thredUP Green is the new Black

We at thredUP love Fridays. But not this week. So much consumption, so much hullabahoo around "deals" that we've decided to rebel a bit with a new promotion designed to get you to consume less, not more.

This week we're pushing the envelope a bit with our thredUP GREENFRIDAY promotion (yes, that's the promo code) where we help you get a great deal and you never have to leave your home. All you do is look in your own closet. We really are "pushing the envelope" since we're giving away envelopes at below our cost to get people thinking about how they can make better use of the stuff they have already. You don't need new clothes, you need different clothes. So why not swap?

Here's a bit more detail about the promotion:

And what retailers may be worried about is here. I'll give you a hint (if you're a sale shopper, do you ever pay retail? ever?).
