Had a big sort out last night and realised i've got a shit load of clothes which i don't need.
I'm a little resentful chucking them away or recyling them, as they cost a fair bit, when bought new.
Is it worth going down the eBay route? I've even got some bits with labels on that i've never worn. (Presents). Or is this idea stupid as i'll only get £1 an item, and not worth the hassle??
What do you lot do?

A friend of mine sold a load of her clothes on ebay and got between £1 and £10 for most except a few pairs of big name shoes and hand bags, Jimmy Choo/Louboutin etc. If you've got a lot to sell fair enough but I couldn't be arsed with the hassle of sending it all out when I might have only earned £1!
No-one in your family who'd appreciate it? I've got younger cousins who have most of my stuff.

I feel your pain Whittie, I did the same recently just after Christmas when my mrs bought me loads of new clothes.
Most of my clothes and jackets that i've had a while or just dont wear anymore I tend to give to my mates lil' brother as he's into designer brands like Bench, Addidas, etc. He appreciates it and wears them 
On the other hand I put the one's I think I can make a good amount of money which are newish on ebay (which isnt a lot)
But I remember selling a Berghaus jacket I wore once for £60 on ebay!!
