Are you searching for places to resell or consign clothing you no longer wear or need? These places often accept gently used clothing, accessories and more. All companies vary so be sure to check their rules and what they accept. Some accept handbags and home goods while others do not. I doubt someone can get "rich" doing things like this but some people do it for part-time income or even full-time.
Anytime I used these companies I averaged a few hundred dollars a month getting items at yard sales then re-selling it for extra money. the money helped a lot with gas money or extra cash to go out to eat with my friends. It is also time consuming doing it full-time so a great way to beat the blues during deployments. Plus; you are earning income!
Some people do make full-time income so keep that in mind. They put a lot of work into it by buying items super cheap then re-selling it. You do not have to do this as a business or much at all. You can just clean out your closet or go through what your children do not fit anymore. Instead of donating it to stores that will resell it at high costs and not really donate to charity...why not try selling the items first?
What does not sell for me after a long time; then I donate it. Some of these companies can donate items for you so that is a double-win. I used to immediately donate items thinking no one would want it. Often I am shocked at the items that sell super fast; it is usually something I never thought would sell.
There may be local stores in your area such as Uptown Cheapskate, Clothes Mentor, or Plato's Closet you can sell to for cash on the spot. You can have the option usually to trade in items for more store value credit. These stores tend to buy year-round but do not offer much for your items so keep that in mind. It is more for if you need cash on the spot or just do not care to make a lot from them.
It seems they are pickier on what they take as well. I have a family member who enjoys selling higher-end handbags to the local stores. Sometimes she makes hundreds of dollars each time she sells items at those type of stores. There are also stores like that for children; see if a Once Upon A Child location is close to you.
Happy re-selling!
