I heard about these options:

  1. Go to a second hand store, offer your clothes.
  2. Sell them "on the internet".
My experiences

  1. I wasn't able to find a single store interested in buying my clothes. They were very interested in getting them for free. I rather throw them in my trash than have a shop make 100% money off of them.
  2. I offered a few, yet nobody was interested. Now I could play the whole internet marketing guessing game as in
    1. Was my photo good enough
    2. Was my description good enough
    3. Was my price appropriate
  3. Re: 2. Yet I think that given the sheer amount of clothes and the lack of image based search, people who could want it, just don't find it. And probably its mostly women searching for women clothes anyways, so nobody wants male clothes.
And if I throw them away, the garbage collector will sort them out and resell them.

So it seems the online route is the only way to benefit, except when ripping it apart good before throwing it away. Then they could take the thread and create a new one....

What is your working strategy?

PS: I am in germany, so marketplaces that include a big chunk of german participants are important
 
Man just give your clothes to someone that really needs them, you have a whole lot of ways to make money.

There should be places to donate it. This is the best way with clothes. Don't waste your time trying to sell it.
 
There is a swedish company whos making sick bank by doing the following:

Have a website and "known" brand,
As a customer, you request to have a bag sent to your door.
You fill the bag with used clothes.
Contact the website and request a pickup/or send your clothes in.

What the company does.
Wash and photo your items,
Publish them on their website with general info like brand, quality (used/new/brand new/label on etc)
And publish them on our "ebay".

They then collect the money, lets say it sold for 100$.
They keep like 50-60% (Just guessing, but a big portion of the sale price)
And you get sent the rest,often a small portion of the actual price. But then after all... You would have just given the clothes away or let em sit in the closet forever.
 
I did this with my clothes and made a quick $500, only had spent $40 on the clothes themselves lol. However, it took me several months to sell all the clothing.
 
There are websites like silkroll that buy and sell used clothes but it's mostly targeted for women. They did a pitch on sharktank but it flopped but I think their business is going good.
 
In the US you can sell them to second hand clothing stories like Plato's closet. You can even consign them at certain stores. They don't take every thing, only stylish in demand clothes.
 
Find retro clothes from big brands on second hands and sell them on eBay.

Big brands even know do a come-back trend, I see fila does this and they have success.
 
This is crazy that I stumbled on this thread today, because I literally made $200 today selling some of my unused clothing at Platos Closet. The rest I donated.

If you live in the states, they're everywhere. They buy name-brand stuff, so if your clothes are high quality, you'll make some decent cash there.
 
have u try to sell with "lottery system" ?

example :

gacha box 1 = contains 1 random hypebeast products with some used clothes = sell for $xxx.
gacha box 2 = contains 1 value gadget (iphone) with some used clothes / something = sell for $xxxx

maybe in 20 gacha box, 1 box contains 1 profit value for customer. so let's say you are selling all gacha box for $500
when they get iphone 11 on 1 gacha box, they will happy for buying it for $500
 
Netflea.com

Based out of Finland. They seem to be a great option
 
@ch3sty
I take it you are talking about blocket?
What is the clothes site you are referring to?

Cheers
 
I usually donate my clothes to charity if it's in good condition if it is bad, I used to clean my house, car, etc then throw it
