Hi all. I was hoping for a little knowledge or assistance please.
I have a large quantity of clothing and shoes I am wanting to sell.
Many of the shoes and boots are new and most are genuine leather (see sample photos). Many of them have also had non slip heels and tips added which is around $60 per pair.
Some of the clothing is brand new and what isn't new, is in excellent condition.

It's mostly run of the mill stuff which has wide appeal, with the odd special piece thrown in.
I estimate retail would be around $10 000.00, although of course I am not expecting anything like that.

I wonder if anyone knows of a shop that might buy outright? Or alternatively, maybe you have a friend who is thinking about setting up a new and used clothing business?

Or perhaps running a market stall to make money for Christmas.

This lot would certainly get them up and running for some time to come.


I've recently been diagnosed with a reasonably serious medical condition so I am not up to doing this myself, so any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. 😊

Thank you.

***P.S. I can't post many photos on here, but if you are genuinely interested, please email me at mariedaniel181010@yahoo.com.
