However, I don&#039;t think it is inflation or economic pressures that are fueling the rise of thrifting. I think it is the love of vintage, and those wanting a unique style, and some eco-consciousness and those folks are (not poor) mostly middle class. I do agree that social media entrepreneur&#039;s are spurring some of this rise in thrifting as it is so easy to get drawn into YouTube and other platforms.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our antique malls have been packed this summer with mostly younger people, not the white-haired collectors you say in times past. A new antique mall opened in my area and I have to say I was stunned by the public support. On opening weekend there were checkout lines around the entire perimeter of the store and some folks waited 5 hours to check out. You couldn&#039;t see the contents of the booths, there were so many people in the store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
