It’s not practical and it’s definately not money saving to have a closet filled with clothes that you no longer wear. Maybe you don’t want to throw them away, maybe you are not ready to give them up yet, despite the fact that you haven’t touched them for more than 4 years. But what if you could earn some money by getting rid of them?
1.Recycling
There are lots of stores, like H&M or Calzedonia, that accept your old clothes, underwear and swimwear and give you a discount in return, for your purchases on the store. Not bad, right?
2.Selling
I know that you are probably too bored to put them on ebay, but there are others stores and e-shops that you can sell your old clothes. Here are some of them located in Greece:
Bohbo
This store is located in the center of Athens and sells second hand clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. You get paid when your item is sold, or you get it back if it stays for far too long on the shelf.
Ippokratous 39, Kolonaki, Athens
www.refashioner.com
This e-shop specializes in retro and vintage clothing, so if you own any “mom clothes” they are the ones you need.
Swap
If you own old pieces of clothing from famous fashion brands and houses, you can earn 50% of its current value -when of course it is sold.
Laodikis 34, Glyfada
www.patari.gr
Here you can sell not just clothes, but also books, furnitures, toys, accessories and anything you can imagine.
“Mia Fora kai enan kairo – (meaning: Twice Upon a Time)
Exactly like patari, but with a physical store in Glyfada, here you can sell your old clothes, books, toys and baby equipment. You can sell on stock (as above) or in cash but with a smaller percentage of its current values.
Vassilissis Olgas 14, Glyfada
www.e-market.gr
Greek site with free ad entry, great range of items to sell and high profit percentage on the sales.
3.Remaking
Youtube is full of DIY videos to remake your old clothes, shoes and accessories. Watch, be inspired and make something that will fit more your current style and attitude. If DIY is not your thing, you can always have a dressmaker do it for you. Well, you don’t actually make money this way, but you save money from buying new things, which is pretty much the same.
