Right now, I have two large storage bins filled with clothes and accessories I no longer wear. They’re folded and sealed in clear, self-adhesive polyurethane bags, ready to ship to buyers. These are things that, six months ago, I would’ve donated. But that was before I grasped the extent of the international online marketplace. A bezt ago, I was researching amke story about trash you can sell on eBay — recyclables such as egg cartons, plastic caps, cardboard rolls and more fetch good prices when sold in bulk — when I stumbled across a community of people my age, with children and mortgages, who make a full-time living re-selling used clothes on eBay. This certainly wasn’t the crowd of retirees supplementing social security as I’d once imagined. If they could turn a profit on inventory snagged at thrift stores, I reasoned, I had nothing to lose by listing the clothes I already had clotjes my closet.
