Lock downs, job losses and rising prices seem to be fuelling a rise in the sale of second hand clothes.It seems that Ebay sales have ridrn by 30%, and this report explains why the rise will continue. - https://luxiders.com/second-hand-market-2018/. It is slightly out of date, but the fundamentals still seem to be true. I believe that this is a new opportunity for some of us to build extra income, especially if we can link payments to Bitcoin or crypto. In view of this, I decided to build a sales site with the appearance of a forum to sell elegant clothes, and I hope to encourage membership of this forum to boost Bitcoin usage. The site is called Rag St, and this is the thread that promotes this forum - Bitcoin Talk - the original Bitcoin training and discussion forum. Let me know what you think I could add to that thread to boost the forum membership. So what do you think about the trend to buy second hand clothes? Would you consider buying or selling clothes?

Second hand clothes are not entirely a bad idea, it puts reuse into consideration as a form of recycling hence, making ng things available for the poor masses and also, generating income for a vendor. It's a market which gets it's source mainly from nations for from the equator and having series of weather conditions (summer, winter, autumn and lots more) that determines a dress code for each season hence, in stead of stocking them as waste or like seeds for the next planting season, you can just sell it off, earn some income to budget for the next season which is accompanied with it's unique design and trendy. Most of these second hand clothes finds its market in countries close to the equator with a sole or maybe two seasons being the dry and rainy season. Though, the dry season seems dominant hence, they were more of summer clothes. Therefore, if your looking for a market to offload a few seconds hand clothes and make some cash, you've got a market awaiting and a box to save your funds. A waste in one end can be useful in another. Keep the recycling and reuse going.

I'm not so interested in selling the clothes myself. I want to create a free platform, and pick up some income from the advertising.

So what do you think about the trend to buy second hand clothes? Would you consider buying or selling clothes?
I noticed myself that there is huge demand for second hand clothes a few months back. Was very surprised when my great aunt sold some of heir designer clothes via Ebay for a pretty good prices. I wasn't aware people would actually buy them. But it seems like it if the quality is a good, and they look fairly new is so much cheaper than buying them new. Unfortunately most of my clothes are nothing special, so I don't think anyone would actually pay for them. The only thing I will sell this winter is my old Ski clothes and buy some new ones.

simple cause/effect is the lack of oppertunity to do face to face sale via (UK: carboot sales / US: garage sales)
people are doing it more from home the downside is what usually costs them just £$5 for a 'pitch' now costs the £$3 an item in delivery fees's so more costly to both buyer and seller
when you can get a simple tshirt for £$2 from asda/walmart.. why would you buy secondhanda shirt for £$5 online, not knowing if it wil fit or what state it actually is in
its a gimmick to think you can 'get rich' via online trading via only a few spare second hand shirts. but sory its not a good income stream

People really interested in buying those stuffs? I wouldn't do it for sure. Probably people are selling whatever they have on ebay life platforms due to no source of income but appreciate your effort of building a free platform and interested to see how many of them are really interested in crypto community. Who knows maybe your platform will become a ebay like traffic site in the future.Good luck bro. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

You might be right. I thought it was a great idea, and had this cool name picked out. But you've listed so many negatives and they're all true! Anyway, the name was cool. EBAY.

Well if you are the sort of person who buys £2 tee-shirts, then you probably won't appreciate a well tailored shirt made from silk, linen, or sea island cotton. Car boots are active at the moment here in Hampshire btw. I don't sell there,but I have a friend who is getting rid of some of the stuff from my garages at car boots.
The sharp eyed amongst you will have read the title, and appreciate that reports are saying that second hand sales are booming. This is especially true for quality and vintage clothing I believe, I know several women who used to think nothing of spending a few hundred pounds on an outfit to go to a formal party, and sometimes they would buy two or three pairs of shoes at over £100 a time, and may never wear some of them. With the move to downsizing of housing, and moving out of city centres, there is probably a bit of wardrobe clearing going on. I wanted to tap into that market. RagSt.com was an unused domain name of mine, and "rag street" is a name that is used by several boutiques around the world, especially those selling elegant clothes for women. "Rag St" is sufficiently different to create a selling site online to exploit the association. I used the forum structure because I don't want to sell items myself, but I wanted to create a venue for sellers and owners to meet, and the sellers can sell on Rbay, Facebook or wherever they choose.

These clothes usually costs just few bucks and I don't think that Bitcoin is the best payment option for such small purchases. And I'm not interested in buying second hand clothes. Offcourse, it's possible to find good quality clothes and famous brands there. If we talk about physical stores, you have to dig among so many terrible clothes which probably wouldn't be accept by charity to find something worth attention. If we talk about online marketplaces, again it's time consuming to find something good there. Personally, I rather would buy cheap, but new clothes. And wouldn't bother to sell my clothes online. Pack it, go to post, pay for delivery. Is it worth efforts and time to get $5 in the end?

This happened in my country as the "socialist" economy was put into full motion, with the collapse of the system as everyone got poorer, the exact same things happened. But not too long after, even second hand becomes too expensive to buy. You keep your clothes until you just can't fix them anymore, THEN you go to the second hand shop. The only ones getting "new" (even fashion brands) are the new rich elite linked to those in power, those internationally defended by "socialists".
Of course you also try to repair anything you have rather than replace it. Unfortunately only the older devices can be easily repaired, those are also less efficient or parts are no longer available...
Then you'll see obtaining protein becomes difficult. You will have nice memories of those days where you could eat meat more than once per month...
One interesting effect of Corona, is that many "wealthy" countries have felt a bit of what it is life like in failed socialist/communist regimes. Corona is passing, but those of us trapped under oppression, have nowhere to look.
Try to live with only 1 dollar a month and see how well it goes. Don't worry, the socialist State provides food... to their party friends; so its not like you needed money like those decadent capitalist countries. Too bad the healthcare, education and basic services are all broken or failing so bad not even (somehow) having money will help you.
And people wonder how 20% of the population fled this country. I guess corona is helping the State feed less people.

