i don't know if they thought my boyfriend was someone else or if they were profiling but i'd go with the latter. he asked to look at a shirt and they said no for no reason. it honestly broke my heart because he's the sweetest boy ever and he was so confused. they were all rude and honestly just ridiculous. go to better thrift stores. way overpriced and corporate. all around a shitty place. read more

I used to go into this place since they will buy clothing off you but sadly they are only interested in brand name items or speciality items such as costumes near halloween. Most of the sizes are for the middle to small people and I rarely found anything made for someone who is plus sized. Now and then they have vintage items but they will charge you for it. Most times For the prices they charge I would rather go to Savers or Twice as nice or buy something new from Target. read more

I am here at least once a week, sometimes more! They always have new things and I love looking through the dresses, tops and jeans for screamin' deals. The staff is mostly super friendly and helpful. The last time I was there (yesterday), a bright and cheery red-head was working and I asked for some fashion help. She was glad to assist me, and grabbed a few items she thought would look good. I ended up not getting anything, but she left a good impression and I still love everything about Buffalo. I am proud to say that I frequent the Original Buffalo, because I've been to a few across the country, and I'm always comparing them to this store. read more

Y'all, I got a lambswool coat with ostrich feathers, the softest leather purse and a dress that the Golden Girls would kvell for. Best day of thrifting I ever had. Thanks, Tuscon! read more

I always drive to the other buffalo exchange near the Aloft Hotel because they are rude at this one. I never buy or sell anything here. I rather make that drive instead to get that great customer service. read more

Growing up in Tempe, Buffalo Exchange was always my go-to spot for a last minute outfit. I could always find something there! I was so excited to see that Tucson had their own location... But it just doesn't cut it for me. The staff isn't as friendly and I can never find anything I love at a good price. I'm sorry BE, but I'll have to pass. read more

STAY AWAY!!!! This place is a huge scam. I took a tote of lightly used Coach , Dooney and Bourke, and Louis Vuitton purses in to sell. The woman at the consignment counter told me that they were only looking at items by appointment, fine. Then she went on to tell me that whatever they don't buy they are going to keep. Huh?? I thought it was a bad joke at first, nope, she was serious. She said they would automatically be donating whatever they didn't want and I would get nothing back from them. Why in the hell would I take expensive like new designer purses and basically just give them to them. And how do I know what they kept and what they donated? Terrible , terrible business practices. If I wanted to donate my things, I'd take them to Goodwill, thank you very much. So bottom line is this, they want to give you $10 for a brand new $200 pair of jeans, keep what they want, then donate the rest to a cause of THEIR choosing, and get a tax credit. Absolutely awful! I'll donate to organizations of MY choice, and receive the tax credit NOT YOU! My advice is to stay away from this very unscrupulous company, bad, bad news. read more

I have never been to a store with such rude sales people~ took some items in to sell and was told I could walk around~ I expected them to look at my items and wait till I get back to tell me what they want and how much they would give me to my surprise that wasn't the case~ they took about 90% of the items I brought in all name brand items with tags and gave me nothing for everything they took I told them I would take my items back but I was told to late they were already in their pile I took the credit and gave it to some girl that was buying some jeans I think this place is over priced sorry guys your not the Neiman Marcus of second hand stores the owner need to teach his sales people to be friendlier I would rather go to Ross then their ever again read more

Oh yeah.. so I'm a regular here... and the staff knows it! The last couple of months were a huge miss for me, as I kept buying things here only to come home and find a loose seam/small hole, but lately Buffalo has definitely been getting better about checking for defects so I am a happy camper. The over friendly staff + awesome location + great finds make this my favorite Buffalo in town. This location definitely caters to the college crowd. Tons of anthropologie, urban outfitters, banana republic, jcrew, lucky brand, some better condition forever 21, tons of Nordstrom/Dillards brands can be found here, and occasionally you can find higher end items such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany's, Tory Burch etc. Lots of fun jewelry as well, (costume and sterling). If you are looking for authentic southwestern jewelry.. Buffalo definitely will have something for you as long as you are willing to check back regularly. I have never found any real gold pieces here.. although I continue to look ;D Selling is also a breeze here.. bring in your gently used clothes and start cashing in on your used clothing. Keep in mind though that Buffalo is much more picky than Plato's closet.. or Twice as Nice.. as everything they buy and sell here has to be in good condition and they must be a good brand and or trendy. I know a lot of friends who come here hoping to cash in on their worn out Forever 21 clothing but later become disappointed when they don't take anything. What I have taken away from Buffalo Exchange is although sometimes it seems like they don't offer enough for your clothing... its a business after all. They have to make profit and still be able to sell things at a reasonable price so that buyers will actually buy. Yes sometimes it sucks when you paid $100+ dollars for a dress at Anthropologie or J crew only to come in and get $15.00 in trade for it as they are going to sell it for $30.. but to me thats the beauty of Buffalo. Someone else will be able to find my dress and think, "what an awesome deal" and go home happy. I for one have found many many great deals here.. only because other sellers understand that what you give away now for so little.. you will get back later when you yourself find that great piece for a bargain! read more

