Reselling clothes & shoes on Kijiji/Craigslist/Ebay

6 replies
I noticed where I live, selling clothes and shoes is popular in my local communities Facebook buy & sell page, along with Kijiji.

Clothes are easy to change the price on because lots of them don't have an obvious price. So I'd be good at negotiating prices with people to get the cheapest I can, and then sell it for way more, and I'd keep on doing this over and over again and then I'd start to do it on ebay so I wouldn't have to meet up with people. Do you guys think this is a good idea? Will it work?

edit: what about stuffed animals and kids toys? I see them selling for around $5-$20 each, they might be somewhat easy to resell, I'd rather sell these online though unless I can make $20+ profit from one sale.

    Right now there is a show about 2 guys that go around buying cheap clothes at thrift stores and selling on ebay. That's it,,, and they're making 500-$1000 a day!

    One guy even took a picture of a shirt, set it on ebay and sold the shirt before he paid for it at the counter.
    Simple and easy if you got the time. I did something similar with cell phones and made $600 a week.

      This excites me because it seems somewhat easy to do, not boring, and will give me investment money for my future internet businesses

      Question about ebay: would my teenagers be able to use the post office here in Canada? Or will I have to do it for them? They are also interested in business and would like to do things on their own.

        I'm telling you, it's on all the other reality stations with like, American Pickers, Pawn Stars and those shows. I don't know where you're at but it's on the Pawn Stars channel.

        By the way, when I did sales, you had to have like 50 transactions before you could sell, (I think) check it out. But, I bought 50, $1 things, (Phone screen protectors) and then I was set to go.

        Also, you have to wait a certain amount of time to get paid. I can't remember how long, just that it annoyed me cause they took my money so fast, but paid out money to me when they wanted. But, they paid and I made great money hardly doing anything.

        Oh,,, eh,,

        The show is called Thrift Hunters. You might be able to check them out on Youtube and see how they do it. My girlfriend and I are thinking of doing it too. It's that easy.

    when my wife re-fits her wardrobe (often ) she will usually sell most of her old clothes on facebook .. and when I say old .. I mean worn once or twice ...you know the sort of woman I'm talking about i am sure lol ....very often for a price more than she paid.

    I often get jibes about who is the best at making money online as a result
