Description

This week’s episode is part three of what is now a FOUR episode series (surprise!) examining the ethics of secondhand resale with Alex of St. Evens.In the third installment, we will be exploring the final myth: Resellers misrepresent what they’re selling, list things at wildly inflated prices, and overall behave miserably both online and in person.  We will also explore what we think is at the root of all of this anti-reseller rhetoric that just seems to become more and more extreme with each passing day. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this episode: Chloe, Tamara, Jules, Haylee, Jaimie, Josselyn, Maddie, Momina, Ann, and two different people named Erin!If you want to share your opinion/additional thoughts on the subjects we cover in each episode, feel free to email, whether it’s a typed out message or an audio recording:  amanda@clotheshorse.world  Instagram DMs will be turned off for the duration of this series.Get 25% off your order from North America Herb & Spice with the promo code clotheshorse25.Check out Amanda's other podcast, The Department.Find the transcript at clotheshorsepodcast.comWant to support Amanda's work on Clotheshorse?
