Q: 2nd-hand men's clothes/stuff, would you buy?

[Ebony]

I don't know where to post this. Pls move to appropriate forum, if ever.

I'm putting up a 'casual' business of selling pre-owned clothing (NOT UKAY-UKAY). I have a lot of men's stuff waiting to be sold. Stuff from my dad, uncles, friends, etc. They are all of excellent quality - mostly barely used stuff.

Question is: Would you buy pre-owned stuff?

I guess women may answer na rin, if they're buying for their husbands or what.

This is not a plug of my business. Just wondering if it's worth putting up a store for these things. Baka my efforts will be wasted lang. I think it will be cinch to sell the women's stuff but for men... :question:

Thanks for your help

For me... it depends on what clothing item...

Personally, I'd be only interested in neckties & jackets.

[BlueBimmer]

negative stuff ive heard re. 2nd hand clothing is baka patay na ang may-ari kaya binebenta ung iba...well im sure di lahat ganyan but i'd rather be sure.

depende na rin sa dating ng store mo, kung classy ok yan.

[cardo]

What kind of clothese are you targeting to sell?

BlueBimmer, hindi kaya episode sa CSI yan? hehehe. some dig up graves and sell off the "dead's" expensive clothes. the people who wore them, died because they had a reaction with the dead man clothes. somesort of chemical used when embalming or during the decomposition stage

[1D4LV]

i will. for authentic sports jerseys like NBA, NFL, etc.

[Bry]

Hmmmm.... I might kung gustong-gusto ko talaga yung item. Under the 'stuff' category, accessories/jewelry (bracelets, necklaces) and watches (tag heuer, rolex) would be a cinch to sell.

[j_avonni]

No. Marami rin akong clothes for disposal.

[Eismann]

No, ipamigay mo na lang yan bro. My old clothes usually goes to some poor relatives and farmer neighbors of my parents in the province. One time when I went there, yung nagdadala ng gatas ng kalabaw suot na yung old leather jacket ko. Ayos ang feeling.....

[nitrox]

nope, personally i cant stand to wear clothes previously worn by people i dont know. accessories, depende. yeah, i remember the CSI NY episode mentioned above :D

[Ebony]

Hmm negative responses. Maybe I won't push through anymore. Note: Buhay pa mga may-ari. LOL! And I'm a girl po, for the person who called me 'bro'.

Mostly semi-formal stuff like polo shirts, long-sleeves, and jackets. Brands include: Lacoste, RL, Marlboro Classics, etc. Half are not popular brands.

Thanks for your replies!

Comments will still be very much appreciated

[laklak]

i personally wont buy anything that has already been pre-worn, unless gustong gusto ko yung item at sa relative/kakilala ko bibilhin

[the_wildthing]

Depende sa market. Some people probably don't mind wearing second hand stuff, hence some buy at ukay-ukay. Some don't.

Ayaw ko na kasi nung bata ako ang dami kong "sambot" (hand-me-downs) kasi bunso ako.

[Ebony]

Okay, thanks for your replies.

.Sister ebony,ganda naman pala puro may mga signature pa ..
ituloy tapos mababa presyo at iyon mga never heard na brand gawin mo give away sa mga makakabili baka ubos agad iyan

[flakez]

pano yan? magtatayo ka pa ng shop or garage sale lang? kung garage sale lang ayos lang yan, wala naman mawawala. pwede mo benta na lang pag weekends kung may work ka o kaya pag wala naman kahit fulltime ka na don. pampalipas oras na din saka dagdag income. nung bumili ako dati sa ukay-ukay pinakuluan ko pa ung pants na binili ko. hehehe.

[vhenok]

Kung maganda pa naman ang quality why not. IMO, pagdating sa clothes parang asiwa ako suotin knowing may nagsuot na nun. Pero oks lan kung mga add-ons lang like jackets, hats, ties, etc. Pagdating naman sa ibang stuff like mga tipong pang-collectors, i wouldn't mind buying!

Good luck po Ma'm Ebony on this venture!

Ebony,

Most of the people here are from Class A to B but your market will be C-D kaya pwede yang business na gusto mo.

Medyo mali yung environment na tinatanungan mo kaya medyo negative feedbacks ang makukuha mo.

Base on your reserach kailangan dun ka sa lower class.

Hope this help, malakas yang business na yan pang masa kasi.
