Pre-loved (Used) items

Pre-loved is the new term given to used time and its becoming common to sell stuff like party wear or bags etc after a couple of use.

Have you ever purchased or sold anything?

If you ever bought these clothes, would you inquire why they are selling the clothes or if they are their own?

Re: Pre-loved (Used) items

Yes and Yes.

I've bought pre-loved high end luxury goods (wallets, clutches) from a reputed consignment shop in my city. I also bought a couple of saris at a pre-loved pop up shop that was held by a desi fashion blogger. I've also sold formal shalwar kameezes worn for 2 hour tops to others. No shame in that game!

Haven't bought or sold any.. yet!

I would inspect and sniff (lol) the item closely if I were the buyer. I'm assuming pre-loved goods are sold for reasons of no longer a fit, need, out of season, or quick cash.

I've seen instagrammers selling their dresses which were worn to events.

Re: Pre-loved (Used) items

Recently came across a post on a facebook group where the lady claimed that a particular page was selling pre-loved formal and semi formals. And also that those dresses belong to her sister and that page was setup by inlaws who are selling off her stuff for a low price instead of giving those back after the marriage didn't work out.

So I was wondering if you investigate or inquire where they got these things from and if they were genuinely their own.

ohh, now I see why you mentioned inquiring further..hadn't thought of that scenario! If the clothes are being sold with that story, it does seem fishy!

Re: Pre-loved (Used) items

I don't inquire because I am simply a customer looking for the next great deal :)

I've sold bags, shoes, wallets, clothes, etc. I am getting ready to put up a bunch of stuff for sale soon because I don't need it anymore.

I have bought clothes but only from reputed places/sources.

Re: Pre-loved (Used) items

How is it "PRE"-love when its used? Shouldnt it be post loved?

Can we put in Bill Clinton and Monika Lewonski in this list and discard them for good?

I know i know, its off topic again. Sorry mods
