overpriced resale shop

I walk into Anthropologie behind a group of elderly women. The elderly women are curious about the new store. They have never been there. They enter the store and lay their eyes on Anthroplogie in it's purposefully shabby chic/boho decor and clothing. Sale tables in the front of the store house items in buckets with handwritten price flags on each one. The items include mix and match knobs for $3.95 each, aprons for $8.95, etc. The women converse as I listen:

"What is this store?"
"Oh! it's a resale shop."

I giggle.

That's hilarious! I absolutely adore Anthropologie, but I can't afford too much from there (well, you know, unless I don't eat for a month). You can find lots of it for really cheap on ebay!

I know, me too. It is very overpriced...and their little sale room doesn't even boast very good sales.
