Do charity shops take swimwear?

    I'm doing a massive wardrobe clear-out at the moment. I have a few bikinis that I only wore a couple of times but I'm not going to wear them again anytime soon as I've no holidays planned ... do charity shops re-sell these, or will they just end up being thrown out? I hate the idea of binning them because they were pricey enough!

    My local charity shops don't take swimwear or underwear, even if they have tags.

    Can you sell them on eBay or adverts.ie?

    Maybe. I'm kinda lazy like that though! :o I'm moving house in a couple of days and want to get everything either packed or binned asap, wouldn't be bothered packing and posting them etc, if the charity shop is unlikely to use them I'll probably just end up packing them, even though I know I'll probably never wear them again. :rolleyes:

    The one I worked in did, its at the discretion of the customer if they buy it or not! It must be down to the individual store in question.

    Grand, sure I'll chuck them in the bag and hope for the best! :D They're in perfect condition. You never know, maybe some of the staff might take them even if they can't be put for sale in the shop!
