Great review of secondhand dynamics. I have to admit I'm hooked on Poshmark at the moment, and one of the things it offers is the chance to 'LaLa' your wardrobe. Remember LaLa? the CD swapping service? Probably not, but basically you listed your CD shelf much like your closet, and could cycle out stuff you didn't listen to for stuff you wanted. I took my entire college-era collection (U2, REM, and the like will always be wanted by someone apparently) and transformed it to everything exciting and current in hip-hop and indie rock at the time. Poshmark has the same potential for your wardrobe. As one zeroes in on specific brands, fits, and items that work for them - it's a great way to cycle out the stuff you don't want and cycle in what you do.
I love it. Actually hadn't dug too deep into LaLa, but not surprising to see more services like that out there. In general, i think if platforms can gamify or incentivize users to make swaps/trades/sell then it would flow a lot better and create long-term adoption. Not easy to do but there's a big need for this imo
Hey - love the newsletter - could you do a segment on the best mens fashion services for curating your wardrobe? Like where should people of differing economic means start or with differing styles look? Thanks!!
I'd love to see secondhand/resale/vintage shops that can help create outfits and/or wardrobe by budget. Could be an interesting take on the personal shopping experience, like what you mentioned with the aggregator model...

Love the garage sale shout-out, and the Alfargo's photo!
yeah man, i need to make it to one of those soon
If you're ever in Venice Beach stop by Animal House. Their vintage is some of the best in the biz.
Good recommendation, thanks Lantz!

As in, having a personal assistant / shopping stylist? That's a fascinating thought, and something I've considered as an extension of Sprezza tbh

Now there's an interesting idea!
