Where to sell second hand designer clothes

Hello, I have few designer clothes which are gathering dust at the bottom of the wardrobe and I could do with some money right now!
I would like to sell but I don't want to use ebay (I don't want to end up seeling them for peanuts). Can anyone recommend a good place to sell them? Either online or offline (I'm in London).
Thanks!

    I use dress agencies although I don't know any in London. Dress agencies will usually sell your clothes for you and charge you a percentage for doing so. My local one charges 50% and it's worth it for the minimal effort on my part.

    why dont u just use ebay and start the price at the minimum you want??
  • I have been selling clothes with Designer Desires an online only dress agency. They are fab! You send them your items, agree the price and they do the rest, taking 40% commission of the final sale price. They are also excellent to buy from as all of their products are guaranteed 100% authentic and come beautifully packaged. Give them a try designerdesires.com :A

  • thanks karms12,

    i checked out fabricjam.com or .co.uk works too ... very cool, seems much better than ebay or the one mentioned above.

    it looks like a very new website though, definitely need to spread the word!

    many thanks for all your replies and suggestions. I just have a couple of Moschino dresses gathering dust in my wardrobe and I could do with the money right now! I do sel stuff on ebay every now and then but a "10p" listing always end up to cost much more, if you take into consideration the paypal fees etc.
