Old Stock - Sportswear. Where to source it?

    I was thinking of buying older (maybe 2009/2010/2011 season) Ireland (soccer & rugby) replica gear and bringing it to markets before Christmas.

    The idea is that people won't want to pay more than €20 for a jersey, so if I can bulk buy for €10/€12 per unit I should be ok.

    Any ideas on where this gear can be sourced?

    I am thinking that every season there must be truckloads of jerseys and related sportswear which isn't sold, and I know that a lot of it goes onto 'sale' racks, but surely there must still be huge amounts unsold?!

    Cheers

    Dave

    Would suggest asking TK Maxx, looks like they do this from time to time

    Nowt yet lads.

    I'm checking Lovell Rugby and Soccer, Sports Direct and MandM Direct to see if there's anything of interest. I can see where I'd buy 6-7 pieces, but I'm not getting a worthy price - considering cost of delivery and the fact that I'd be looking for a price greater than that saught by competitors who're selling fake gear.

    My idea would be to concentrate on kids jerseys and kits, I'd hope to sell a jersey for €10 or less and a kit for €15 or less. I obviously need the trade cost to be at a decent level to allow for that.

    I've checked alibaba and aliexpress and may go down the 'non branded' route, but I actually would prefer to trade in genuine '09, '10 and '11 stock.