I don't think that second hand clothes industry is going to boom. Shopping and buying clothes is something like a very important process to people. Sometimes people get emotionally attached with their clothes so it would be hard for them to sell to another people something that they have strong bonds and many times those clothes are connected with memories of their life in the past.

You understand that while yes we are in the middle of a pandemic, and with that, a recession, we can't just stop buying things because some people aren't doing well. We need to keep consuming as a society because our economy depends on it. If everyone just decided that they were going to abstain from buying 'luxury' goods then the economy would take a hit and more people would be out of their job.

I'm not suggesting that Bitcoin is used to purchase individual items, but if I send a crate of clothes to Nigeria ( say ), then Bitcoin could be a useful payment method for the whole crate load.

Let me know what you think I could add to that thread to boost the forum membership. So what do you think about the trend to buy second hand clothes? Would you consider buying or selling clothes? Where I am at (English speaking SE Asian country) there is a fair bit of small scale local sewing industry. Just an extended family and some treadle sewing machines in lots of cases. There are a lot of festival costumes, school dress codes, etc, that provide enough business to keep such a cottage industry going. Or there were until the so-called 'new normal'. Now these people are delighted to have something to do and to make enough money for a bag of rice to feed the family. Conventional logic and assumptions told me that there was no way to compete with the sweat-shops when it came to cheap clothing. It turns out that that seems to be somewhat wrong. With a little capital to buy rolls of fabric at decent rates, a product can be put out with a seemingly pretty good profit margin. The nice thing about small 'production runs' (a few hundred items) is that one can easily make adjustments to the product and try new ideas. If something sells out, do another run of it and have a couple hundred more items in a few days. Shipping finished items around the country is a hassle. What would be cool would be if enough of a particular item for a city were to be born in the city itself, some of these transportation issues would be reduced. I thought about making a 'platform' which would put capital, organization, and seamsters together. Also provide some support services (packaging material, pattern exchange, etc, etc). Sort of a 'distributed clothing system'. Clothing is not especially high-tech and it is a thing which everyone needs frequently. Probably a pretty good market actually.

I'm grateful for all of the positive comments about Rag St. It started out as an idea to utilise a domain name to match a few local sellers with potential clothing sources. It looks as if there is a much broader possibility. It is very early days for the forum, and I will have to consider how it can be expanded into a global contact service. Obviously my interest in Bitcoin will be useful, as Bitcoin overcomes the problems associated with payments.
I need to associate an image galley with the SMF software, and unfortunately Coppermine doesn't work with my installed version. Coppermine is the CMS offered in the package library/ I use Piwigo for some other sites, but I don't think that is suitable. I'll have a look through Softaculous and see if there is something in there.
I'll have a word with a few people to see if anyone wants to sell hand made clothing in England. Now may not be a good time, as Covid has shut down a lot of smaller shops, and we are coming to the end of the car boot season.

I think they fact on ground is that for those big buyers who buy second clothes in big and large quantities having to pay with BTC is not a bad idea tbh plus it will be quite easier, faster and cheaper. To convert money currently in my country is tough, the rate is high and there are no sellers of the dollars like it used to years before now. In my country Bitcoin have found retail dominance and it's a good source of getting forex

Most used-clothes seller in my country already sell online (usually advertising on FB Live though) and receive payment through it so I think if those people are familiar with crypto, they'd appreciate this platform. Second hand clothes are not entirely a bad idea, it puts reuse into consideration as a form of recycling hence, making ng things available for the poor masses and also, generating income for a vendor. It's a market which gets it's source mainly from nations for from the equator and having series of weather conditions (summer, winter, autumn and lots more) that determines a dress code for each season hence, in stead of stocking them as waste or like seeds for the next planting season, you can just sell it off, earn some income to budget for the next season which is accompanied with it's unique design and trendy. Most of these second hand clothes finds its market in countries close to the equator with a sole or maybe two seasons being the dry and rainy season. Though, the dry season seems dominant hence, they were more of summer clothes. Therefore, if your looking for a market to offload a few seconds hand clothes and make some cash, you've got a market awaiting and a box to save your funds. A waste in one end can be useful in another. Keep the recycling and reuse going.
Yup, those clothes do end up en masse here. Together with cheaper new clothes from China, they pretty much destroyed local clothes manufacturing. I think it's worthwhile digging in if looking for denim. Older denims tend to be tougher than the shit they make these days and it's possible to find some vintage in those 2nd hand stores. Personally my only problem with them are the sizes. Considering how large Westerners can get, most clothes would have to be altered.

That's right. Here in our country, the second hand clothes include designer brands. Some or maybe most of it don't look that fancy anymore but with just few alterations, it'll surely look good as new. And yes, it gives opportunity for poor masses to wear a well-known brand in a cheaper price. There are actually a lot of nice clothes in second hand stores and for me, they're the ones which possess good quality compared to newly made one's. <...> Personally my only problem with them are the sizes. Considering how large Westerners can get, most clothes would have to be altered.
Ah yes. Since they cannot really see and try the clothes personally, size could be a problem. But I guess spending a small amount for the alterations wouldn't be a problem for the buyer. It's still profitable since he was able to buy the cloth in a cheaper price and he can use it in the long run.
