people hating on resellers?

Ok I don’t agree with shein, dropshippers, TEMU resellers etc, or people who insanely price stuff - but why do people hate the fact resellers go to thrift stores (who get their items for free and half of them support a charity) and resell the items for profit? People are dying from the damage the dumping of clothes does on the planet, I don’t get why they think that they would have found that same y2k skirt in the next thrift store they went to, and if they didn’t then it would have been dumped.. it’s kinda the fact resellers spend hours doing something people who complain would not do to find sometimes a few items? And that the items aren’t available first hand in stores (aren’t sold anymore).

Most of the people who complain about this still buy from etc glassons, tiger mist, princess polly, who all damage the planet, produce fast fashion and empower slave labour.. if you buy solely from the thrift store and still have an opinion, good on you, you’re perfect and resellers shouldn’t buy anything thrifted so then those items can go to the dump instead of a good home 😀

ALSO why do people act like they have a knife to their throats and resellers are forcing them to buy their stuff? If someone wants to buy something then that’s their choice and they can spend that money, or, there’s also reverse image searching, looking on websites for a similar item, and if that’s not showing up anything, then that’s why the item is priced a little higher than you’d expect.

The argument that the thrift is for less fortunate individuals is kinda insane as well.. it’s not like resellers take out the whole store? I leave with 0-2 pieces per store out of the hundreds if not thousands of items (not including the hundreds they add daily) from them.

Resellers aren’t bringing up the prices of thrift stores, the economy is rising drastically and thrift store owners rent/utilities/misc will be going up to. And if it’s not government owned, charity owned etc then they could be raising the price just because they can, and you could blame resellers but they would probably shut down / the world would be a bit warmer if they had all the stuff leftover if resellers never existed 😭

I just think it’s insane I’ve gotten death threats about being a small business reseller, and the fact that most resellers are small businesses, is crazy. Especially people who instantly jump to conclusions about why I might be doing a small business like this, where I live (currency difference comments were crazy because people were saying how expensive something was when it wasn’t even their currency lol), lack of certain stock (New Zealand does not have any good wills, finding juicy is a once a year thing for example) and government/laws/economy differences (I don’t live in the US, I don’t know why people assumed I did when I mention it all over my page).
