It had been a LONG time since we had been to Buffalo Exchange, but our recent trip was a very positive experience! The manager and two associates who helped us were super friendly and helpful. We brought some clothing and shoes to sell, without any lofty expectations, and they bought about half of it at what I thought were fair prices for cash or store credit.
The store is pretty packed tightly, and some of the items were priced fairly high, but overall we had a very positive experience both selling and buying at the Buffalo Exchange on Burnside.

If you go before they close, they are too lazy to process any exchanges despite still being open. The security officer came and lurked behind me, and he was touching my body. It’s insulting to be profiled as some kind of threat and physically intimidated by a man.

Shopping here you’ll find pieces from SHEIN, forever21, fashion nova, etc. Many are damaged in some way and are priced way too high, as if they’re new. If you love paying full retail price for clothing that’s made by children in 3rd world countries with deodorant/pit stains, foundation on the collar and other mysterious stains and holes, this spot is for you. Bringing in a large bag higher quality pieces like Levi’s, free people, anthropologie, Madewell, or pieces made of nice fiber like organic cotton, merino, they didn’t take anything besides a single cotton sweater that was the cheapest thing in there-from target! I’m confused by the way they intake clothing. The employees are required to make conversation with you while they look through your things, which usually is just awkward and it’s clear they’re forced to interface. I get it, working retail sucks sometimes and it’s odd to me that they have this rule, when clearly their employees would rather sort things quietly and just let conversation flow if the desire is there. There are plenty other spots in PDX for consignment that are much more intentional. Buffalo feels like a desperate cash grab/cheap clothing resale mill, with miserable people working for them.
