Cash for Clothes

Options
Sorry if this has been asked before!

My OH has a load of clothes he wants to get rid of. Can anyone recommend a good website that recycles clothes for cash?

Thank you :p

    I had a leaflet through the door recently which promised money for old clothing, but the price shown per 10 kg seemed pretty low .. clothing doesn't weight very much so you would need a lot to make up to their 10kg minimum

    If you have a digital camera, far better try ebay

    Alternatively, try advertising on Gumtree or Preloved, both of which are free to advertise. On these sites though, you give a fixed price, rather than the auction type approach. One good point, you advertise locally, so the buyer will collect from you .. no postage / parcel wrapping to worry about.

    Good luck

    clothes 4 cash are dodgy. I never got paid. Please dont send any clothes in the post you may not get paid or get your clothes back.

    Thanks thats exactly what I feared just wanted to ask if anyone had used the sites :(
  • There is a company in our city that buys clothes. If you drop it off to them, it's 50p per kg. I take my clothes that don't sell on eBay there.

    Remember that to list stuff seasonally for the best prices. So list your jumpers and that now :)

    Best looking around your town or city for one that buys I recently sold a lot (75KG) only got 30p a kg but they took everything (incl belts bags and shoes good or bad) and the cost of driving to a slightly higher paying one would have brought the return to about the same.

    The money can then be pocketed or donated to your own favourite charity that does not have shops.

    If anyone wants a recomendation of a charity (non shops and local) in Birmingham let me know by PM, making sure you specify any area that is important to you, and I will do my best.

    I can even recommend a charity that helps the homeless that takes any fabric in any quantity. (They take all our old work gloves and uniforms).
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
  • anything interesting, i would put om gumtree, or friday-ad etc..
