Itโ€™s mostly clothes so itโ€™s got a reputation that itโ€™s for women but thereโ€™s some other stuff there too. You can find old crap that people get rid of when cleaning out โ€žthe garageโ€ - old Nintendo handhelds etc.

Whatโ€™s nice is that itโ€™s very well integrated with various European shipping services. The process is so easy that I know grannies trading their wardrobes. Mixed feelings about that but I guess regular pensions always required you to be thrifty where I live so at least being thrifty is a bit easier now.
