This week's New Yorker features this piece by Susan Orlean about the online store The Real Real. There is nothing in that article that we didn't know already. New York has I.N.A. where I browse from time to time. Honestly, I don't understand the thrill of spending a lot of money on used clothes, even if they still hold a certain monetary value.
My only insight is that, when I packed up thirty years of stuff in my rural New Hampshire farmhouse, I learned what was easy to pass on to another destination and what was not. Clothes are at the top of the list. Some furniture is at the bottom. Artwork is at the bottom bottom, or, at the very tippy top, depending...on its market value.
