Cash for clothes....

Post by Oscar Namechange »

I am astonished !!!

I have a large walk In Airing cupboard that I finally decided to turn out. I found things In there I haven't seen for 7 years...

I took a load to the tip but mentioned to a friend I was back off to the tip with another load of denims and jackets. She was horrified and told me where I could take them and get some cash.

I was a little sceptical but went down there today and came out with £40..

They pay 60 p per kilo denims and jackets bring the most money.

They weighed them and then had a good look to make sure they were not ripped or dirty.

They also take handbags, belts, and shoes.

It all goes out to poor countries.

I didn't know these places existed did you?

Right... now to Mr O's closets :wah:

I used consignment stores in the past - I took my beautiful luxury suits and was suprised with the amount I received

and then took that money & bought a luxury SUV:wah:

consignment stores are not always on the up & up I usually donate to charity.

Patsy I have no desire for a luxury SUV....I might even give the money to my charities and help them.

Snowshovel.... Shorts but no shreddies.

No... doesn't matter If It's designer... no torn Items.....

My Airing cupboard has no windows.

Yes I know where aid goes to but usually you donate It.... I didn't know they now pay you for It..... Charity shops will suffer now.

I am envisioning people from underdeveloped countries walking the streets looking like Oscar. Have these poor people not suffered enough ?

We were poor when I was a young lad and our dad got a lot of our clothes from Army surplus.

One day I went to school dressed as a Japanese General
