Have you been on a Thrift store or garage sale? Ever heard of "Pre loved"?
I heard that word and knew about it on my first year in online selling, I had seen online shops selling Pre loved stuffs or what we call "second hand" or thrifted. It's rampant here in our country and in the local market we call it "Ukay - ukay".
Have you bought one in such stores? I once, bought from an online store a pair of branded kid's clothes and hardbound books. That was my first and the second one was from a friend which I bought a pair of leather boots and a branded jacket also for kids. That was it for I only buy second hand items from persons I really know and I am very choosy and meticulous about it.
I'd been selling my own "pre loved" clothings on my shop, too..some are my kids' stuffs which are very rarely used or never been used, and having my personal friends known that I'm an online seller they will ask me to sell their personal items which they never or they are not using anymore. I really love helping them and of course it's an extra income for me, too.
In my page for Ladies I have 3 albums which are all pre loved or thrifted. I just hope I'd be able to sell them all.
Just a few tips in buying or selling second hand items:
* Make sure that what you are selling / buying are in a usable state and is still presentable.
* For buyers, specially if you bought an item from the "Ukay ukay" (or from persons you don't know personally) wash the item thoroughly and iron them first before using so you can be sure that you can't get any diseases from it.
What's your views about Thrifted / Second Hand / used / Pre loved / or Ukay ukay items? Are they worth it?
