Daideron Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Just a thought...non of us seem willing to buy any second hand clothing, yet most of us are always willing and proud when we donate them to a charity!

gummibear Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Just a thought...non of us seem willing to buy any second hand clothing, yet most of us are always willing and proud when we donate them to a charity! They are getting it free and are not paying.so they can take it or leave it. I have donated many items of clothing and never once had a complaint.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Just a thought...non of us seem willing to buy any second hand clothing, yet most of us are always willing and proud when we donate them to a charity! And what's wrong with that? Most of us can afford to buy clothing. If there's something that a charity needs, some people donate clothing that they ordinarily would not wear themselves, either due to loss / gain of weight, or they just don't use them. In addition - would you rather they just stay in the cupboard? Or be sold to a thrift store who are just going to sell them on for a profit? Giving to those more needy than ourselves is not a crime. They are thankful for anything they receive, regardless of age/use/condition. We prefer new kit, because we can afford it. Why shouldn't we pass on the clothing instead of trying to sell it?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I wouldn't donate used shorts to charity. Ja, that's just sick. I mean, they come into contact with countless ball-sack & crack sessions.
Daideron Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Haha! No, I agree and it was just a thought. Yes, clothes sitting in a cupboard is a little unfair if someone can use them. If I give to charity, my thought is this, 'is this in a condition fit for me to wear?'...if not, then I do not donate it, because if it is good enough for me to wear, it should be in good enough condition for someone else to wear. Charity does not mean we can just throw our old hole riddled clothes onto people we expect to be grateful for them. In the same way as selling clothing on here, it should be in a condition that we are proud to sell it. (no skidmarks!) It was just a thought!

Nobody said anything about the clothing having to be riddled with holes before donating it.  It just so happens though, that the vast majority of us would rather not buy 2nd hand clothing. Not to say that we haven't, rather that we'd prefer not to.

TNT1 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 www.russianbrides.com? interbride.ru and rbride.com would be my choice rather. Much better selection.

mtb_Josh Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 The hub is the best place to buy shoes! I got a *brand new* pair of SIDIs for R600. I could see and smell that they had been used, at most, for one short ride. Bib shorts I will only buy if they still have the tags on, and even then I will wash them about 8 times before I use them.
