Shops that do leather exchange?

[jamm13dodger]

I vaguely remember reading about a firm that took in leathers to resell and part ex and given the numbers of us that gain or lose weight did some good business.

Googling for it turns up a couple of US based ones but can anyone tell me if there is a UK firm that still does this?

Thanks, Rob.

That goes back a quite a few years for me, there were one or two shops set up for this trade, part time opening on Saturdays and Sundays if I remember correctly.

I thought it was a great idea at the time, unfortunately they were located way down where the Engs live, so of no use to me.

Wish there were some shops relatively close by though, I would have less unusable stuff in my cupboards if I could trade in easily for some bit of kit or clothing that I would actually be able to make use of.

Maybe an angle for one or more of the charity shops to take up on, but I doubt it will happen

There's always ebay. I've sold a fair bit of used clobber there - the prices are OK if you are fanatical about providing lots of good photos and masses of measurements. And you need a good rating of course.
