If the clothes smelt clean it would take the prospective purchasers weeks to get them back to the smell they like... in the mean time people might get those people confused with people that shower...that cold be disasterous!

the smell is from moth balls and dust that comes from being in storage for years (before ppl throw them out)! Once u buy them and wash them they are fine and for a 1/4 of the price of other stores.

I fucking LOVE op shops, as much as they stink. I found a authentic vintage Chanel handbag (i got it checked and certified) for 15bucks and theyre worth wayyyyy more ($600 on ebay). Some of the stuff like clothes im more careful of, because obviously theyve been worn before- i just really clean it. Because of op shops, i can sew and do alterations on clothes like really well now.

HAHAHAAHA baby wipes. You loser. I know this guy who has a disinfectant spray that he carrys everywhere so he sprays it EVERYWHERE HE GOES. He uses up a bottle/per day and it smells awful. He also brings about 3 towels everyday as well- so whenever he sits down on a chair or the ground or wherever, he sits on the towel. Its soooooo funny. He also refuses to go into public pools cos he thinks he might catch aids. OHH and he also has his own bathroom, and changes his bedsheets twice a day. Anally clean ppl crack me up.

I'd really love to be a thrift queen. I would.
But I can't. The whole wearing second hand clothes.. and being in an op shop. IT STINKS JUST WALKING PAST IT. I really cant bring myself to buying second hand clothes let alone wearing them. Not just for clothes too, assessories too. I think its so gross.
Its probably because i'm a germophobe. I'm monk on a lesser scale. People give me weird looks when I wipe keyboards with my handy baby wipes. haha. *weirdo*.
I'll tell you what's weird... I LOVE knowing that I'm wearing old clothes, and I love the smell and everything - but I'm actually a real germ-o-phobe too. Like, I have designated cups and knives and forks and water bottles in my house so I don't have to use the same ones as other people. And I can't even share hand towels or toothpaste with my family. It's so weird. :s
