    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised: can't really expect cash for tatty old clothes!

    Charities can sell non-sellable clothes on in bulk to rag merchants but they probably need a lot more than you've got &/or be a business.

    Hi, what is the best method of selling clothes? I have 2 suits I am looking to sell as they no longer fit me. One hasn't been worn, the other I've had for a number of years. Both are Marks and Spencers and in excellent condition. I've put ads on Gumtree but with no success. Thanks.

    There's your answer - they are not sought after. M&S second hand has little appeal, particularly as it ages. Take them to Oxfam and get a £5 voucher for M&S when you hand in a bag. The only clothes that sell well second hand are high end and sought after brands like Seasalt.
