What is used clothing?

Used goods mean any item of personal property offered for sale not as new. As for used clothing, it means the clothes have been worn by someone and in a condition that can be worn by another person. Unwanted used clothes are often donated to charities, which sort and sell them. Some of them distribute used clothes for free or at very low prices to low income people. Others sell the clothes to used clothing stores and then use the money they raise to fund their activities.
