Second-hand kids’ clothing in Exeter typically sells for £5 to £35 (about $7 to $47). Age range and bundle size decide most of it, and condition decides the rest. A full bundle of one size sells faster and for more in total than the same items priced separately.
Buying kids’ clothing in Exeter
Exeter has a cathedral with the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling anywhere, a university that dominates the north of the city and a quayside on the Exe that is the centre of local outdoor life. It is the regional capital for the south-west peninsula.
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 Exeter
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The quayside and the cathedral green are the landmarks everyone uses. The city is built on a hill above the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy; the centre itself has extensive pedestrian zones.

The university is large relative to the city and clears student housing every June, which is the dominant cycle. Outdoor and water equipment moves constantly given the moors and the coast either side.
Say how many children have already worn it and whether it came from a smoke-free and pet-free home, as parents ask both every time. Remove name labels where you can, and list any brand names, which is what buyers search for. Moves in waves as each school year turns over, with a clear lift before September.
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
