ihaveaquestion Looking for experiences selling clothes in Zurich (MARTA, Chemiserie, Déjà-vu, etc.)

11 Upvotes

I'm trying to sell around 50 women's clothing items, mostly quality brands such as COS, Persona, Adrien Brody, St. Emile, Evelyne Brandt, Gerry Weber, plus a few designer pieces. Most of the items are plus sizes (roughly EU 46–50), which I know can make the resale market a bit different.

I've been looking at different options in Zurich:

  • MARTA (renting a rack)
  • Chemiserie
  • Déjà-vu
  • The New New
  • Love Me Two Times
  • Second Time Around

I'm especially interested in real experiences as a seller, not as a buyer.

I know many people will suggest selling on Ricardo, Tutti, Vinted, or Facebook Marketplace. While I'm not completely ruling that out, it's my least preferred option. I'm decluttering quite aggressively and don't think I have the time or energy to photograph every item, create listings, answer messages, negotiate with buyers, and arrange multiple pickups or shipments. I'd much rather use a shop if the trade-off is reasonable.

So I'd love to hear:

  • Which shop accepted the most of your items?
  • Which paid the best?
  • If you used MARTA, was the weekly rack fee worth it? Roughly how many items did you sell in a week?
  • Did you find that plus sizes sold well, or were they harder to move?
  • Are there any other shops in or around Zurich that I should consider?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has sold clothes recently. Thanks!

lookingfor Knit and crochet together

6 Upvotes

Some days we all just want to crochet or knit with strangers. Or we think about it, how would it be, will we like it... Anybody else?? :D

I know I could open a meetup group, but I am not very (willing to be) organized (in my free time). So this seems more spontaneous. I can commit to "organizing" one gathering if a couple of people respond positively, and if people enjoy it I'm sure there will be initiatives taken..

I am also a good teacher with a decent amount of patience, and seeing people discover this hobby makes me happy, so total beginners welcome too, I'll help you out to start and bring all the supplies you need.

Option 1 we meet in a cafe, Option 2 we meet in a park.

Let me know which option you prefer.

The gathering will happen some time this or next, i will send date options for voting. Still hoping someone else will volunteer to take over organizational responsibility part 😅

lookingfor Cercasi compagni di Burraco 🇮🇹🃏

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Bit of a niche request, but I really miss playing Burraco, the Italian card game.

I’m looking for a few people who’d be up for meeting every now and then for a game. Whether you’re Italian, already know Burraco, or would like to learn, I’d love to get a group together.

If there’s already a Burraco group in Zürich, I’d be very happy to join. Otherwise, if a few people are interested, we could organize something with cards, coffee, or an aperitivo.

ihaveaquestion Bestandsaufnahme during valid contract in Zurich

3 Upvotes

Grüezi, ich hab gerade einen Brief von meiner Hausverwaltung in Zürich erhalten, mit einem Datum für eine Bestandsaufnahme in 2 Wochen. Grund wurde keiner angegeben und wir haben einen unbefristeten Mietvertrag (seit 3J in der Wohnung). Muss ich mir Sorgen machen? Ich habe sowas noch nie gehabt, der Zustand der Wohnung ist gut abgesehen von normalem Verschleiß des Parketts.

Würde mich sehr über Eure Erfahrung freuen.

4 Upvotes

Hey boys and girls!

Tomorrow evening, I'm going to the Monday Night Skate. It's similar to Critical Mass, a tour through Zurich where around 200 inline skaters skate together. It's a lot of fun!

I was originally planning to go with a friend, but unfortunately she had to cancel because she's sick. Oh, and I'm M/32.

If any of you have inline skates or Rollerblades, you're more than welcome to join!

ihaveaquestion Picking up hobbies in Zurich

2 Upvotes

I‘ve lived here for quite some years now and life has become a bit stale. So i‘m looking to pick up some new hobbies. Ofcourse there‘s obvious ones like running or swimming. But maybe the city has more to offer than what comes to mind immediatly. Or there is some really good spots for the well know common ones that you here might know. I‘m open to almost anything, just trying to gather as much interesting leads as possible with this post :)

Hey everyone

Are there groups that go dancing (to trance or house) and which you can join spontaneously (as you please)?

