There are a number of online auction sites which are around for you to bid on other people’s second hand clothing and shoes.  This can be a great way to get high quality clothing at a fraction of the price of new, and often, the items are in really good condition too!  Some people only wear items once or twice before they sell them on the auction sites. Many auctions begin at as little as 99p and allow the user to bid any amount for the clothing they want.

The best thing about auctions online is that you can set your maximum purchase price, allowing the site to bid on your behalf up to a certain point.  This allows you to get on with your day without needing to log in to the site to ensure you get the winning bid.  It is worth logging in a few minutes before the auction is due to end to check that you are winning, and to add any last minute bids should you need to.
