Thoughts on Buying/Selling New/Used Clothes - B&M and Online ?

[Ignorant]

This is just a rough draft idea I thought I would throw out there to get some feedback. I am a college student, and live near a few decent sized universities (15k students and one with 30k students).

College students always want clothes, but don't want to spend the money for the name brand stuff that costs an arm and a leg.

I was just thinking and came up with an idea I have heard of before, but I only know of one in my area and its rough 30-40 minutes away from me. My idea is to open a B&M store that buys and sells clothing, both new and used. A surplus of the clothing could be sold at the business's online web site.

So .. for the college students out there, and all personal clothing aside (Underwear, Boxers, Swimsuits, etc.) .. What are your thoughts?

Could this be profitable, given the factors ?
College students here at 2+2 who are not ballers .. Would you ever consider buying gently used clothing?

Thanks, appreciate any feedback.

Well he asked for thoughts on used clothes.

FWIW, I believe the largest market for used clothes is in exporting to 3rd world countries...

tell those hippies to stop pinching pennies and buy some clothes instead of buying coffee 3x a day and talking about how they are getting screwed by "the man"

There is a chain of used designer clothes stores and they offer franchises. Plato's Closet
