Second tip: especially in a thrift store and clearance racks, touch first then look. It s how you can find the good quality and the gently worn. Learned this from watching a friend. With her eyes closed, she would go through the rack, touching sleeves. When she felt something she liked she's open her eyes.

This is so true. I have tried a few re sale shops and saw cute things only to pay for them, get them home and find out they were stitched wrong, ill-fitted, or plain itchy fabric.
It's a great tip I think I will always use, not only in a resale shop but elsewhere.
