Where to buy and sell used clothing in Manhattan or Brooklyn?

• Where to buy and sell used clothing in Manhattan or Brooklyn? I'm only in the city part of the year and realized today I had a bunch of older (but decent) men's clothing to get rid of. So I Googled around and found a few places near Park Slope. Long story short, the proprietors of all three places were pretty outright dismissive toward the idea of buying my old clothes, all of which are decent quality and medium-fashionable. And after these interactions, I had no desire to sell them anything anyway... So, I realized, I don't know where the middle ground is in NYC for buying/selling used clothes that are decent and interesting without it being on the snooty Park Slope end of the spectrum or the ill-fitting, threadbare Salvation Army end of the spectrum. Judging by my Park Slope experience, I should just give away my clothes instead of selling them. What's a decent place to do that and also find decent threads for a mid-30s guy who isn't too unhip?

  I've used both Beacon's Closet and Buffalo Exchange in the past. In fact, I usually time my selling so that I can bring a big load around to Beacon's on N. 11th in Williamsburg, then bring whatever they don't take to Buffalo over on N. 5th. Whatever's left over after that goes in Buffalo's charity bin. Beacon's is selective in a weird way that makes no sense to me at all. I've dropped off a wide selection of stuff from vintage/designer things that are very much in style and in the season they're currently buying for, only to have them rejected. And then they will take a ratty old t-shirt from Target. I have had pretty good luck, overall, in terms of the amount of money/credit that has resulted from all of this. Once I made over $50 and I'm pretty sure they only took a couple of things, none of which were mega sought after items. My only assumption at this point is that the buyers have to be high. Do not ever leave behind anything "to be donated" at Beacon's Closet. It's widely known that by "donate" they mean, like, to them. For sale. Right there in the store. Buffalo Exchange is a little more together. They buy about the stuff you'd expect them to buy, and the amount of money is in keeping with what you'd expect. They're usually willing to go through it in front of you, if you want.
