Trying something new
I know with the unemployment,stock market, and making a dollar stretch. Why would anyone in their right mind consider starting a new business. Well call me CRAZY. But i am. Since the economy has gone in the toilet. i have noticed Second hand stores,the Goodwill and the Salvation Army stores are busier then ever. So opening a second hand store and having reasonable prices is the way to go. No matter how bad things get. we have to cloth are children. buy good used products for our homes. And like my friends say, i know longer can afford the mall. But there are times i just want to shop. Like i use to.

Re: Trying something new
Instead of being known as the "throw away society", we could become known as the "recycling society". We'd be green.

Re: Trying something new
Go go for it...I do the second hand stores myself for all my kids. I don't do shoes/sneakers, but do boots.

Re: Trying something new
Sounds like a great idea, but unless your inventory is donated to you, you may not see much profit. You've got to eat and pay your bills too.
 Everybody loves a bargain and now everbody needs a bargain ...so a store as you described should be quite popular in your community. Good luck!

Re: Trying something new
We have a shop here where you can give them your quality clothing to sell on your behalf and they take a cut. Its a good idea for evening gowns etc...
