you also have to consider fees and shipping prices too. i see a lot of people selling NWT items for the same price on depop or slightly less. i rather buy from a reputable seller unless the discount was worth it with all above listed included. i sold an alo jacket i got as a gift NWT for $180 and i think it was $218 on alo website and was sold out. i couldve sold for more due to being sold out but it sold fairly quickly at $180. if it was in stock id sell for less because people are always chancing that the items are truly real instead of dupes (which are illegal on depop)

U should reverse image search the items on Google. It’ll show u what other people are selling the items for

I use their suggested pricing and it works really well.

Lots of factors to consider. Brand, season, does the brand do alot of rotational discounts, etc.

There are plenty of things that even NWT don't retain their value, and you'll need to sell at 60-70% off.

Now, something like a desirable Farm Rio dress (certain styles) or equally popular brand, you can get closer to retail.

Edit - didn't realize that they weren't NWT. Yeah, you're going to have to heavily discount whatever you're selling.

Take your best items to local consignment stores. Try selling other good quality things in batches of like items on OfferUp, and if it's not worth selling, give away in Buy Nothing groups in bags.

Way too high. $10 should be for an old end table or 6 year old blender. Not a pair of jeans. If they have VERY little wear, you can do $5, but for clothes, that's as high as you should go.

Also, take the tags off, only keep the tags if you're going to return them to the store. Leaving them on and slapping a $15 sticker on there isn't going to make me purchase it, calling it a bargain. By that point, it's out of style or season.

You're having a garage sale to get rid of stuff and make enough bucks to pay for the posters, ads in the paper, the snacks you'll eat with maybe $100 profit. If your prices are high, you aint even going to get the money back on the posters and snacks.

Yep. Wayyyy too high. Sell on Poshmark or EBay if you want that kind of money. Half everything you have marked if you want it to sell, and be done with it.

Absolutely too high. Unfortunately even if they are namebrand, almost nobody will pay more than a dollar at a garage sale.

Lol. As a yard sales junkie I’d roll my eyes at these prices and leave. $2 or $3 tops for clothes. And even then you’ll be lucky to sell 1/10th of it.

I’m getting ready to have a sale that will get rid of everything. We have a lot of items that include a lot of clothes. I don’t want to keep anything or donate anything afterwards if I can keep from it. So pricing to sell is key yes I wanna make some money, but I don’t wanna have to end up storing or managing it any longer. Pants $1 - $4, all shirts that are decent .50. -$1. Vests, accessories including shoes .50. -$2. I hope you have a great sale!

I usually type in the search engine to see what everyone else is pricing it as. You can also check ebay too to get a better idea. If something is a high end brand you can usually charge more because material and quality is nicer unless it’s like an undesirable obnoxious pattern/color. Same goes for hot trendy items. Y2k is hot right now so if you have fun pieces you can price higher because theres a demand for that style.

ThredUp is an easy option. You order a bag, fill it up with your clothes and send it in. They'll take care of listing it for you. They do charge a fee per bag that they take out of the earnings.

They are very transparent about how much you'll get once the item sells.

If you don't want to do the work, either find a local consignment store or TheRealReal for designer items and ThredUp for mall brands. You usually get a $100 off code after you send in items to TheRealReal.

If you are willing to put in the work, Poshmark is not as easy as it once was but I can still sell some items on there. They might sit for a couple months before finally selling. I usually start with Poshmark, then get bored and give up and go to the above methods for the rest.

I find consignment stores to be the least amount of work. HOWEVER the payout isn't always that good. You really have to have items no more than 2-3 years old and still in style. Some cities have more vintage/eclectic consignment places too if that fits with your items better.

Another option is listing in "lots" on Facebook marketplace.

Plato’s Closet or Uptown Cheapskate.

The used clothing market is super saturated. Consider the "sunk cost fallacy" and if your time is worth the money you might make, and how much your stuff is really worth. I take my daughters stuff to a local place that is similar to Platos closet because she is a teen and has more trendy and up to date stuff. I just donate my husbands and my clothes. I have some expensive sustainable brand stuff that I will list on Poshmark or ebay if I ever decide to unload it but we don't have designer anything so...

It’s how depop works. You thrift, you take the pics, you make the description, you put the time & effort in to it. So it’s up to YOU how you price it. ��������

As long as you're pricing it fairly, it's all good. Just don't get too crazy with it- we don't want you to become a Brandy Melville girl when it comes to pricing lmao

Yes! Capitalism. The trick of the trade- it’s how the economy works ❤️ I bought a brand name top for 4 bucks and sold it for 80!

Go for it make that cash

Yes that’s totally fine. It’s what the majority of people do on depop. If it’s selling for $30-$35 then price it as such. Don’t price it low because you bought it for a cheap price. If it’s worth that much then sell it for that much :)

It depends, are the clothes still in production? If it's an out if production line and they're desirable it makes sense for for their value to stay the same or go up.

Usually thrift stores that are based around a church/ organization will not charge as much for stuff but Goodwill charges too much

Could it be a regional thing? The thrift stores in my area sell things for super cheap. I found a pretty much brand new $50 north face jacket for $3 once.

If people are ready to pay as much for second-hand clothes (which I suppose they are if the prices are what they are) , why would they lower the prices?

I'm amazed at how many people overvalue their stuff. I saw a woman selling a formal dress on Nextdoor. She had paid $500, so she wanted $375 or so -- I guess if it doesn't sell, she can either lower the price or her kids can get an expensive play dress.

Whatever its worth to you

People might also set prices high expecting offers for less

It's all about supply and demand. If a ton of people are trying to sell the same thing on marketplace, the price will go down over time. If only one appears every so often, they can probably keep the price higher and someone will bite.

Depends what it is, but generally speaking people don't understand depreciation. The moment you bring it home it loses value, regardless if you opened it or not.

So I'm not paying your near new prices, forget that.
