Unless you were rated best dressed in high school, be prepared to have a very limited number of items bought, but that's ok, just be prepared for the shock especially if you drag in 4 huge bags amounting to your entire closet. TIP FOR NEWBIES who haven't sold yet: call ahead & ask what's been popular in sales and not. Bring what's popular and only bring your best of what they say is selling slowly. 25% CASH out and I forget store credit.

I visit the store at least once every couple of weeks and I ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO ACQUIRE for a reasonable price. That in itself is amazing because at my age there is very little that I want or desire. Friendly upbeat and welcoming environment. Very helpful employees. @BUFFALOEXCHANGE Major selection of clothing. Bought a beautiful #designervintage #vintagedesignersuit @costumenational #costumenational suit there for $50.00 that had its retail price tag of $3,700.00 in the pocket. Highly recommended!

Aaron Marsh

As a visitor to the country, this was a great experience! Good amount of clothes to trawl through! Compared to similar shops in England though, it did seem expensive. But I guess that's because it's LA and there's more demand in America! Would recommend

Lo Michele

This place is so unique, two problems: absolutely NO parking and not enough space inside for all of the public traffic coming through the store which means if you wait..it’ll be outside for who knows how long.

Jeffrey Perlman

Cool store. Lots of tee shirts, m&f stuff. Flannels, boots, shoes, etc.. cool store good people.

Jason's Review's

Its a fun,busy,store with loud music very good looking employees that interact with the shoppers. You can sell,buy,or consign your clothing that's in good condition. A must on your stores to check out!

Marc Bretzfelder

You can never go wrong at Buffalo Exchange. Preshopped fashion at Target prices. You'll always walk out with something stylish and unique.

There are great finds here, just crowded. Time to expand the space Buffalo.

Levi Wonder

Cannot recommend this place enough! Friendly, courteous staff. Quirky and fun atmosphere. Fair prices. And an ABUNDANCE of footwear to choose from. Been shopping at this place for years, since way back when they were at their La Brea location. Wholly recommended.

Breanna Ebner

A great selection of clothing! They had a majority of shoes that I enjoyed, I also found a perfect rubber hat!

Brittany Martinez

I have always found my treasures at this location! They have relocated and I never got a chance to read the sign they had on their door for the new address. If any of you all know please let me know! They used to have a small parking space, which was super convenient. This shop was right down the street from where I used to live. :( Pretty bummed they moved and I hope it's somehow better? I hope?

They resell gently used fashion and cater to a variety of trends, so you can find some really great and unique stuff if you take the time to look through everything. It's a good place to check out periodically because their whole inventory entirely depends on who's letting go of their stuff, who's working on their buying staff, and who was shopping there just before you. It's hit or miss all around, so it's best not to have a lot of specific expectations about what you're looking for when shopping here.

Chloe Grey

I could not of had a better experience! I brought some stuff in, my first time doing this kind of thing. I thought they'd maybe choose a couple of things. They pretty much took everything I set aside to try and sell. I got a store credit of $160, which I quickly traded for some awesome finds! $300 Vince sweater for $26? Yes please. I also scored some shoes too. I'm a very happy camper.

Tara Pholharath

This location is not as bad as described. Compared to the other ones I've been to in another state, I thought they had a great selection. This store also was not too cluttered. The cash we received for what we sold was fair. The employees were friendly. My one negative would be some of the high prices I saw. I bought a pair of shoes brand new from a different store for cheaper than what it was priced for here used. Other than that, give this store a chance.

Azune Achmad

Great finds. Amazing time to shop there. Staff actually seemed super friendly (they haven't been in the past). Very happy with this purchase and it was a reasonable price.

Ashley Gemao

Great costumer service, they were really helpful when finding something to pick and buy. My friends and I actually went there when it was closing time, and they were in no rush to kick us out, they were very kind and sincere. They have very nice and original clothing, very reasonable prices. I would recommend to have a store in LA to save ourselves a 3 hour trip.

dash

tell me why i spent 2 hrs beforehand on melrose looking for an affordable prom dress n found it here after 5 mins of searching 10 mins before closing… i love this place

Nancy Love

I had seen the reviews prior to me going here I was a bit hesitant because I didn't know how my experience would be some reviews are okay some are not. The girls who where there were very nice and helpful greeted every customer who came and left. I went to sell my dresses ,they only took one item which was a plaid skirt I was a bit dissapointed because the items I saw them take where the plaid flannel look or t shirts that hipsters would wear it looks like that's the style they want. I don't think I will take more clothes to sell which is dissapointing because I would not throw it away I think I will just donate to the good will some one will probably appreciate it there since they are more girly than for the punk rock girl vibe.

