Selling old clothes?

Is it possible to sell old, larger sizes as we move along? I have rather nice jeans and pricey sports bras that still have much use in front of them. I'm sure others could benefit from low cost short-term transitional wardrobe options. What's the policy?

Sure...Ebay, baby! My sister buys and sells clothes on Ebay all the time. Big market for used clothing in great shape. I'd also check local consignment shops, and there are some online ones as well...ThredUp and Swap.com to name a couple. I've gotten great deals as Swap.com, love it.

Thanks for asking this question, it's also something I was curious about. I'll have to check out listing things on Ebay.

I meant on here. It seems a shame we can't help each other out through the process. I have some really nice jeans and Nike sport bras, all that are pricey in large sizes, that I would be happy to sell for a decent price to someone in the process.

Selling on here would be kind of nice, maybe a forum created for used clothing? I have used "Thread Up" for some of my good stuff. They send you a bag with free return shipping and then send you a price list and what they will buy from you. Otherwise, I have been giving most of mine to Salvation Army and our local Veterans clothing pantry. Good question to ask and see if it's possible though.

I donate my work clothes to "dress for success" But I have lots of casual wear and don't want to sell small lots on ebay, to much work.

I would love to sell my cloths here, if even give some away for the cost of shipping. I have lots of size 24-22-18 (and soon size 1 6) including some $70-$80 22-20 jeans with the tags and lots of compression leggings and tips too.

Consignment shops here do a 40\60 split and require everything to be pressed and on hangers for about 20% of the cost the item was new...

I don't remember if it was this site or not but I was on a forum where people started selling clothes to each other. It resulted in a lot of drama and people saying that they had been cheated, over-charged and did not receive what they were told was being sent. It was quickly stopped.

I know it used to be against the TOS to SELL anything. You could only GIVE it away. Once upon a time there was a Clothing Exchange Forum, but I think that was a few upgrades ago.

Are there any local Facebook Buy/Sell/Trade groups, in your area? I belong to probably a dozen of them and have bought/sold all kinds of stuff, including clothes. Our usual "meeting place" is the Police Dept parking lot. I have never been ripped off ( yet...crossing fingers)

I donate, more than I do anything else. Plus size clothes are so hard to find for women shelters, pregnancy programs, etc
