The beach bums of Pacific Beach and the hip inhabitants of Hillcrest both agree on one thing: Buffalo Exchange is the height of rewarding fashion finds.

Buffalo is always jam-packed with shopping pioneers; eagerly navigating their way through a vast jungle of one man’s junk, and another man’s treasures. In fact, the crusader – I mean, customer – can even leave his or her own trappings behind for others to enjoy. That is, if they find your used clothing Buffalo-worthy. If you’re lucky enough to be one of those people, you can either trade it in for some fast cash (1/3 of the speculated sell price), or for store credit (1/2 of the sell price). The latter is usually best; that way, you can grab that great top you targeted from the moment you stepped in the doors.

Among Buffalo Exchange’s decades of duds, you can find shoes from fancy to floppy, and enough accessories to feed any shopper’s hunger. The racks, the walls and the cases can take hours if you really like to scour them all, but trust that if you do so, you won’t leave the premises empty-handed… although possibly with an empty wallet. If that’s the case, you might be able to sell the clothes off your back to buy a victory meal to celebrate a day well spent—literally!
