What did you do with your clothes??

[Louise1]

Pre-surgery I've already lost 2 dress sizes (22 to 18 woop woop).
I've been giving away clothes to friends & listing my more expensive items on ebay which is a right faff.
Anyway I was wondering what everyone else did or plans to do..
As a general rule of thumb all of my clothes are Next & M&S as they do trendy big clothes and from what I can gather they would sell.
Would you go through the faff of selling your clothes on ebay to make some money for replacements or give them away/to charity??
Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated!!

I was planning in doing ebay for everything to get funds for new clothes but it is a pain!! I suppose I'll have little else to do while I'm recouperating!!

I have already given loads of stuff away. I have an Ebay pile but it really is mostly dresses, coats and glitzy tops that I am hoping will sell well. Ebay is just so tedious that I can hardly be bothered to list more stuff. Although I used to sell loads of my old clothes years ago for good money, it hardly seems worth the effort for 99p!!!

The rest of my stuff will be going to the local Hospice and animal charity shops.

Maybe you could do some bundles on eBay ie maybe 3 tops for so much etc then that way it should cut your time down and also sending each thing out. X

Gave a load to very good friend
The rest went on ebay and carboots
If you really can't stand listing all your items either sell them in bundles or try and find a Trading Assistant (someone who will list your items for a fee) you can find these on ebay There are a couple of shops in my local area who offer this service

I filled 3 large black bin liners full of 5x trousers Jeans and shirts some brand new and gave them to Cancer research...God knows what they'll do with clothes that size...probably sell them to camping shops

i sell on ebay ,but it can be a pain, im lucky that ive done it for years ,mainly fetish/leather/pvc ,,but also other items ,,,but larger sizes are worth selling on there,,,,,then,you can give some of the cash to charity if you want ,,,start at 99p, and make sure you cover the postage as its very costly , but in my opinion ,it definatley is worth trying,x

 

[Big an Bouncy]

Charity shops are always looking for larger sizes,I work in one!20s and above will sell really be appreciated.
The fees on ebay are too much now.I made about £300 on clothes,shoes and bags.Fees were around £80!

hi
what size are they hun i am looking for size 24/22

All my clothes are 32 30 28 26

 

[lyndajoan]

i would sell the good ones and put the other ones in the recycleing in one of the super markets.

 

[biggy123]

I altered some of my clothes - jeans and trousers can be easily reduced by 2 - 3 sizes, tops by a size or 2.
Jackets, sweaters etc were all given to charity. I bought a lot of stuff from Ebay as I was losing and altered that as well! Am buying new stuff at last.

 

[Minoots]

I do ebay and sell 'job lots' .. no more than 5 at a time otherwise postage is too much. But it is a good way because you can mix stuff with what you know will def sell with some stuff that you think 'might' sell. Also this way i dont have to list each colour, description etc. I would say, for instance, 5 tops ladies plus size 24, all good condition and have a good picture of the 5 items hanging together. one by one does get a bit tedious... I also dont use my pay pal money until there is £100.. that way I can use it for something that I really want.

Just did a test sale on eBay - sold 3 dressy items in the party wear section but hardly worth the effort so I'm going to do a boot fair with the rest and what doesn't sell will go to charity.
