The second hand is gray. But this technique straight from Denmark, which promises to sell effortlessly and faster, will restore hope to second -hand dealers and vinties.
Not a second of respite when you make the second hand. Indeed, making a living by giving a second life to sleeping clothes is not a simple thing. Admittedly, the efforts made are never in vain and the financial benefits are certain; But that requires energy and a lot of time. Secretary and vinties know this better than anyone: it takes overinvestment to hope to come out of resale. If the techniques for selling faster, more expensive and effortless are numerous in France; However, it seems that we have forgotten to look on the rest of the continent.
Our Danish neighbors have something formably effective in selling their old clothes without leaving too much energy. Rather than registering for the flea market of the city and then exhausting to prepare for D -Day; They improvise a street stand directly in front of their home. Shelves, tables and bearers thus exhibit the parts they wish to separate. These are available in self-service, without being free. The interested party can choose to pay for his purchase online via platforms such as Mobilepayor pay in cash in the mailbox provided for this purpose.
The saving of energy and time is substantial: the seller does not have to get up at dawn to arrive early on the premises of the flea market, prepare his stand, pack his clothes, load his tables and bearing in the car, transport them so far; And it spares social interactions and endless negotiations with customers. As for the regulars of Vinted, so many advantages: no need to take a picture of the clothes, to write the ad, to respond to online messages – we simply exhibit his clothes and we let them talk about themselves, as in a window. The perfect alternative for undecided fashionistas who want to clean up in their wardrobe but hesitate between selling or giving.
This concept has a very specific name: the “Honesty Shop”. If it applies perfectly to fashion, it is duplicated in a whole bunch of fields in Scandinavia: decorative objects, furniture, products from agriculture … For the most skeptical French, this sounds like a utopia: the system is entirely based on confidence – qualities in theory easy to find in the “Second happiest country in the world in 2025” (which is “Among the best places for the expected and real restitution rates of lost portfolios”); But less with us.
The question of feasibility can therefore arise, on the side of practices as well as the law. On French territory, sales on public roads require authorizations issued by the town hall of the municipality concerned.