I wasn't selling anything, but i did buy a few shirts and tees. i was visiting other vintage and second hand shops that day, all had a good collection, but not for such a reasonable price! And it doesn't lack awesome clothes at all. A lot of shirts, sweaters, jackets, shoes, pants etc. I was there on a wednesday noon and had no problem finding a locker (felt like 80% was unused) and hadn't wait long at the cashier. also when you bring your own bag, a tiny (5c i think) amount get's additionally donated to one of three charities of your choice. I certainly will visit it again!

So after reading th ereviews here on google i was a bit skeptical of my first visit, yet i like to form my own opinions so i drove an hour out to the LA location. I wanted to experience buying and selling so i took a bag and a few boxes of unused shoes. The staff was very friendly no compaints there. They only took 3 of my items, which didnt bug me because they would be donated anyways. Although in my opinion the clothes i brought were a bit more trendy then what they had to offer. The girl had told me they like band shirts, no crop tops, and the brand new boots i brought were out of season and its fall. But okay no hard feelings i just felt they could use the stuff. Next i went on to my buying experience, I found a few coats that were decent and some cute sweaters, but shoes were too warn for a store like that and so were belts, and half of the things in there arnt selling because no one would even buy them from a thrift store for a buck, I used my store credit to get a coat which the cashier forgot to take the security tag off and im not going to drive an hour back...but i will figure it out. Without being rude my official opinion is the staff are all alike, dress pretty out there, not a bad thing but they need diversity, if you hire people with all the same interest then you will have clothes that lack diversity and style. When she said they tend to buy what they will sell i looked around to notice that the store was overflowing with items that probably will never be purchased because they are too warn and overpriced at the same time and because they regulars are similar to their style and not diverse for the jocks, pretty girls, nerds, vintage, sports, people this is due to lack of diversity so that more walks of life will see the window and be enticed to walk in and buy more then what they are tryouts ng to sell. In my opionon its a great idea but ideas only work when well organized and planned. I give it a 3 for this reason. I wouldnt drive an hour back but I would go again if they had one in the Monrovia or west covina areas closer to home.

Abby Aceves

I got here pretty frightened because I had read so many bad reviews but I had a great experience. The person who scheduled my appointment to sell clothes was really nice and pleople at the store too.

Jonathan Iskaki (ZipperedJon)

Cool place has cool clothing for great prices!

Ron Abrams

Libby and the rest of the staff are by far the friendliest staff I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. It's always a party when I come by and visit. The prices are always reasonable and I find a great selection of tees every time I go.

T Toca

Great shopping and u can even exchange your old clothes for cash or store credit. I believe they fo consignment too!!! Super trendy, vintage, unique, oddities, high end items is what you will find here. I bought Louis Vuiton pony hair Damier sling back pumps for less than $50.00!!! And yes they are authentic. Everyone i know adores this place

Nick Cochran

I find it funny that the only bad reviews are from people who tried to sell their clothes. It's a small, but great store which has a lot of unique items for relatively cheap prices. You should definitely check it out.

古着好き

They have parking lots and spacious inside. Affordable for me but someone doesn’t like this shop cuz clothes aren’t selected, kinda like thrift shop but more pricey than that.

Erick Morales

Decent selection of men wear. If your looking to sell men wear its best you dont they pay you ridiculously little or not at all. Only complaint.

Daysi Garcia

Sell your clothes and make some extra cashflow for that new eyeliner you want to buy but can't justify. Great customer service, lots of opportunities to buy sell and trade.

Sean Lewis

Dig for gems in one of the best recycled clothing stores in LA. Will you find anything? Definitely! Will it be in your size is the question.

Karen Cromer

The cashier were very nice they were moving fast as they can, I guess but it's was my first time going there, but I will go back.

A Gendelman

Overly priced for supposed posh and chic clothes, that are actually very used and sometimes dirty. Found a good pair of shoes, though.

Jaspher Casin

They have good quality (and unique!) stuff for a buy and sell store. I find the items a bit expensive tho.

Amanda Groth

Sold to them a lot, they seem to be overcrowded with clothing right now. Love the people that work there, super nice and welcoming.

Miss Queena

Great service. Their parking lot only has about 6 spaces so best to uber or you will be circling around for parking

sandy saldivar

theres no restrooms prices are expensive and hard to find parking....

Francisco Jimenez

If your selling, be sure its something unnecessary because they buy for cheap. Other than that, the place has some decent deals.

This Buffalo is packed with clothes and shoes. Some of the pricing is expensive and then some of it is super cheap so you really have to hunt around. They have tons of cool shoes and even some roller skates. I've seen plenty of demonias, dolls kill and even some vintage or handmade pieces in the store. A big assortment of different things definitely recommend checking out for shopping.I haven't sold clothing here yet so I'll probably update my review then.
