In a crisis, frugal parents are becoming more buyers shopping "second hand", or similar online stores, where they will be able to quickly and easily find the cheap and high-quality children's clothes. One such resource is the Hand-me-downs, which opened recently in the UK. It is possible to buy, sell or new or gently worn items, and to do so in a friendly family atmosphere. He organized on the same principle as the famous EBay, only the target audience is exclusively the parents, and the subject of exchange - baby things.
Unlike EBay, Hand Me Downs site has no control over and does not provide a transaction between buyer and seller. It is rather a classifieds site, where parents can place their ads on the exchange and sale of children's clothes.
The ad states the price thing, its description and photo. For advertising the site takes its commission. But more participants in the transaction have already negotiated by mail or phone for yourself.
The site is available to customers in Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington.
The list of items including clothes, toys, furniture, childcare.
Site users can also chat on the forum and post their ads on it. Despite the obvious benefits to parents with children, the resource has another distinct advantage, it gives new life to old things, save natural resources and waste. Great idea and, most importantly, timely.
