"Now, one may separately question whether there is anybody in the target market, who wants these clothes but won't drop the funds to just buy them, but I can't speak to that either way;"
I think that's going to be the problem. My wife used to work for families to whom money was pretty much no object. $42 and $16 are equivalent in their mind, and equal to about $0.25 to a family on a budget. I don't see them wanting the hassle of having to remember to return clothes within 3 months when it's effectively the same % of their income to buy them.
- rapind 15y agoYeah, but then you've got all this stuff and you eventually try to unload it on someone else who just had a kid. Is it any more difficult to return clothes then it is to store them? For me, the cost of baby clothes isn't killing me, but if I crunch the numbers and this is cheaper, then I'd be convinced simply because I like the idea of re-use from both an environment and a de-cluttering angle.
- pbreit 15y agoFor many, the act of giving away clothes to another new mother is very satisfying
- gte910h 15y agoI know several people in that range as well (and apparently am getting into it myself these days): For them, getting rid of stuff is hard as well. A known "Getting rid of things" path is also good.
