YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Urban Outfitters buys clothes at yard sales and flea markets and then sells them in stores as "vintage."
The retailer has done this for years, usually selling the used goods as promotions for about two weeks.
But an incredulous shopper recently posted a picture on Reddit of a tag attached to one of the items. It reads "this unique found item was hand-selected for you from a yard sale or flea market. Any tears, holes, paint stains or other 'defects' we consider a virtue and not a flaw. Wear it well."
Vintage clothing from Urban Outfitters is bought from yard sales and thrift stores, but it's marked up exorbitantly and marketed as "one of a kind." Would you ever pay higher prices for used, thrift store clothing? Wat about expensive new designer clothing? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss that and the probability of Cenk shopping at UO.
