Would you use a second hand baby clothes store?

  • I'm a first time expectant mother. Yes, I would buy from a shop like this. There is actually one not too far from where I live which is quite popular. PM me if you want the details of it to look at their facebook page etc, don't want to disclose my location on a public forum :) Its great to try and find bargains on the facebook groups and ebay etc, but there's nothing quite like looking at bits and bobs in person.

    Best of luck with your venture.

    Personally no I wouldn't, mainly as kids clothes are so cheap already - Primark, Tesco, Asda etc etc. Good luck with it though x

    Good luck but the website will have to be constantly updates by deleting items and it would be very rare do you to find the same item at similar price.

    There's a community shop near me and they sell decent stuff like various stuff as well as baby stuff it's hard work as because it's cheap aloy of people want it and say they will buy it but then they don't.

    Where will you source your stock because you need it very cheap to do so

    I agree.


    Never bought any of my children's clothes second hand(other than handed down from friends and family).


    Always managed to pick up very cheap items in the sales.


    Debenhams 70% was a favourite.


    You might have more success if you can get designer labels at a good price. Chances are they will be hardly worn and in nearly new condition.
  • Off course I would, I have done that and anything happened! Just make sure to wash the clothes before and done!
  • Nowadays, the economy doesn't allow us to have luxury stuff..

    I would if it was second hand toys, as full priced baby gyms, playmats, activity tables, high chairs can be expensive. I have bought most of mine second hand so second hand equipment/toys would be ideal :):)