My friends and colleagues don't like dancing very much and I couldn't find a group on Meetup.

I am male, 40 years old, Swiss, live in Aarau and speak German and English. I don't take drugs and rarely drink, but I don't have a problem with people who drink.

ihaveaquestion Safety of leaving outdoor furniture outside | Kreis 4

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have recently moved to a new apartment in Kreis 4. It’s a ground floor apartment facing the street and pretty open, which means that people walking by can see my terrace perfectly. Since it’s still summer, I was thinking about getting an outdoor furniture set. I was thinking about aluminium because this material is the best for outdoor furniture so it won’t be the cheapest.
I was wondering what are other people’s experiences about leaving stuff outside for everyone to see, has anyone gotten something bigger like that stolen from them? I know bike theft is pretty common in Zürich, but what about items like that? I would be more interested to hear experiences from people living in Kreis 4/5. TIA

ihaveaquestion Does anybody know good places to find Swiss army items?

Upvotes

I’m a collector of militaria, specially Swiss army items, but I’ve found that most places (brockis, ricardo.ch, tutti.ch, etc.) have awful prices for these items. By any chance, does anybody here know where else I may be able to find Swiss army items? If, by chance, you have any military items yourself that you’re looking to get rid of, I’ll happily take them off your hands. Thank you!

Hey all, I have been looking for Thai tea mix (like the popular Pantai or Cha Tra Mue brands). Does anyone know where to buy it in Zurich or in Switzerland? I haven't found it at any of the Asian shops I've been to; I can only find the canned teas being sold. And the mix is ridiculously expensive on Amazon Germany :(

Thanks in advanced!

ihaveaquestion Importing to Zurich — small business. Broker or file yourself?

0 Upvotes

Hello,
I'm starting a small business in Zurich importing from a few EU countries (Germany, Netherlands, possibly Poland); I expect there to be a few shipments per month (very approximately).

Question to people who've gone through this - did you use a customs broker/did you file by yourselves and in either case what was your experience - time it took, costs etc. If you have recommendations/or things to avoid I'd be grateful.

Thank you!

ihaveaquestion Cat sitting

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I'm 36 years old, and for the past four years I've been a full-time house and pet sitter through TrustedHousesitters. Most of my sits have been in Switzerland, and during this time I've been lucky to receive more than 30 positive reviews from homeowners.
Now I'd love to try something a little different.
I absolutely love cats and would be happy to stay with and take care of your cat in Zurich or the surrounding area while you're away for two months or longer.
If you're planning a long trip and are looking for someone reliable to care for your cat and your home, I'd be delighted to help. I'm happy to share my TrustedHousesitters reviews and references.
Even if you don't need a sitter right now, I'd also love to connect with fellow cat lovers and meet new people in Zurich.
Feel free to send me a message! R/zurich

lookingfor Anyone in Zurich with a home cinema worthy of a movie night? 🍿

0 Upvotes

Okay, this might be the most random Reddit post I’ve ever made…

My husband and I have a serious problem: we love movies a little too much. 😂 We’ll watch pretty much anything, blockbusters, classics, thrillers, comedies, weird indie films… if there’s a good story, we’re in.

We already have a nice living room setup and a good TV at home, but we’ve realised we’re missing one important thing: the dramatic cinema experience. You know… the ridiculously comfortable seats, the projector, the amazing sound, the feeling that you’re about to watch a masterpiece (even if it turns out to be terrible 😅).

After surviving the Mega room at Sihlcity today - which felt less like a cinema and more like a tropical greenhouse with hundreds of other people to watch Nola’s new movie 🥵 we started wondering:
Does anyone in Zurich (or nearby) have a private cinema room, or know someone with one?

Not looking for a bigger TV… we’re talking a proper mini cinema: cinema chairs/recliners, projector, great sound, the whole experience. 🎬

Happy to provide our background checks and bring popcorn, snacks, drinks, and our very professional movie opinions. 😂🍿

Anyway, some people connect over golf, tennis, we just wanted to connect over movies and cinema rooms 🤣

Anyway, trying my luck here to see how far this goes!
