Is there a place that sell name brand, second hand clothes?

There's one at Sawmill and Hard, but I'm sure there's others around town. It's one of those "trade/swap/buy" type chain shops that also go by the names 'New Uses', 'Computer Renaissance', and 'Play it Again Sports' depending on what that particular store is geared for.

 

Quick rundown of the chain:

Play it Again Sports: Durable sporting gear, stuff that people tend to outgrow or upgrade. Good for active kids in high-equipment sports like football, hockey, and lacrosse. Also a decent place to pick up your first couple sets of golf clubs.

 

Computer Renaissance: Computer gear that's a generation or two behind. Good if you need a system just to surf the net, keep kitched recipies on, or let the kids abuse. Occasionally you'll find a printer here, but it's usually not worth the asking price. Couple of cards and cables, but their strength is the refurb stuff.

 

Plato's Closet: Clothes swap, great if you're a 'retro' teen, or need a bunch of clothes fast for a school production. You'll get name brands here, but usually at least a season or two out of style.

 

Once Upon a Child: Same as Plato's, but targeting newborns up through maybe 5 or 6 years old. Rockers, strollers, cribs, and a crapload of clothes. If you're on a budget or don't have family dumping clothes on you already, you'll save more than just your money by going here.

 

New Uses: See "flea market."

 

Music Go Round: We beginning to see a pattern yet?
