Every year, thousands of you resell your Christmas gifts because they are unsuitable: an item of clothing that is too small, a boring book, etc. Obviously, it is always possible to make donations, in order to benefit people in the need. But if you want to resell your missed gift, many platforms offer quality services that can be useful to you: overview.
Vinted: a bit of everything
Even in non-holiday situations, many of you use the Vinted platform to sell your clothes. The advantage is that it is not only dedicated to clothes, many other diverse and varied objects can be sold, often at knockdown prices.
Momox for cultivation
Have you been given a book that you don’t like? What do you already have? Give it a second life instead of leaving it lying around in your library. Momox is a platform specializing in the repurchase and resale of second-hand items, mainly books, CDs, DVDs, video games, and sometimes clothing (through its Momox Fashion section). Very quickly developed across Europe, it has now become a reference for those who wish to give a second life to their property.
Events
When it comes to event tickets, you can turn to TicketSwap. It is an online platform specializing in the secure purchase and resale of tickets for events, such as concerts, festivals, shows, sporting events, and other cultural activities.
Viagogo is also a platform of the same type, with the same services.
Electro
Other classics can obviously be useful to you, for an almost unlimited series of products: the classics 2ememain.be or even Ebay.
2ememain.be is one of the most popular websites in Belgium for buying and selling second-hand items. Launched in 1999, this site provides a platform where individuals and professionals can post advertisements to sell or buy a variety of items, ranging from clothing and furniture to vehicles and electronics.
Ebay is also one of those classics that allows you to sell various goods at advantageous prices, both for the seller and for the buyer.
Physical stores
Otherwise, there are also second-hand stores in many cities. Online sales are a possible solution, but you should not hesitate to go to a nearby store, which can buy your book, or your oversized sweater, in order to share it with potential buyers.
If you prefer to make donations, this is obviously a very positive solution for those in need. In terms of clothing, many clothing bubbles are found in cities, such as “Terre” or “Little Nothings” in the Walloon and Brussels regions.
Clothing can also be donated to non-profit organizations. It is possible to find a small association near you, or turn to more well-known infrastructures such as the Red Cross and its “Vestiboutiques“, the Resto du Coeur Belgium.