I'm a frequent flier at the Speedway location and leave the store satisfied about 75% of the time. Rule #1 for Buffalo Exchange - do not go there looking for something specific. Every time I make a random pass I find something I need/want; when I go looking for something in particular I come out empty handed. This past weekend I went in looking for nothing and came out with 3 pairs of slacks (2 from Banana Republic, 1 from Express), each pair cost $15 - one of them still had the original price tag. Buffalo Exchange is like a prescription drug, you have to have your regular dose or you won't get the full benefit. Pick a store, go every 2 months and you will be satisfied. Also, excellent for theme parties and Halloween costumes. I tried selling some clothes and a couple of purses once, the staff was very particular and didn't buy anything, but whatever. I rarely pay full price for clothes because of this store. ¡Viva Buffalo Exchange! read more

OK, this is a store that sells (mostly) used clothes. So go in expecting that. Also, expect to spend more time finding something you like. It's not as easy as walking into a typical clothing store...things aren't organized by color or style. But once you get it, this place is a lot of fun. I end up trying on a lot of things I normally wouldn't..and liking them. A good place to extend your style for cheap. The staff can seem "too cool" at first glance, but they are all actually really nice and willing to help you find what you are looking for. read more

The staff here is awesome, and they always have cool clothes. The one thing that bugs me is the price of most of it. Maybe i'm just cheap, but when i use to go to buffalo back in the day.. it was more "thrift store" prices. I can't bring myself to pay 20-25 bucks for a printed T-shirt. read more

Brought 3 pairs of designer jeans, that I had probably worn a total of 6 times, and got $16 for it. I didn't even realize until I got to the checkout and by then my jeans were nowhere to be found so I just took the loss. I would not go here again, ever. I heard Twice As Nice is better, but now I'm just too scared I'm going to get jipped again. read more

I love shopping here they always have great stuff! But they don't pay good at all for clothes. I bring in brand new stuff all the time and get MAYBE a dollar each for an expensive item40$ and up read more

Had a good ol time shopping for some western wear. Bought some nice black cowboy boots. The staff was great very nice, informative and helpful. Well organized, reminded me of Platos closet, but they take the cake. I recommend this thirty store... read more

Buffalo Exchange has been a great place to shop and find used clothing. I would be able to find t-shirts, etc. that were unique. As of late, within the past 5 years they has been extremely rigid on they're standards, as far as trade goes. When I browse the floor I see a lot of items that look like they have only been worn once or twice. I believe that this is not the standard of a used clothing store. In the mix of all the product 60% is of brand names. There used to be an array of styles and looks, now all I see is items that are super trendy and of mall stature. Even they're acclaimed vintage section is minute. I'm sure each buffalo is different depending on which city you are in... But the one in Tucson has become a cater to the university sorority and fraternity crowd. I hope this is helpful to the working class young adult, your items will not be taken. Don't waste the gas. read more

My go to place to sell clothes, jewelry, purses etc. in my opinion they offer good prices (more for trade vs cash) but note that they typically only buy very current fashions, vintage or name brands. They also offer to donate items you don't sell. If you trade, you are able to shop... Many items still new with tags. read more

Yes Buffalo is a national chain. They are picky about what they take so dont be upset if they dont buy your spring cleaning casualties. Staff is friendly and its a great place to get a party outfit. read more

