It's main function within the community was as a Walmart-esque shop where you could pick up a few wardrobe fillers, some cheap dresses for casual wear, and while their stuff is sometimes really awful, you could realistically build the bulk of a wardrobe from the good stuff they sell if you couldn't afford brand.
When I was started out about six years ago, you could get a pretty nice jsk from Bodyline for about 2500-3500 yen. Nowadays their dress prices are mostly anything from 4000 to 8000 yen, while their quality has stayed very much the same, maybe with more backwards prints to speak of.
On any given day when Closetchild updates, you can pick up a great condition AP jsk for as low as 6800. When second hand brand is that cheap, it's worth buying instead of a Bodyline dress. A few years ago it made sense when the second hand market wasn't as accessible or plentiful, and you could buy five or six bodyline dresses for the price of one brand dress, but that is rarely the case anymore.
TL;DR, you bet.
