Okay. Ive done these used clothes programs across the country before. I came in about 5:50 pm on a Tuesday night. They only have one clothes buyer on hand for their clothes, and its first come first serve, meaning if the person in front of you brought multiple suitcases and totes, you are SOL. I only had a handful of items to sell. So my suggestion would be to shift the employees on the floor who arent doing much to a register to buy clothes and alleviate the line. UPDATE: if youre in the store before they close, they will still look at your clothes and honor your wait time. The selection is decent, but since its a small store, the selection isnt huge. Pros: good selection, quality brands, friendly employees (shoutout to Brian the buyer here!!) Cons: small store, long lines, too few employees.

To sell... not a first choice. To buy, YES! Lots to choose from. I went in with the thought of letting go, so I told myself no matter what, let go! BUT... as one who does consignment, ASOS marketplace, and ThredUp, I definitely got way less than I would have if I had taken any other route. The stuff in store was cool, though. I guess the bonus is what the dont accept, they donate. So that was my mantra as I left, leaving quite a few unaccepted items with tags from winter 2016 season, and its just the start of February. If only I had decided within the return timeframe. I better not see unaccepted stuff on the racks!

I love thrifting but I didnt really have a good experience here. The employees are nice and the store is well organized, but everything is so expensive. This isnt a store for people who want to save money and find quality items for cheap. Its an "in" store for upperclass people/hipsters. If you want to find a great and cheap place to thrift try the stores in the less gentrified parts of D.C, stores that donate their procedes to charities, or Good Will.

$40 bucks cash or 70 bucks store credit for clothes that cost over $800... Cant help but feeling like I just got ripped off. Not sure if the buyers are way to inexperienced or that is just how Buffalo Exchange operates. I would have felt better if just donated my clothes to the homeless. If you are looking for better deals ( $$$ ) on your clothes I recommend you try selling any real quality items on places like Ebay first.

Pros: Customer experience, good deals on designer brands when in stock. Cons: Wishy washy sometimes with what they will buy (annoying because well call before we come so we can sell as much as we can) what they will "buy" vs. what the "sell" I sometimes have a hard time understanding the logic behind what they buy from customers, and everything I own is current high end/ designer merchandise!

I took four bags of clothes in and they took less than TEN items. They took my AUTHENTIC leather jacket for $35, I got 30% of that. Honestly, not worth it. The vibe in there is kind of cool but it is also very uncomfortable at the same time. This was my first visit and I will never go there again...

Nice selection of various used clothes for men and women. Although prices seem too high for used clothes, at least on the mens section. Went looking for jeans (I didnt pack enough for my trip to DC). Ended up at Marshalls near White House and found some nice new ones for $15.

Theyre some TRASH. I took like 80 items up to their D.C. Location (14th street) and the lady who helped me basically gave me everything back, offering lame excuses, and moved extremely slow. ALSO, 2 employees came up to her twice and she had to stop helping me to help them

Its a win win at this store. You can sell stuff or buy stuff. Both are great benefits. The clothing is DC conservative lets pretend its funky because its not banana republic but the truth is if you arent a follower of styles this may not be your place to shop.

I like this Buffalo Exchange location. The selection is really good and reasonably priced. Much less crowded than the Georgetown location. I can always find in season Madewell stuff here, as well as pretty nice vintage pieces from time to time.

This place is never empty. Ive found really good finds here but you have to mosh through people and overstuffed racks. Service is friendly. The fitting rooms are clean but some of the curtains are a little too small to cover the doorways.

Dont waste your time trying to sell to this store. I brought 2 bags full of clothes that were all in good conditions but the arrogant buyer in the store didnt accept any of them. Try to sell at crossroads instead, they are much nicer!

Great mens selection - always find something. Will pay the most for trading in clothes (much better than Avalon). Always have good interactions with the very friendly staff. Bag program is a nice added touch.

Just went here for the first time the other day, and I loved it. Im an average sized dude, and they had lots of awesome stuff in my size. I will definitely be back to sell and buy lots more stuff.

This is my favorite thrift store in DC. They have a great eye for quality/style. The store is smaller, but theres plenty there for both men and women, and I usually leave with something.

They usually have a very nice selection at this location. Its a small store and can be difficult to find pieces you like but overall they are at good prices.

Everything is used. I thought it was figurative speech but no. Everything actually is used and touched by people who then passed it onto the commoners.

Always find wonderful international items for around $20 - $30 that I know would be three times as expensive if purchased new.

Best buffalo exchange in the city. Its small af, but there are some great finds in there if you are willing to look as a guy.

They only pay out proper money to people they know or regulars instead of just based on the quality of what u bring in

Overpriced and not to many name brand mens clothes. You will be better off just going to a thrift store.

Clothing is hit and miss, but selling is absolutely terrible. Generally not worth the time...
