Editorial Review for Buffalo Exchange – by Bevyn Rowland
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.

So, I had emailed for information ahead of time and spoke to a manager stating that I was bringing in some items for sale or trade. Aside from the fact that I was stated a price for what I described, I explained that I was coming in from across the country on vacation and was just looking to let go of items, but get money for them. I was encouraged to bring everything I wanted to get rid of and to get it evaluated. Shame on me, though, because I lugged an entire tote bag of items to Vegas from Massachusetts, and they only wanted one item. This item, a Lucky Brand bag furnished with leather and silk, which I had told the manager ahead of time was a little dirty, was accepted over my other items which were hardly worn and in much better condition. I paid $100 for it when it was in Macy's, which I regret, but I regret coming to this store, as I was made to feel like an idiot for lugging all of this stuff across the country, including a bag that I was told would get close to $20-$25, when they only offered me $8 for it, and that was just in trade-in value. NEVER QUOTE SOMEONE A PRICE ON AN ITEM IF YOU CAN'T PROMISE IT! Also, the prices were a joke and the selection was sub-par compared to other thrift and vintage stores I've been to. Don't bother with it.
Pros: The shoe selection was kind of neat, and it seems like a cool place for locals. Also, they do their part in charity concerns, which I respect.
Cons: Not a whole lot that I haven't already touched on. GO TO GOODWILL INSTEAD!

I took the long ride from downtown Las Vegas and fought the afternoon traffic jam to reach the store. I really was looking for credit to trade in on for some different threads. Despite the five select articles I presented to the young lady who was the clerk for credit, I was given a lame excuse they couldnt buy them...it wasnt the right time of year for the clothes I brought with me...anyway, I walked out feeling like some moron for no reason......sorry, but my visit to the store was a bummer.
Pros: the clothes
Cons: the staff
