Retykle eliminates the hassles involved in traditional resale channels (photographing, listing, setting price, communicating with prospective buyers, arranging meet up or delivery) and gives you all that time back with a higher return for your sale. The other amazing part is that if you sell to another family, you have done something great by exchanging value with another family or if your item doesn't sell or isn't accepted, it will go to families in need via local charities (if you have not purchased return insurance). It's a win-win all around.
Retykle offers unbeatable prices on your favourite brands for almost new or new condition items. Average prices are 70%-90% off original retail prices. The average cost of raising a child in SG is $0.95M (with clothing accounting for approximately $0.2M of this spend). Consuming new is not only expensive but it's hard on the environment. Resale saves time, money and the planet. Retykle takes away any uncertainty you may have about buying secondhand as the quality, condition and authenticity are all checked and guaranteed.
