Where To Buy Good Quality Secondhands?

[maple]

In the Uk I found some good bargains at the secondhand shops from time to time.

Does anyone know where to go for secondhand baby clothes in bangkok?

thanks!!!

The BAMBI group arrange a huge garage sale once or twice a year and you can get great secondhand stuff for kids, everything from clothes and toys/books through to furniture items. Check their website.

Let's share. Some of the stuff is nearly as expensive as new though, so you'd better know what the price of what you want is at Central, Robinson or other places like this.

I looked at the bambi site http://www.bambiweb.org/classifiedAds.php before our baby was born and afterwards but it is centred around Bangkok.

Some people think that like cars, their stuff doesn't depreciate ! However, you might get lucky !

I have to say that the price of baby clothes in Tesco or Big-C is very cheap and reasonable. One can pay a lot more for certain brand names but it hardly seems worth it for the couple of months or so before they become too small for the baby/child to wear. We throw very few clothes (or toys etc) away. Once they are too small for our daughter to wear they are recycled to the village where my mother-in-law is sure to find a baby or child who will benefit from the second-hand clothes. I might add that my old clothes go the same way and, even though the sizes are much larger than the average Thai (XXL), they are always put to good use.

Yeah, Tesco, BigC and Carrefour have some good stuff from as little as Bt19 and loads under Bt100. We've a mix with some relatively expensive night sleeper suits from Mothercare and Enfant (about Bt600-800) but everyday stuff is just the pure cotton from one of the supermarkets.

In the beginning we bought loads of Enfant and De Bon stuff because it was nice but some was too fiddly and some just overpriced, irrespective of whether we could afford it. Only last a while size wise anyway.
