Making Money Off of Your Old Clothes

I was going through my closet after more than a year had gone by since the last time I put aside some clothes for charity. This time, when I encountered something I no longer wished to wear I didn’t immediately put it aside to donate as usual—a different thought came to mind. I sat there, long sleeved purple Polo collared shirt I no longer wore in hand: consignment. So maybe I don’t wear this grey J.Crew cardigan anymore, but someone would! I could even make a couple bucks off of it! 

You can use services like “RodeoDriveResale.com” to advertise high quality clothing you no longer wear. You don’t even have to drive over to a store and drop it off. Since everything is done electronically, you can hold on to your items until they’re sold. By selling online, your client base is much larger and unaffected by how well your local economy is doing. Consignment is a good alternative to ebay because the consignment stores are experts at pricing your products. Instead of pricing based on what you personally see others doing, a consignment store will put a fair price on your clothes. 

So clean out your closet! You’d be surprised to see how much clothing you can actually salvage for a good price.
