    I finally cleared out the attic and Ive alot of nice clothes (10yrs old) that are in mint condition, I dont know if Ill bother selling them privately but I'd be interested in selling the lot to a vintage store, any of them buy clothes like that or do they have their own sources?

    If your're in Dublin area, check out Siopaella in Temple Bar.

    Yep, the 90s ain't vintage!

    You could try flog them at the Dublin Flea.

    Ten years ago is 2002 :eek:

    There is a market for American/British style 1990s clothes at the moment, but nothing really for clothes from the 2000s.

    No matter what the brand/how nice you think it is/what you think its worth, the price you get for second hand clothes is extremely low. You might even have better luck bringing them to a place where they weigh the clothes and give you a price. Definitely try out Siopaella, but I've seen nice high street stuff (Ted Baker, Topshop, Karen Millen) for far less than half the retail price, so the initial seller would be getting less again.

    If you want to set the prices, set up a stall at a flea or sell online.
