The cool thing about resale apps is that you never know what you're going to find. One day, you might see a designer coat with the tag still on it, and the next day you could discover a rad, vintage dress. Either way, customers are looking for clothes that are in generally good condition, so you should give your items a quality check before posting them online.
"Clothes can vary in condition but should have no major visible holes, rips, or stains and should not be at the end of its life in terms of wear," Kristen Gall, president of shopping rewards and cash-back company Rakuten Rewards, said.If you've ever donated clothing to the Salvation Army or a local charitable organization, you've likely washed the items beforehand, and you should also treat the clothing you're selling with the utmost respect.
"Make sure your clothes are clean and freshly laundered before sending in. Send them in the condition you would give them to your best friend!" Kesha Linder, a merchandiser for the online consignment and thrift store thredUP, said."Mend your items before you sell! Try replacing a loose button to increase their value and give them a better second life.
"I recommend taking pictures of your pieces using a consistent backdrop with good lighting. Take the extra minute to steam out any wrinkles, and always photograph imperfections like pulls, missing buttons, broken zippers, etc. so it’s clear what the condition of your piece is," Laurie Trott, head of brand at Tradesy, a designer resale company, suggested.
If you're selling a bag or other accessory, it also helps to place the item next to another to illustrate size and scale."For example, place an iPhone next to a minibag to give it spatial context," Trott said.
