whatever buffalo!

Well I have extra clothes that I don't wear anymore so I decided to go to Buffalo Exchange with my friend who happens to have extra clothes as well to sell there.  So we got in and start selling our stuff.  The associate asked us to look around for few minutes while they go through/buy our things.  So we did.  Honestly I could see my clothes folded or hung in that store....

K. I did not know how Buffalo works. So the associate explained it to me.  Something to do with: Retail value, Cash value, and Trade-in value?  something like that.  haha
So yeah I looked around.  I didn't see anything for me.  It's not bad, they have vast collections but honestly some have stains! Saw this softest cashmere sweater the only one I liked out of 30 minutes of browsing had a discoloration I guess from laundry disaster. I don't know.  no, thank you.. 
So I thought bringing clothes in nice condition will be ok or acceptable... I also brought few old clothes too.


Eeeeh. Wrong!
they did not buy all of it.  Only 4 shirts I think. the 4 old shirts that I brought. hahaha
So I guess they like old stuff. vintage. yeah right not everything at the store is vintage though.   I saw modern shirts from Marc Jacobs and Custo to Banana Republic to Penguin and Ed Hardy to 7 for all mankind.  It may look vintage but its not.  Their shoes were also kind of new or clean I guess.   So why they just buy old stuff or old looking stuff when most of their collection looks new or clean (...but some with stains- haha)
I guess they don't want to pay more so they buy the oldies.

aah I don't know.  
anyhoo. I went back to the register and asked the lady if they're done buying or checking my stuff.  
Yes.
She asked my name.  I answered my name is   Leonides.
and she took this coupon and explained to me the retail, cash, trade in value.  
Turns out my retail is sixty-something dollars and if I wanted cash I only get:  twenty dollars and if I want a trade in value I get:  thirty dollars.   I thought for a second.  I did not see anything.  So I decided to take the cash instead for the----old 4 shirts.

thanks!

haaaaay....kainiz 
sobrang init sa loob nakakahilo na at yung music pa nila ang lakas-lakas.
I'll be happier to make balikbayan box/door to door box and offer it to my cousins back in the Philippines, because at least I know they'll appreciate the clothes.  haha 
aaahmissshu all cousins.  I hope we all  see each other again soon--a reunion ba?
