1. Trading decreases the need for sweatshops. 2. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper than even Goodwill. 3. You wait less time (usually) compared to online shopping. 4. You can talk with the previous owner. 5. Sizes aren’t definite – rehashers write that it fits like a medium, even if the tag says small. 6. It isn’t wasteful – you’re saving clothes from an untimely trip to the dump. 7. You can build a new wardrobe of name brand things that might normally be out of reach. 8. Everything you purchase starts to become “worth it”. Like buying a new shirt – the shirt costs $13, and it’s about $2 shipping to get a new one when you get tired of it. 9. You aren’t limited to styles or brands available only in your area, which reduces the population of clones.

10. When you gain weight (me), you can trade out your skinny clothes for those that actually fit, without spending a fortune at the store redoing your wardrobe.

11. Rehash allows you to meet new people and have a closer relationship with your postal service neighbors. 12. One person’s old treasure can be another person’s new treasure.

It’s only cheaper than goodwill if you do a multiple item trade, which I have found is really hard to come by. A shirt at goodwill roughly costs $3 plus a 10% student discount. Shipping with delivery confirmation costs about $5 and I’m not sure all the transportation to get the one item there is really very green at all.

Shipping won’t be green until we train awesome eagles to pick items up and drop them off. We’re working on this.

:) carrier pigeons would probably be more cost effective than eagles however.

13: Post Office needs some stimulus too :-) They employee many people at good wages w/ planning for their future. But, yes, they need to be more energy efficient. Maybe deliver the mail in golf carts? Their trucks drive slow anyway. 14: It’s like Christmas when packages come in

NO! EAGLES!!!

15. When you drop multiple dresses sizes in a couple years, “new” clothes that fit can really come in handy!

• You can go on a wild shipping spree, and all you have to pay for is the gas money (especially for me since I live an hour away from the mall, and only a short few blocks from the post office :)
• It gives your lonely boring no-longer wear clothes a bright future to be with someone else who loves-em :)

you can save a ton of money by trading what you do have for something that you don’t have.
