Thrift Shop Rebrands As Vintage To Increase Prices 800%
CLAREMONT, CA—A small thrift shop in downtown Claremont has rebranded itself as “vintage” to increase prices by up to 800%. Business experts are calling the rebrand a genius marketing move that will drive sales.
“My shop wasn’t doing so well,” said shop owner Amber Clarofil. “Our sales numbers were good but everything was so cheap that we couldn’t break even. It was an unsustainable business model.”
She continued, “That’s why we rebranded as vintage to justify the massive price gouging I’ve always dreamed of.”
According to sources, items that would normally sell for 1 or 2 dollars, such as used coffee pots or broken VCR sets, are now selling for hundreds of dollars. The store is also popular among collectors looking for broken toys and oversized t-shirts.
Clarofil claims the rebrand was simple. She simply wrote the word “vintage” on a piece of cardboard, taped it over the word “thrift,” and then added two zeros to every price tag.
“I wish I’d thought of it sooner,” said Clarofil. “I’ve already made a cool million.”
Longtime visitors to the store from before the rebrand are reportedly suspicious of the new premium on items.
“I’m pretty sure this cracked coffee cup only cost 25 cents last week,” said 93-year-old Joan Phillips who visits the store every day as part of her afternoon walk around town. “But I never buy anything anyway.”
At publishing time, Amber Clarofil sold a used trade paperback of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park for $3,500. The same book retails brand-new at Barnes and Noble for $8.99.

Seriously—after just giving away $40 BILLION there is no way we are spending another $28 MILLION!

$40 BILLION to Ukraine is an America last failure.
Intelligence briefings with “reasons” why we have to go to war with Russia are similar to the intelligence community telling lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
The future of the Republican Party is America First.

When the establishment turned their guns on me, when the Uni-party coalesced to defeat an America First member, very few people had my back.
This list includes the lion’s share of figures that came to my defense when it was not politically profitable.
Its not healthy
Why it’s fashionable to be ‘fat’ in 2022: How ‘size-ism’ is the last bastion of discrimination - and after a ‘curvy’ fashion week, all ANYONE is talking about is the ‘size-inclusive models’
If a number shows up on the alert bell click on “alert,” it is telling you someone has followed you, liked your comment or responded to you.
The alert bell is like notifications.

Redistricting update: by my math, if the final states shake out how we expect, 227/435 House seats will have voted for Biden under new lines, up from 224/435 today.
And, 212 House seats would be more pro-Biden than the nation as a whole, up from 207 today.— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) May 19, 2022
However, because so many of the new Biden-won seats are so marginal and so many marginal Trump seats got *a lot* redder, the @CookPolitical scorecard shows Rs are actually on track to net ~2 seats from new maps alone. Overall, pretty close to a wash. https://t.co/kk9Bwpx8Hv pic.twitter.com/TbZ3XmlPHr— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) May 19, 2022
But the most dramatic shift? A decimation of competitive seats.
On the current trajectory, only 33/435 seats will have voted for Trump/Biden by 5 pts or less, down from 51/435 seats today (-35%).— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) May 19, 2022
Of the eight states where the census overcounted, six were heavily Democratic so don’t expect this to be a scandal. https://t.co/hB5cbyWG19— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) May 19, 2022
BREAKING: 14 state populations were significantly miscounted in 2020, the Census Bureau said — a revelation that comes after the numbers were already used to divvy up House seats for the next decade.https://t.co/w2fKTPwI2s— NPR (@NPR) May 19, 2022
