Should you buy used clothing?

[Edit]

No you shouldn't buy used clothing! Somebody might of puked on it or something else.. and yes it is disgusting!

You could if you're broke or something. Make sure you check the quality condition of the clothing. Even though the items may be vintage, they hafta be able to hold up to the washing machine.

So my opinion is that you shouldn't!


UNWEARABLE, so the only guys clothes you'll find at an opshop would be the virtually unworn kind. All those shirt his girlfriend bought him that he never liked. All those knitted sweaters from mum... "One man's garbage is another man's treasure" ( "I like to call it pre-loved". And, heres the thing... I think it's better for guys than for girls - because guys tend to wear clothes until they are virtually or something).


I love shopping for bargains at online auction sites. Not all are worn until they are past their "wear by" date. Some are worn once, some not at all and some worn many times so you can just pick and choose what you prefer. I always wash the clothes when I receive them ... and think about how many people may have tried on the item you bought in a store.

It's also great for items that are no longer in store and they don't re-stock it. I loved a Chinese dress from Jane Norman but didn't get a chance to buy it. Luckily I got it online and it was worn once and in perfect condition at under half the price I would've paid in store. (I've provided a web link to a site I use to find auction dresses)


But if there is a reason why you would need to buy used clothing, make sure you check the clothes for their quality condition. Especially vintage stuff, even though its worn-in, it's got to be able to hold up to washing machine.
