    Selling Clothes



    This isn't a classified so I hope it's OK here.




    I have a bunch of clothes I want to get rid of, I was wondering if anybody knows a good place in NYC to sell them. I don't have any great pieces that are worth ebaying but I'm hoping to make a little money on the sheer bulk of what I'm getting rid of. Most of it is Express, Energie, Diesel, D&G and some Prada from when I was in my fashion infancy.




    Aside from my specific question, I thought since many of you sell off old clothes we could talk about how you go about it. Do you sell something everytime you get something new? Do you cycle through clothes quickly every season? Do you base some of your purchases on how easy they will be to resell?

    You can take the designer stuff to INA MEN, it's on Mott St. between Prince and Houston. Call first, you have to make an appointment.

      Ebay is your friend. All these consignment stores will rape you.

        In my experience, selling non-designer items on Ebay is not worth the fees or the trouble. INA only accepts capital D Designer clothes, so far as I know, but you could try Tokyo 7 in the East Village--they take all kinds of stuff, especially if it's quirky. You get 50% of whatever the item sells for, which is pretty good for consignment.



        Personally, I don't bother trying to make money off used or non-designer stuff. If it's in decent condition, why not donate to Salvation Army?

          i've probably sold 80% of my wardrobe on superfuture. it's pretty easy (and well, free), as long as your stuff isnt ugly.




          i probably would have gotten 1/3 (if that)of what i've made overall if i had taken them to any consignment store.

            your stuff always sells like hotcakes on SF. By the way chris, how tall are you if you don't mind the question. I am trying to figure out if I saw you the other day someplace.

              Re: Selling Clothes

              In the past I've given everything away, but now the stuff I'm wanting to get rid of is getting expensive so I was hoping to get a little money back. I tried ebay, but for used stuff by brands like Diesel and D&G I wasn't getting enough to make it worth the effort. Maybe I'll give it another shot with some Prada stuff. Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll maybe try one of the consignment shops and if it doesn't work out some homeless people are going to be styling in diffusion lines
