When you become a seller with 2nd Hand Land you will be joining a team of like minded sellers that believe in giving the customer the best they can get. The website endeavors to give the customer as much vintage and retro as they can handle. Some of it will be cheap and chic and some of it will be designer vintage in excellent condition. Basically this site hopes to be a giant collection of vintage shops from all around the country showcasing the cheerfully cheap with the pretty & pricey and everything in between.

Sometimes you may want to get rid of some stock, that’s ok because everybody loves a bargain. Other times you may want to sell a coveted piece of fashion past to a dedicated audience that is expressly looking for just that. That’s great too because we believe that every piece has an owner somewhere out there.

The website comes equipped with a budget, size and item search. Featured items and stylists’ picks. There are no auctions just a set price with a set postage price for everyone in Australia. International post will be individually quoted.

You take detailed photographs on a dummy or model and send them into us to set up your online shop. This will be only accessible to you and once your stock is uploaded you can start selling.

When customers pay you they will be paying through Pay Pal straight into your account. We automatically deduct our fee and the customer has already paid for their postage. So all you need to do is put the garment into a satchel and post it. The website will mark that item as sold and it will stay on line for a few days before disappearing.

We will be targeting the fashion world through print and editorial like Russh, Frankie and Oyster. Offering garments to stylists to gain maximum exposure. Advertising online on ´the thousands´ and VICE.COM. We want to offer a hire service for TV and fashion professionals on the website which you can use for certain items if you want to. This would work for those mad, out there fashion pieces or perhaps a period garment. And finally we hope to have a wondering stall at key music festivals like the laneway festival.

We will be featuring a new seller every month where we interview and find out a bit about what makes you tick and why you love vintage fashion. We have a newsletter for members and a blog to celebrate all things retro cool.

2nd Hand Land is geared towards a fun vintage shopping experience, linking vintage to a wider fashion audience and bringing tons of retro and vintage to the people. We want shopping to be a delight for the buyer who loves vintage fashion.

You can keep an unlimited number of items hidden in your shop and you can set things up at your own pace. Choosing when it suits you to sell. E.g. Overcoats in winter, swimsuits in summer. You can control all this from the back end after you log in or you can ask us to do it for you.

LISTING YOUR PRODUCT

Listing your product is easy. We will do most of the work for you. We send you an excel spread sheet with all the details you need to enter. There is an example for you to follow. The most important fields are the size, condition and description. It is important that you fill these out with care so customers can buy accurately. The garment is to be matched to your garments photos.

You will need to take photos of your garment either on a mannequin or a person. Unless the item is a T-shirt it would benefit the customer to see how the garment hangs. Of course this does not apply to jewelry. Jewelry can be displayed on a form, on a model or flat. Please remember to take a few views of what you are selling and all photos must be clear photos. No fuzzy photos please. It would be great if all photos are 72dpi or "saved for web". Photos are to be 30cm x 40 cm. The photos are this big in order for the magnifying feature to work. If you don't know how to do this, don't fret. We can do it for you. Send us your photos and we will upload them on the website.
