By Dorothea Garner


From the 19 century a new trade of selling used clothes emerged and has grown tremendously since its inception. The growth of technology especially the internet led to growth of businesses since they could now target a larger market without opening up new branches in different locations.

More people are now able to buy and sell anything around the world with a click of a mouse button as a result of these stores.

Such items are quite cheap compared to buying them while they are new therefore famous among those who have no problem wearing used clothes due to lack of funds or other reasons. All what matters is to cool when wearing such attire. Such stores are also a perfect avenue to learn about trends in fashion.

Some of these clothes are often given out for free or at a nominal fee to help the needy in society courtesy of different charitable institutions. People are therefore motivated to give and buy since they believe it is for a worthy course. This is the reason why there is huge demand for such clothes in Africa and Asia due to the high levels of poverty. Those who sale such goods contribute to the growth of their economy.

In addition, the shop is always open therefore increasing the likelihood of finding buyers at any time. Additionally, anyone interested can sell off their used clothes which in turn reduce the bulk of clothes in their homes.

It can be quite expensive and time consuming to visit multiple stores trying to look for clothes which suit your needs. However, this can be avoided by buying and selling second hand clothing online. Such resources can in turn be channeled for other functions.