This was the first Buffalo Exchange I had ever been to. I could always find the best designer jeans for under 40 bucks. They also have a pretty big vintage and shoe section. Pretty even in merchandise for men and women read more

They used to take our stuff in trade - like never worn tops from Urban outfitters - but no more. Yesterday I brought in some black leather boots I had bought there and never wore, But the last two times they took like 1 or 2 things and we had to lug all our clothes back out, same with the woman before me - she had nice stuff and they didn't take anything - so I think their buying is weird now. read more

Stop forcing me into my car and making me drive to your shop and demanding that I give you all my money....ooo, these shoes are so cute, I'll take these too :~) read more

I love this Buffalo Exchange. I think just due to it's size they have a large enough inventory that more often than not I find something great here. Probably half of my favorite pairs of shoes have been bought here for fantastic prices. It can be frustrating to sell here because sometimes it feels like they take so few things, but if you look around at amount of things they are selling it's pretty clear that they can afford to be picky. This does however make it more annoying when you try on something that you really like and then you realize it has a hole in it. Other than that though I have no complaints about this store! read more

This is a great place, the price here is very affordable and they have many varieties of different clothes to choose from. I came here to get some 1920's attire for a Yelp elite event and I found what I was looking for to match what I needed for my 1920's theme. The staff here was super friendly and actually helped out with choosing what attire I should wear! They also give you a token of what they would spend on a plastic bag instead of actually giving you a plastic bag and you can donate that token to a charity group! Which I think is a great idea and contributions! This place is a great place! read more

This is a place to SHOP I mean really shop. Which hello I love to do so it totally works. The selection is completely diverse and the prices are great. Brand new tags on True Religion Jeans in my size $60.00. I mean seriously! It was like I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I have purchased and traded several items here. I will continue to go back for more. Tip: End of the school year is the best! read more

This west coast used and vintage clothing store chain has a great location in Tucson right off the freeway. They have a small store that's packed to the gills with great clothing and accessories. Best of all they buy your used and vintage clothing and give you either cash or an even bigger in store credit. There's some cool stuff to be had here so stop by. The staff is mostly made up of young, hipster type people who are very friendly and know how to put a good look together for you if you need some help or advice. read more

There are several of these around town and I've found that all of them have their perks and their drawbacks. The one that I'm reviewing on Speedway is probably the biggest and has the most exhaustive collection of clothing. It's my go-to for any time that I need to have a certain type of clothing for work or for an event but don't want to pay full retail for it (I hate paying full retail for anything!) It has a lot of hipsterish type things mixed into regular items, but most of it seems intended for the younger crowd. There's also new stuff that Buffalo Exchange has thrown into the racks, so not everything you see is used. There are two reasons that I'm not giving it a full five stars. One is that it is very, very hit or miss when it comes to trading in your used clothing and stuff. I've been there times when they've taken a lot and times when I've brought in a huge pile of nice things and had them tell me they couldn't take anything. It's like it really depends on the person sorting through your clothing. Not only that, but they really don't give you much at all for what you trade. I traded a pair of shoes that was literally almost brand new in perfect condition and they gave me $5. That's a little ridiculous, given that they were gel-cushioned Nike flats that were hardly ever used (and I heard them say that they were going to sell them for at least $20...I should have just said no to trading them in!) The other reason is that also depending on the location or employees that happen to be there, they can be VERY snobby. I'm looking at you, Tempe location in particular, but I've seen this at all of them - they tend to be a bit patronizing like "We're looking for dark wash skinny jeans and off the shoulder tops, so make sure you bring those in next time if you want us to take it," like I wouldn't have brought them in if I wanted to get rid of them. Isn't the point to collect a variety of cute used clothing, regardless of whether all of it is super on-trend or not? Idk. Anyway, this is still my favorite used clothing store and a truly great place. I've found countless gems here by thoroughly scouring the racks, and it's a lot easier to find great clothing here than it is at your typical old-person thrift shop. I only wish they were a little better with trade. read more

Overall I like Buffalo exchange with the clothing they carry and other items. Sometimes I find there prices to be bit to high for some items then other times when I go there items are priced reasonably. So, it's a hit and miss. The stores are always clean and neatly in order. There staff is always very awesome and friendly anytime I go in there. read more

