Sold a thrifted jacket for 4x what I paid
One of my resolutions this year was to finally clean out my closet and sell whatever I can to make back some of the money I spent on the clothes in the first place (and then set it aside). I was home a few weeks ago and finally went through a bunch of my old clothes and sorted them into donate and sell piles, and then listed some of the sell items on Poshmark and Depop. I buy most of my clothes from thrift stores or online marketplaces like Poshmark, Depop, and ThredUp, but I had never explored selling until now.
I sold a couple of tops for less than I paid for them (to be expected), but there was one jacket that I bought at a thrift store in NYC years ago and wore only a handful of times that I decided to list for 5x more than I paid for it. I had never looked up the jacket's brand until I was making its listing; I discovered that it was originally worth hundreds when I paid just $20 for it. So I listed it for $100, never expecting someone to pay that, and then miraculously received an offer for $80 and shipped it off. It made for some good motivation to keep cleaning out my closet - and maybe some motivation for you to make a little extra cash by downsizing your wardrobe.
Do any of you sell your clothes, and if so, do you have tips/tricks or words of wisdom?
