…and that means it’s almost time to break out the skirts and shorts! I am SO excited for summer. Warm weather in Seattle is just amazing–It’s warm but not humid, and there are no bugs or anything out to get you. I suppose it is the one saving grace of Seattle weather. I actually went to go check out Crossroads Trading Company (a secondhand clothing store) that just opened up here in the U-district, just to see if I could sell them some new clothes that I had bought for my boyfriend from the clearance section at Aeropostale. For some reason I thought he could fit small or medium, but turns out he’s a large (HAHA). Anyway, these 2 polo shirts are really nice and along with this other shirt I bought for $2, the total sell-back value was around $13. Not bad–I would break even if I took the store credit, and not the $10 in cash they offered. What I did not expect to find were clothes that I actually wanted to buy–a cute Old Navy sweater and an AWESOME red polka-dot strapless dress! Both were $10 each! I made really sure to look for weird spots or stains, and they both smelled like normal, so I bought them…and got 2 compliments on the sweater the next weekend 
If they only knew it was from a thrift store….hehe….
I also tried to sell back some books that I had bought but (seriously) could not finish, they were so bad. They were:
1. A Million Little Pieces, by James Frye. Oprah, what were you thinking?
2. The Dante Club (author escapes me)
3. The Historian (Elizabeth Kastova)
4. The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions, by Anna Ivey
The last 2 had cost me 25 dollars, and I got 8 dollars back for them 
. The first two were so unwanted that I was happy to get rid of them for $1. Sigh.
Moral of the story: Books (that aren’t college textbooks) have SHITTY resell value. Clothes are okay for reselling, given that you bought them for dirt cheap clearance prices!!
