Second-hand kids’ clothing in Knoxville typically sells for $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 Knoxville
Knoxville sits on the river at the gateway to the largest national park in the country by visitor numbers, with the state’s flagship university in the city and a major federal research laboratory nearby. It hosted a world’s fair whose tower still stands.
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
Check knees, elbows and cuffs, which is where children’s clothing actually wears, and look inside the collar for a name label. On anything with a zip or popper fastening, run it a few times, because that is what fails first.
Collecting it in Knoxville
