The virus might have put a halt to our glorious thrift store shopping trips but we're taking the internet by storm with the same practical skills and eye for one of a kind vintage pieces. From the coolest '90s to early 2000s character tees, reworked ternos, classic or groovy jewelries, down to the most coveted vintage designer bags, we made it easier for you to indulge your vintage fashion obsession with 5 online thrift shops that will satisfy your sartorial needs. 

We are also giving you tips and tricks on how to properly and safely cop the items you're eyeing on. And yes, it doesn't get any better than this! Read through our short guide before shopping at the online thrift stores we tagged for you down below.

1. Look for the piece you're trying to cop online by searching for its keywords such as the brand, color, and year it was released. PRO TIP: Look for the item's exact name so it will be easier for you to navigate your way around online thrift stores. It's easier to get search results under Boy Chanel Handbag in White Patent Calfskin and Gold-Tone Metal rather than a search query that says White Chanel Handbag.

2. It's important to source the item on several online thrift stores rather than settling on the first thing you laid your eyes on! Cross-check the prices, item condition, and origin of the item. 

3. Be polite. Online thrift stores have several purchasing terms, some sell by auction/by bid, fixed prices, and in some cases, you can even put your bargaining skills to use on shops that accept reasonable price offers.

4. Opt for cashless payments and door-to-door delivery. If meet-ups are necessary for your purchase, proceed with caution in proper protective-wear. Wear a face mask, a face shield, and a pair of gloves!

5. Once the item arrives at your doorstep, always remember to disinfect it first! There are several but different ways to disinfect vintage items. You wouldn't want to damage a nearly 5-year-old leather purse with sanitizer or immediately oxidize your vintage earrings with harsh cleansers. Read through our complete disinfecting guide here.

May these tips and tricks help you cop the item you've been eyeing on, enjoy thrift shopping online!
