Online second-hand clothes shop

If you are one of those people who know where to get everything and cheaply, do not be selfish with your talent. People want to look nice but most boutiques can be so expensive. At the same time, they do not have the time (and energy) to walk around looking for these clothing items,. So why not open an online second-hand clothes and shoes shop? Online because it will be cheaper in terms of rent, and also because then you will not have to employ someone to watch over your shop. You will be carrying your shop around in your phone and coordinating deliveries.
