this time it was a guy i was a little sceptical because both genders might of had different opinion on my cothes. My brands were roxy i had a dress and i didnt even wear it at all! it was a present so ofcourse it did not have a tag and i had other items but i was very surprised when the guy did not choose any of my clothes! i was pretty bummed and i thought to myself if it was a girl she would of gotten some items but getting none at all? what a waist of time.

Hit or Miss......

by jls1521

What do you expect when you go into a thrift store. It really is hit or miss, but still a place I go to sell my clothes. There have been times when I have walked in and found many things I like and others where I swear I will never go back. I would def check this place out though--see what you think.

  • Pros: Good Clothes

Amazing.

by AminaBaby

So i just got back from going there the first time. It was amaaaaaaazing. I bought a pair of brand new true religions, a free people tank, a knit hat, a sweater from silence and noise, and a slouchy t shirt from bdg. My brother bought 3 pendleton flannels, a pairs of jeans from lucky, and like 7 tee shirts. Together we spent only 300$! The service was fantastic, pretty organized, and amazing clothes. Im never shopping any where else!!! Thank you buffalo exchange!

Be patient when looking...

I usually go to The Buff in Sherman Oaks and I always find at least a couple items. They carry everything from Target brand items to high end designer. They are extra picky when buying key items I found they always take are purses, dresses and basically worn once shoes. At times when they don't take my stuff I usually come back within a month or so and they end up taking an item they make have passed on. I always have items I buy from the store dry cleaned before wearing which I recommend...
