Second-hand kids’ clothing in Gateshead typically sells for £5 to £35 (about $7 to $47). Well-known brands hold their money because parents trust them to survive a second child, while supermarket ranges have very little resale value at any age. Outerwear and shoes carry far more than everyday tops.
Buying kids’ clothing in Gateshead
Gateshead sits across the river from its larger neighbour and holds the sculpture that has become the symbol of the whole region, along with a contemporary art gallery in a former flour mill and a concert hall on the quayside. The quayside bridges connect the two towns closely.
Bundles are heavy and cheap, so postage swallows the saving that made them worth buying at all. Collecting a boxful in one trip is what keeps the price low, and it is why this trade almost never travels far.
What to check in person
Go through a bundle piece by piece rather than accepting a count, since the bottom of a bag is where the tired items sit. Hold pale colours to the light for the food and grass marks that photographs never pick up.
Collecting it in Gateshead

The Metro and the quayside bridges make crossing between the two towns easy, so agree which side. The town climbs steeply from the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy.
