Used Clothing - Online Consumer Forums Digital-Boards.com The Consumer Network

SerenBaker · 05-02-2007

I live in an area that has THE best used clothing places around. Some of their goods aren't even used at all because they buy out stores that have gone under and need to get rid of their stock. I've found big brand names for next to nothing, and I know of a few people who shop there all the time and sell on eBay for great profit. My daughter found a pair of Converse All-Stars, brand new, never worn, and paid about $4 for them. So we have the benefits of the big names, but not the big prices.

When I lived in the city it was just like that. We lived in a real affluent, business area where no one dressed off the rack except me. So going to say, a consignment store was like HEAVEN! Everything big name under one roof. All that shopping without ever having to move your car or walk to a new place-I loved it!

I shop like that, too. It's great. You get good deals on good products. No complaints here on that idea.

I shop used for myself, but tend not to for my daughter. Children's clothes are cheaper at brand new than used, if you shop at the right time of year at outlet stores. So I tend to try and catch the sales, and get everything new.

If you want, PM me and let me know what size she wears and what she loves. My daughter used to love pretty things from Frenchy's and because they were only a couple of bucks each, I didn't mind indulging her. I can pick up some very cool stuff for you for almost nothing, and shipping shouldn't be too much.

This is what I do as well. I buy and sell that way for a living. In fact I have some brand new Old Navy items with tags. But I am not trying to sell you my stuff. I am however telling you that you can get some very good things at second hand and discount stores so always keep your eyes open.

I love ebay as a source for second hand clothing. I rarely buy new clothing items. With a new baby on the way, I am aware that babies grow so fast and I don't see the point in buying brand new stuff when I can get the clothing for a fraction of the cost.
