Fairly Used Clothing Business. Advise Needed Please by DaveAloomah(m): 2:48pm On Jul 08, 2016
I have started looking towards the direction of fairly used clothing business because I have observed the business is really moving. Especially with the economic situation in this country today, more people still need to dress good and have resolved to cheaper alternatives by going for fairly used clothing. I have been to yaba market and gotten info from some dealers that sell in sacks which they call bales and I have been able to get clear details and prices of the onces that are good quality. They told me there are different types but London first grade Scot or Willcox is always good. They also have alltex and euro which they say is also ok and cheaper but they gave me more guarantee on the Scot. Please those of you in the business here should help me out, which of these bales have you gotten and you know its always good? My intention is to open a small store around Ikeja where people can come buy these cloths from me. I want to have a worker and a work table with iron who will just be doing the ironing of the cloths and bringing out the beauty. Please advise me from your experience. Thank you

I don't think it will be wrong to talk here instead of email. Others in my shoes can benefit as well.

state the price given to at yaba and I will give price here in cefa and you will multiply it with the exchange rate of that day. Because cefa is not stable.

that's expensive, if you can make it to Katanguwa market, I'll advice you to check their prices too since they're closer to the border maybe things will be cheaper there...

OK I will check that out and compare prices tomorrow. But like I stated, they have cheaper ones in Yaba as well just that they all have different fames like they said. So I just gave the prices for the confirmed first grade best quality ones as they explained. I want to only deal on what I know will be very good quality.

UPDATE: I wasn't able to go down to katangua market again because someone made me understand its the same prices and that there is more of choices in katangua if you want to buy selection but as regarding bales its the same as yaba. How every I was able to get two bales at yaba today. I got one for men's office shirts at N75k and ladies cotton blouses at N65k. I must confess that they are really really nice and as its being sorted out, I have no regret at all. The man I bought it from was very honest and helpful in giving me just exactly what I wanted.

Wow!! That's a good number. Did you find tops good enough to be sold above 500 in you bale? Don't mind my too much questions, I know nothing about bales.

Actually I don't think I will sell anyone below N800. If at all I sell at N500 it will be few just to do a give away quick sale. Actually were it was opened today, people have started rushing them. I was thinking I will iron some well and sell higher but that will happen after sales today, I will know what to do with the ones left.

Am interested in this business but I have no game plan on how to sell it, except opening at my work place during break period. Am confronted with the problem of after that, what do I do with the rest? How do I get the type of bale you got as am not even based in Lag.

If you want to sell in your work place I can only advise you open it in your house then you can be carrying them small small to work and selling. It won't make sense just taking the full bale to your office. How you can get the bale as you are not in Lagos is the problem. I would have suggested helping you and sending it through waybill but you the matter of trust in Nigeria is hard. Maybe you can find out if you have someone like a relation in Lagos then I can take the person to where I got mine

Taking it little by little will make sense, I just realised what a bale of over 100 clothes will look like. Which part of Lag are you based?

I don't have anything to say to you. Because you sell bales is not enough reason to tarnish my image for no reason. Its such a pity to see that someone can just come out and rubbish another person you don't know from anywhere. Where did I mention that I sell bales? Its really not worth it exchanging words with you. You are entitled to your opinion anyway but for the records I don't sell bales so whoever you are referring to is your own headache not mine.

The cotton blouses is Scot while the office shirts are Willcox. I will have to stop here because as you can see someone is already calling me a scammer from no where. You can always go to yaba yourself and their is a popular man called Tyson, he is the one I got from. You will see a lot of people that sell bales but they all know the man Tyson. They will show you his warehouse. I think he is one of the major dealers there. I think I will leave you all with this info and face my own because you can imagine what the thing above just said.

Be careful with you deal with on this platform. This poster is posting with the same pattern as a fraudster that has been banned several times on this forum. He keeps coming with new handles. His alternate handles will soon come out praising him for successfully delivering their orders as promised so as to gain trust from others. Either that or his alternate will come and advertise cheap clothes and he will confirm that 'he' has delivered and recommend to others. Don Febby aka DorcasErahbor aka alltexrecyclers aka ohimaigentle aka Talk2SureBoss aka Lafresco aka FashionSmart aka DaveAloomah etc etc etc just take your shady business out of this forum for God's sake. You will soon meet your waterloo one day
