selling vintage clothes - best way?

[katanita]

Does anyone know of a good tabletop sale around here or other good way to sell a load of women's clothes? Some genuine 80s and earlier vintage, some newer items. Have enough of them that Ebay is a bit of a faff, and I could sell individually via the forum but really would rather just do it all in one sale. Have looked into car boots in the past but there don't seem to be any good ones around here, and I think a clothes specific sale might mean they would do better. Any advice very welcome!

Do you want to do a bulk sale? What season are they and sizes?

I think you should ask Allycat who posts on here occasionally, I seem to remember a swishing/swooshing?! event was organised and was successful for selling unwanted, good quality clothes in one fell swoop.

Flog them on ebay, vintage shops buy stuff like that but give you pennies for your stuff.

There is an event called "good Jumble" I think which occurred recently in Havelock walk in Forest Hill, I Believe the idea was people selling better quality used clothes.

Perhaps google it..I saw several flyers and I got the impression it was going to become a semi regular event.

I wouldn't bother with ebay unless they're designer brands.

Not true, if they are "vintage" as in from 70's and 80's, you'll do well, my brother and a friend make a living out of doing just that.

Thanks all. I found some info about Good Jumble on the forum here but no word when the next one is. Will do some more digging. I've tried ebay before for selling and for clothes it can be a bit dispiriting, it's a fair amount of work and then you rarely get more than a couple of quid profit, if that. Unless you have some really standout pieces with a good name on them. I think if you source stuff specifically for sale you'll do much better, I'm just having a clearout :)

@sammyjo, Ideally I'd either do a bulk sale for the right amount or sell them all individually at one table top sale or similar. They are a mix of proper 70s/80s vintage and some newer clothes from places like Mango and Oasis, so middling High Street stuff. Sized between 12-16.
