Branded clothing

There are tonnes of places to sell your clothing online and lots of apps that will take the pain out of doing this.

Days of photos, listing lots on eBay are gone it’s super easy now. That’s not to say you can’t do eBay as well.

Apps

Depop – allows you to sell anything with vintage items or branded items that are sold out is the most popular. You upload your image with caption information.

How much could you make – if you have desirable items as much as someone will buy fees include 10{796a95fc5444f41812b9edaab99a866ec37db0529a00763c538745befe17ebdd} of the sale plus PayPal fees.

Vinted- older target audience compared to Depop and if you can bag items which are very popular and sell out ( think royalty high street fashion purchases ) you can double your money if not more.

How much could you make- depends on the scarcity of the item but potential double the cost of the items. There are no fees for selling.

Online

eBay – one of the oldest and biggest! I have sold lots of items of clothing on eBay to all over the world. Make sure its branded and vintage to get the best prices. I sold a vintage cashmere for £50 it was top quality for its day and was in great condition. Make sure you provide lots of details – sizes, colours photographs this super important! I tried to Buy it now and auction. I tended to go with Buy it now because it made things easier to get the price I wanted but if I knew something would be desirable I went with an auction. Do your research on eBay before you list something.

End the listing on a Sunday night this is the busiest if it’s an auction format.

Facebook Marketplace – If you want to go completely FREE then the Facebook marketplace is the place to try. You will have to join a local group. It’s good for getting rid of a large collection of clothes and not great for vintage or high-end items.

Purses & Handbags and shoes

Rebelle- Designer will always be the best. So if you have a nice pair of designer heels or handbag stashed away and want to get rid then Rebelle is where you want to try. And these items tend to do the best for resale value too.

How much does it cost- Depending on the item you can get up to 80{796a95fc5444f41812b9edaab99a866ec37db0529a00763c538745befe17ebdd} of the item price.

Regular branded items try – Craigslist, eBay, Facebook groups or here is another app you could try Mercari – selling fee of 10{796a95fc5444f41812b9edaab99a866ec37db0529a00763c538745befe17ebdd} if the items sell.

Kitchen gadgets

If you are like me you have some redundant gadgets that you thought at the time yes that would be great (as my juicer used once now is the back of the pantry!)
