I hope this is the right board for this enquiry (Pink or Gingham, please feel free to move if not) ... I am moving house soon and am having a major decluttering exercise ... So I'll be freecycling a number of items, donating others to charity shops, but am at a loss as to what to do with a number of decent frocks I own and know I'll never wear again. We're talking department store brands and high-end high street (Monsoon, Debut at Debenhams, House of Fraser...) and I would like to make a few quid out of them if possible ... I can't be doing with ebay because I'm an ebay newbie and don't really have time to familiarise myself with it at present! ... So was thinking of taking them to a dress agency or nearly-new shop ... Any recommendations in the Central or South London area? ... Thanks, Rzl :)

    It really would be worth you getting to grips with Ebay - the dress agencies take a high commission ... by the time you have paid it you will end up with a lot less than you could get on Ebay. Monsoon etc dresses usually go for a good price on Ebay. It really is simple when you get used to it. Sorry..cant help if you are set on the dress agency idea
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    I'm happy to leave it hear for now Rzl to see what ideas people come up with for you. If you don't get much response, we could move it later on.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Well since posting my original message I've been PM'd with a very generous offer of assistance from a fellow OldStyler with getting stuff flogged on Ebay - so I might not need the dress agencies after all :D ... Thanks, you know who you are!
