Where do you get rid of clothes? Have you tried Thrift Plus?

[mummybearSW19]

I have lost a load of weight and have lots of clothes to get rid of. However the bag of clothes has been 9m and is still waiting

I considered using Vinted but seems a lot of effort to sell a dress for less than £5.

I saw an ad for Thrift+. Is it any good? The idea of someone else listing and selling my clothes, or recycling ♻️, feels very attractive right now given I have so mu ch going on at work and home!

any pros or cons of using them?

where / how do you get rid of worn adult clothes?!

AIBU
YABU - sell them yourself!!
YANBU - send them to Thrift+ (or recommend somewhere else easy for a busy working mum!)

I got under £20 from Thrift+ for two big bags of clothes and shoes that I reckon I'd have had well over £100 for if I had sold on Vinted. Things like new in the box Kurt Geiger shoes, perfect condition dresses from Karen Millen, John Lewis brand etc all listed for peanuts and most didn't sell because the photos were terrible. Bizarrely the best price I got was for a Next top that I think they sold for a tenner. By the time they take their cut it's a waste of time. I'd either use Vinted or put straight to a charity shop.

I got nothing for sending decent stuff to them - wouldn’t recommend!

I give mine to a charity shop.

I’ll sell them for you!
I’ve made nearly £2k on Vinted over the last 2 years and it’s paid for so much for me. It’s a ti y bit of effort for a lot of return. I’m currently paying for 4 days in Majorca with my Vinted dealings.

I wish someone would set up a business doing this (maybe you would want to!).

Back in the early 2000s there used to be “dress agencies” where you could take in good quality clothes for them to sell on commission. They would sell for you and give you half of the proceeds.

Oh wow. Thanks for the intel

yes I need to sell or find some one to sell for me!
