selling used clothes, buying used clothes, buying clothes online

selling and buying used clothing is the best way to make money and spend wisely. as long as you buy from a trusted shop/person and the clothes aren't damaged no one will no they're used but you. because, let's face it, the second someone tries a shirt on at the store it's technically "used" so why pay as much as you have to in stores when it looks the same?

i sell my clothes to Plaito's Closest, simply because i don't know anywhere else to sell to. and they give me a good amount of money for what i'm selling- better than donating to Good Will at least~
i made 70$ today, selling clothes i would never wear IRL. only in South Dakota. and no one will ever see that me again, i swear it.

anyway, first you want to wash all your clothes, make sure they look as good as they can. if you see a major flaw- bring it anyway. you never know what they will or wont take. and if they don't take it at one point, bring it back in a few months. they might take it then. i just sold a pair of winter boots they didn't take early this summer, but now that winter is upon us they did take them.
and sometimes they miss a little wear and tear, so it's always good to bring it back and scam another 5-10$ into your wallet.
one of the pairs of pants i brought in was COVERED in super glue on the butt. but it wasn't visible, just hard where the glue is. they didn't notice. i got like 10$ for them. go me~

when buying clothes you want to make sure you want it. try it on. nothing will stretch or fade any more than it already looks usually. which is what makes it my favorite, you see it and it looks how it really will after you wash it. soooo good <33
but NEVER buy ANYTHING without trying it on first. it's just not worth it.

now i know what you must be thinking- "you can't try clothes on online" no, you can't, but sometimes you can't get what you want in stores. like me. i buy only online really. some things IRL but nothing much. shirts, jackets, but nothing i really like to wear.
when you buy clothes online you make sure the site is legit, how do you check for this? look at costumer feedback, most of the sites i use are suggested to me by people who have used it. so i know they're good.
if you want the sites i use just ask, i'll link you~

when you get the clothes do NOT cut the tags off. until you've tried them on and know they fit. you can return them and exchange sizes if the tags are still attached.

often times i just buy off eBay, and in the Lolita world this is a huge no-no. and i agree, defiantly do NOT buy Lolita clothes off eBay. worse than bodyline almost 100% of the time. but i buy visual kei inspired clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc off of eBay. Punk Rave is one of my favorite goth brands. and i have only ever found it on eBay. plus it's easy to find user reviews on there.

i don't really know what else to say, feel free to ask questions. i have been buying offline and from eBay since i was 11.
