Cash for clothes

[JennaA]

We have 5 bin bags full of old clothes sitting in our spare room. Debating whether to ebay them, boot sale them or give cash for clothes a go. Ebay seems a lot of effort for not much return. Boot sales have finished now for the summer. Anyone tried cash for clothes? What's the average price for a bin bag full?

Not tried them no, but I have heard of them


If it was me, I would just put them in the clothing recycling bins you get at supermarkets

Charity shop - your payment is doing a good deed!

About two years ago I gave a massive bag of clothes, shoes etc to one of those clothes for cash places. Think I got either £16 or £19, can't recall now. It wasn't much, but easier than ebaying. Last year/earlier this year I had another clear out and ended up with another massive bag of clothes, however the company I used is no longer in existence so the bag just sits in my spare room, taking up masses of space. It's so big I can hardly move it ;D . Think I might have to split it out into 10 or so charity bags/bin liners and take it to one of the local charity shops.

Never send clothes off with the promise of money its a con.

There is a "cash for clothes" portakabin in the car park of my local Homebase and they pay 60p per kilo. Probably about £3 a bag?

Some might be but the one I used wasn't. I weighed the bag before sending it and they gave me the right amount for that weight minus a few pounds for clothes that weren't in the best condition.
