The wallet is empty, and the cabinet doors no longer close due to the abundance of things? The problem is easily solved – you need to get rid of clothes, shoes and accessories that you no longer wear and sell. The problem will be solved in a complex – and you will put the space in order, and you will earn.
general information
This will take quite a bit of time. In every district of Athens and other Greek cities, second-hand shops appear, where you can buy clothes at a low price or even pay per kilogram of purchased items. But you can’t sell yours there if you have only a few things – they only buy in bulk.
To sell old clothes, it is safer and more convenient to use special sites, we offer a list of them below. There you can sell things by choosing one of the ways convenient for you:
- send your clothes, it will be evaluated, you will be told its price and the site will pay for things;
- upload a photo of what you want to sell and get money after the items are bought. Payment will go to your account – the money will be transferred by the site or the person who made the purchase.
Each site below has detailed instructions on how to complete the transaction: how the clothes should be packed and sent, their condition, when and how you will receive the money.
Where to begin
The first step is to clean up your closet by identifying the things you want to get rid of. Have doubts about some of them? Remember when you last wore this thing, how long you keep it, and how many bills it can add to your wallet. The price depends not only on the initial cost of clothes or handbags, but also on their condition.
How to increase income from the sale of used items:
The better the condition of the clothes, the more money you can get for it. Items must not be visibly stained, discolored, frayed or torn.
However, a broken zipper or a torn off button will not interfere with the sale, but it can reduce the cost by a few euros. New clothes with tags will definitely cost more than used ones. You can also earn more on the products of famous designers.
How and where to sell your old wardrobe:
ebay: the easiest site to sell what you no longer want to have in your possession. You set the selling price, and ebay withholds 10% of the money from your sales, including shipping costs.
Vestiaire Collective: On this site you can not only buy but also sell your old luxury fashion items, shoes and accessories. IN Vestiaire Collective you will find detailed sales instructions. The process is not complicated, but the approval of the sale can take several days. The site deposits money into your account, and you don’t have to pay for shipping.
Depop: here you will find clothes and shoes for every taste and every budget. To sell yours, you must take a picture and upload it. Minus Depopa that the process can be lengthy. Your item must be sold first, and you will not receive your money immediately, but after about 15 days.
Asos: You can’t sell multiple items in this online store. You can put up for sale either 20 pieces if they are vintage clothes, or 10 to 15 if they are designer items, otherwise Asos will not accept the continuation of the process.
Remix: upon entering Remix the site will report anything you can sell. By following the instructions, you send them to the company for free, and they are evaluated there. You are paid directly for all approved products, and the company handles the sale.
Pouliseto: on this site you can sell not only clothes, shoes or accessories, but also all things that you no longer use. IN Pouliseto you log in with your details, take pictures and upload what you want to sell and look for interested people.
BOHBO: to sell your clothes, take photos and send them BOHBO. You will be informed immediately if there is interest. If you received a positive response and live in Athens, the person in charge of the page will come to you to personally see your clothes and buy them. If you live outside of Athens, you will have to send them to the company yourself.
How much can you sell your stuff for?
It should be noted that if the clothes, shoes or accessories you want to sell are new and with tags, they can be sold for about 70% of the original cost. If they were in use, then the price, depending on the condition, will vary from 20% to 60% of the purchase price. But if we are talking about collectibles, then the price can soar so much that you won’t even believe it, writes newsbeast.gr.
