Whenever somebody compliments my shirt and asks where I got it, the answer is almost always Buffalo Exchange. As a disclaimer, I have only ever shopped here, not traded clothes in. But as a buyer this place rules. I've never seen so many interesting and fun clothing in one store. Especially patterned button-up shirts: they have some crazy cool and loud ones. Pretty much everything (except maybe the shoes) tend to be in great condition, and the prices are reasonable. Not cheap, but reasonable. It's pretty popular though, so be prepared to navigate a crowd and try to squeeze through tight openings and walkways.

my go-2 for any event or just because is buffalo. i love buying - and selling here. after almost 10 years of selling, i feel like i've developed a good prediction of what'll sell, and i've sold almost everything i take in the last year. you can call the store to specifically ask what they are looking for. then, weed out any pieces from your sell pile that have stains, holes, missing buttons, looks outdated, soles are dirty/too used or is fast-fashion. think almost new quality, good condition & branded to have a shot. they'll also take unique and vintage clothes if the quality is pristine. contrary to the reviews, i've never sold anything fast-fashion from here. however, lately nothing at the store has caught my eye. i've noted more wholesale from boutiques. i used to love finding a one of a kind patchwork dress, vintage purses and boots, but lately, everything looks the same. the buyers aren't as friendly. i've always stayed up front while they are buying to see what they have an eye for. they don't look you in the eye, have side conversations with co-workers, or worse, ask you everytime if you've sold there even if you have stopped by over 10 times with the same seller. it doesnt hurt to acknowledge they recognize you if they dont know your name. it feels transactional where it used to feel more personal.

This place has gone downhill, you’d think they would take a look at the labels before accepting clothing. They sell so much SHEIN and fast fashion garbage brands as a “vintage store”. They should think about quality over quantity. Cleaner selection of quality clothes.

My fiance just took in some nice jackets, really good condition, all name brand. Northface snow jacket, Nike, Vans even Express. He took at least 10 jackets & was given $80…..I should’ve just saved my gas & time & sold them on Facebook market place. Staff is also selective on who comes in with what which seems to be an on going thing with other reviews mentioning staff being selective.

I used to bring my clothes, jewelery, shoes etc to exchange. It used to be very convenient and profitable. Not anymore. Unless it's ugly as sin, big and gotti, or costume like don't bother. I brought in NICE silver, crosses with cubic zirconia, beautiful pieces... nope. They are catering to this new generation and I get that, but wow. It's gone so so downhill. And the payout now is a joke. They took a pair of earrings said $30 and I got $5. I get I'm not going to get the $30, but I would've made more selling everything on fb marketplace and avoided that place altogether. That's what I'm going to do from now on. It's not worth it anymore
