Sorry, We Can't Accept Everything Brought To Us. 

Thanks for Stopping By!

​

Please keep in mind that we take the risk and pay you upfront, regardless of whether your item sells or not. Since we are an alternative shop, we have limited space to keep "out-of-season" items. We hope you understand that if we reject your things, it is not personal. Sometimes we have too much inventory.

 

But Don't worry! There are many other alternatives for selling your things.

​

​

Check Out This List for Alternatives.

1. IJ HALLEN: Europe's largest flea market. This happens around every 3-4 weeks depending on the time of year. This is a great way to sell your clothes to the public directly, just rent a booth through their website or facebook page.  Tip In Advance: Many individuals try to bargain 50 cents to 1 euro for your clothing, so this is a great way for "emptying" your used clothing from your wardrobe in large amounts. https://ijhallen.nl/tips.php 

​

2. HET WERELDHUIS: They provide information and assistance to those undocumented migrants who are searching for a new life in Amsterdam. They take donations and have a supply list on their website for items they currently need. For example, they take bedding, household items, musical instruments, and electronics. http://wereldhuis.org/en/

​

3. Marktplaats: Online is a great way to sell your items. This is the Dutch type of "Craigslist" where you can post anything you want to sell and where you are located, so someone can pick it up. You can also start bids on your items, and the variety is extremely wide (for example: furniture, cars, and clothes!) https://www.marktplaats.nl/

​

4. Local Clothing Exchanges: Many times on facebook, you will see days that there are local clothing exchanges around Amsterdam.  This is a great way to have some fun with your friends and trade out your wardrobe for free. Some good friends of ours started "Swops," Where they host a day to trade your items with others in Amsterdam. 

​

5. Online: Vinted: This is just for secondhand clothing, where you can take a photograph of your item and list it at the price that you want for it. They have an app, which makes it easy to snap-and-sell!  https://www.vinted.nl/

​

6. PackMee: Easily pack your things into a box and send your useable items (clothes, shoes, kitchen items, electronics), and give it to the post office for free! They send it to the organisation who donates your clothes to companies that recycle your items. You can read more about them on their website: https://www.packmee.nl/

​
