:: Cheap to a good home ::

Sticky entry. Newest entries below!

With great weight loss comes even greater credit card bills. I've had to practically replace my wardrobe (yeah, I know, boo hoo) which I'm doing grudgingly as I'll need to replace it again when I lose the remaining 15kg!

I need help paying off my credit card bill. That's where I hope you come in. I've cleared out my wardrobe of things that don't fit me any more. I've then creamed off the nicest and most recent items and I'm offering them to you. Here's how it works.

I'll list the items below with a photo and as many sizing and measurement details as I can. Each item will be $10 plus postage ($10 in whatever currency you have in your country, it's just easier that way.) You email me and tell me which items you want, please don't ask in the comments. I confirm your request then you send me a money order or you can pay me through PayPal. I will not accept personal cheques and you are out of your freaking mind if you send cash in the mail. Once I have received payment, I will then post you the items.

All items are good quality, have been laundered and have no marks or damage to them. Some will be a little creased from being in storage, nothing a good iron won't fix.

I've photographed and measured them as best as I could and if you have any questions about an item, email me and ask. And yes, I do wear a lot of black.

This is not an auction, it's first in best dressed (pun intended). I'll leave this up for 2 weeks and whatever hasn't gone in that time will go to charity. As people claim items, I'll mark them as gone in the entry.

No haggling, no deals, no refunds, no returns. For $10, if it doesn't turn out to be what you wanted or expected, give it to charity. Sizing may vary with individual items, so if you're not sure, email me and ask.
