Did you know marketing used clothing is an increasingly common activity for earn extra money? At the same time, it is a form of savings for some families.
And if you think about it, by marketing what you no longer use, you will recover part of the money you spent on your purchases.
When the new season rolls around and it's time to tidy up the closet, you realize that you haven't worn a lot of clothes. And that at the same time, you no longer have space for the rest of your clothes, accessories, shoes and bags ... Maybe the time has come to get rid of what you no longer use and only take up space in your closet.
Encontrarás la respuesta en este post: te voy a contar how to make money selling used clothes. It is a fairly simple method that will help you make ends meet.
But why trade used clothing?
In Spain and according to data from the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU), each Spaniard gets rid of seven kilos of clothes a year. These clothes usually end up in the trash. Imagine how much money we are throwing away !!!
Obviously, when we get rid of the clothes we have several reasons, but if these clothes are in good condition, you can market them. You may find someone who needs it and is willing to pay you some money.
Mainly people are motivated to market their used clothing because:
- You need space in your closet and this is a good way to get rid of what you no longer wear, that you no longer like, that no longer fit, or that are garments from another season, but are in good condition.
- You can recoup part of your expenses, which translates into earning extra money.
- It contributes to the care of the environment, because it is recycling clothes.
And why do people buy second-hand clothes?
The main reason people buy second-hand clothes is to save money.
Interesting offers can be found. The prices for used clothing are lower than at a new clothing store and the products are in good condition.
Where to sell clothes and other objects that you no longer use?
Para comercializar lo que no usas tienes varias opciones: mercados tradicionales, tiendas itinerantes y varias páginas Web. Indudablemente, hacerlo online es lo más cómodo y cada vez es más popular.
Market new or used clothing online
As I was saying, it is increasingly common for people to sell and buy second-hand clothes on the Internet. There is a wide variety of pages where you can do it and with the advantage that you don't have to leave home.
Seguro que ya conoces las webs: Vibbo, Ebay (presta atención a las comisiones que te puedan aplicar) o Wallapop; en estos sitios web puedes market used clothing and anything else you no longer use.
But at the same time of these, there are many others that I myself did not know and I discovered when I was writing this post, then I will tell you what they are.
How do they work?
The operation is very equivalent on all used clothing sales pages.
- You create your profile on the web or in the application.
- You take some photos of what you want to market (a dress, shoes, a bag, etc.).
- You publish your post.
In some of these pages or applications you will have to pay a commission for each sale made. In others, they will take care of the collection and delivery of the product. There are also some that are intended only for luxury posts. There may be something for everyone! 😉
How to publish an ad?
In order to market your used clothing, you must publish an ad that will not leave anyone indifferent.

You don't want to get rid of your treasure… your clothes, but you want to earn extra money?
OK I understand.
Don't worry, sometimes it's hard to get rid of that cute outfit that you have there in the closet ... It also happens to me.
Of course, this is not an impediment for you to start earning extra money.
Here I propose some alternative ideas, while you assimilate the separation of your clothes 😉, and the best thing is that you can do it from the comfort of your sofa:
- Fill in Paid Surveys online. It is very easy, register in Toluna or i-Say if you are in Spain, as an example, and start answering surveys for which you will be paid. If you are in another country, I recommend that you check this list with my favorite survey pages.
- Vision commercial in exchange for money. Neobux is one of the most popular websites that pays you pennies every time you see an ad. Find other pages like this here.
- Gives tutorials and share your knowledge. You can also do it from your own home.
You can start making money from home with any of these ideas, while you decide what clothes you are going to sell 🙂
It's your turn…
As you can see, you have several options. So don't wait any longer, check your wardrobe or that of the children. Start marketing the clothes you wear and you will earn extra money without leaving home !!
And you, have you ever sold second-hand clothes? Do you know other pages or applications where you can sell used clothing? Do not hesitate to share this information with friends, family and acquaintances, it will surely help them 🙂
