What People Are Saying About Buffalo Exchange

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – The first Buffalo Exchange opened in 1974 in Tucson, Arizona, and has since become a famous-label junkie's delight. The eclectic inventory is built by loyal customers who bring in former favorites from their own closets to sell or trade. A constant turnaround of lightly worn men's and women's clothing and accessories keeps the bargain-hunting ground fertile for finds from the likes of Kate Spade, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and others. –

Disappointed

by grtdsgner25

I brought in bags of designer clothes and 8 pairs of shoes (unworn stilettos still in boxes) and they only took the shoes. Which would be fine, except the amount they priced them at was a joke (maybe I could afford a Starbucks), so I told them I didn't want to sell, but they said the shoes were already on the floor and the girl had already set aside a pair for herself. What?!

I've always held this business in a positive light, but after the service I received and the presumptious behavior I experienced, I will never return and I will pass on my story.

I'd rather give away my clothes than be taken advantage of and insulted; lucky for me, there's a Goodwill a few stores down.

  • Pros: Great Idea
  • Cons: Poor/rude service

Great spot for expensive clothes on the cheap

by spudsocks

Since it's a used clothes (mostly) store the inventory can be good or bad, but I've had terrific luck here. I've gotten clothes from J. Crew, Banana Republic, Bebe, Lucky Jeans and more for a fraction of the normal cost and in relatively great condition. They also have a fun shoe selection, funky accessories and bags, and are a great spot when looking for a one-of-a-kind dress for under $30.

  • Pros: Great value
  • Cons: It's not assured that they have what you want in your size
