Recently, I found this new ~ concept ~ online where you can thrift from the comfort of your own home.  It’s literally life changing. Especially as a college kid, I don’t always have time to go shopping, and I definitely don’t have a way to get there.  If you’re in need of some thrifting retail therapy, definitely keep reading. Thrifting is great for the environment and it also gives you some really unique finds that no one else will have. It’s also a great way to find things for half the price.

Find Accounts

You can find a ton of different accounts that sell clothes they have thrifted through an auction based process.

Shop!

Simply find an item you like, check out the size, read the rules that are usually stated on the account’s story highlight, and bid!

How it Works

Usually bidding periods last for 24 hours. So you can comment how much you want the item for, and the owner will usually let you know if the bid has been raised.
