ELIZA_D

hi there.........i have tons of stuff and i mean tons....mainly clothes and shoes mine ,boys and their dads..........just dont know what to do......can do both but thinking i may get more on ebay than a booter.
sorry its such a general ? did check the boards to see if its been asked in case you all groan!!!:rotfl:

Do you have any brand names in the clothes and shoes? They tend to do best. The ones that aren't branded might be worth selling as job lots. You might get more on ebay but then you have got to pack it all up, go to PO then deal with any complaints that might come in. Then theres NPB's or people wanting to pay by a method you don't accept.......the list goes on but that's a bad picture I'm painting
On car boot you have give up most of a day but once its gone its gone.

Also on ebay with the new feedback rules coming in soon its probably more trouble than its worth.

ive done some car boots and made 200/300 quid. but ive also done some where i made just the entry fee. alot of work for nowt.
ebay is so much simpler (generally).

ps. ive never done any good selling clothes at either place.

It's more hassle with ebay for me, but you get more money for your stuff as well. Most things I first try ebay and if it doesn't sell in 2-3 attempts over a period of time( I mean I don't relist something straight away if it doesn't sell but give it a month or two and then again), so what's unsold after that goes to car boot. But clothes don't go well on a car boot for me, ebay been fine, around 80% sold in general, but it's all very time consuming-taking pictures, making good descriptions, packing&posting etc.
