I understand selling the odd nice bit or bundles on eBay but people trying to sell EVERY old babygro, jumper etc for 50p or £1 on social media seems odd? Why not give a bag of clothes to charity shop or to friends who have younger children? Seems greedy to me Hmm

I can't believe people aren't ashamed to ask for money for it

what a stupid post! Are you so well off yourself that you can afford to waste clothes? Are you so well off that you have never needed to work in your life? Or aren't you ashamed to ask for money for your services Grin

Its funny, because it's much cheaper to buy clothes second hand directly from someone than via a charity shop (they have overheads, rent, bills etc. to cover).

I can't believe people are so incredibly self centered they're incapable of understanding that money is really tight for some people

I’ve made good money selling bundles of my kids old clothes when I know I’m coming up to a week when things are tight. Don’t be such a fucking bitch.
