Hindi's tips on buying second-hand clothes
1. Start small
Do not go off with exaggerated claims. If you're hoping for a Burberry coat for 15 euros, you can only be disappointed.

Take your time. And look past the stores at different times. Monday mornings are probably very different than Thursday afternoon.