I'm surprised I haven't been to this store before! They have such great merchandise and the staff is so friendly. Amelia, young lady with blue hair, is always so kind to me! She has made my experience there always positive. I will be back for sure!! read more

Oh my gosh what an overpriced used clothing store. I would never go back. They are so into themselves who would notice a customer is even there? read more

Great shop. Tends to appeal to a young crowd, but believe me a 42 year old can find great clothes there too! Also very fun, sort of like a treasure hunt. Employees are super sweet, fun to see the cute things the young people are wearing now-a-days. read more

Good prices on clothes but they are really strict on what they trade in

Very Cool Spot!! I used to take my used clothes in and in exchange got almost new Prada/Electric/etc.sunglasses. Cant beat that!! However, as of lately we've started a ministry donations outfit where we take used clothes down to Mexico. But I still shop at Buffalo any chance I get. Awesome and creative store. read more

I have a couple of good finds from this place, but recently their prices have increased as they've started carrying more and more expensive or designer clothing. If you're into cheap finds from upscale (or at least somewhat expensive) stores, then this place is great. I've started going to some lesser-known thrift stores, though. Even though it's harder to find clothes that fit there, the finds are usually more interesting. Most of the things at Buffalo I could find at the mall. read more

4 out of 5 star. Every time I go into buffalo exchange I always find the cutest flats & high heels. I always seem to find cute cardigans or sweaters but other than those items, everything else is bad luck. In shirts I wear xl or 1x which is hard to find anything but I always find something. If you're trying to get store credit by donated clothes, it can be difficult. They are choosy. They are somewhat pricy. No matter the cons, a little piece of my heart will be with Buffalo exchange. read more

Sellers beware of Buffalo Exchange Buyers underpricing your goods so an employee can buy them, later. Ever notice how they rave over a designer item and then underprice it. I've seen this happen. If an employee wants something they are buying or another employee wants it, the item is put aside for them. It NEVER goes out on the floor. A policy that allows employees to purchase opens the door for this type of underhanded business. Poor policy. Watch Out! read more

Went in for the awesome vintage clothes, stayed and only come back cause of Alyssa their buyer!! She went above and beyond to help me find my new favorite shirt! She has more style than all the other workers combined and is able to articulate how to put an outfit together! She has an eye for fashion and buying merchandise. I never once felt like I was in a store with an employee but rather I felt more like I was shopping with a friend with amazing taste! I only come back because I'm hoping Alyssa is working, if not I come back another day! Thank you buffalo exchange for the dope clothes and even more dope purple haired Alyssa!! read more

BE is overrated and cultivates to a small demographic, people with influential styles in a low to moderate social class, with low to moderated education. Owners are wise to open stores in neighborhoods surrounding colleges and universities where students can't afford new clothing however, the exchange process is inverted. They buy clothes at a cheap price yet sell them at a high cost. Back in the day when the store was on Euclid and Helen the price was right. A trend started. And it grew. The fad expanded because consumers became ignorant so BE increased their prices and floated its way to the top gouging patrons and laughing their way to the bank. I've seen ugly shoes, dirty clothes, and stuff I could get maybe 3 uses out of before I throw it away.I've seen better stuff at salvation army. I don't know who to shame more the owners or the customers. The whole concept is unattractive. read more

I have mixed reviews of this store. Sometimes I score a jackpot and other times I leave empty handed. The latter is usual. In terms of resell-they really don't give you much back in the way of trade or cash. This is a trendy modern store. They will not take anything that is not of the style or in the moment. If drop pants are in-they will take them. If mid-driffs are in-they will take them. You must be saavy and know what is IN and what is OUT. They are very selective and sometimes I find that they judge who comes in the door. Almost like they are rating customers but in a very subdued way. Sort of snotty at times but there is selection if you rummage and have the time. The store is not that big. Goodluck. read more

Best consignment store in Tucson! Very unique clothes, vintage finds, and helpful staff. The trade value that they offer for your stuff is a little low but it's understandable. But be warned, if you're like me, you'll lose track of time looking through all of their awesome merchandise. I've seriously spent hours in here. read more

Staff was rude, clothes had stains on them. Caters to college students but wouldn't want my daughter wearing used clothes that smell like sweat. read more
