Things to remember when you want a recycle shop to buy things from you:
- Make sure that any clothing you want to sell has been carefully laundered. Be sure to mend any tears or holes.
- Do not try to hold out for high prices. Take the attitude that you have something you do not want and wish to have someone buy it.
- If you take some thing to sell, you will almost always be asked for identification so be sure to take something with you that clearly identifies you.

Guidelines for deciding the kind of things that are unlikely to sell
- Clothing that is stained or completely worn out.
- Clothing that has gone completely out of style.
- Furniture that is damaged or has seals stuck all over it.
- Appliances that are over five years old.

Do you feel like setting out your own stuff for sale?
Many recycle stores take do business in parks and public squares so when you are taking a walk, if you drop in, you may find something really interesting. This is the fun part of recycle shops. Besides buying things, you can also sell things, by bringing xxx them in and putting a price on them. The sponsoring organization pays the store a fee and there is sometimes an annual fee to belong to the recycling organization so that you should check the situation in advance.
- How to get space to sell:
- Call the sponsoring organization and get accurate information about applying for space. When there are many people interested in having space, the decisions on who is picked are decided by lot.
- Fee for rights to use space:
- In addition to fees for space to sell, some shops/centers also ask participants to buy memberships in their organizations. It is advisable to check the situation in advance.
