I have a lot.... I mean a LOT of clothing to sell.
I gotta get rid of it because it is taking up the majority of my closet. However, I have no idea how to do this!
Honestly if I had a garage sale, I doubt much of it would sell. Stripper clothing, glitter boots, platform shoes, goth corsets, nom-de-plume gowns, packs of striped stockings.... are not things that most folks need!
Since most of the stuff isn't name brand (louis vuitton, chanel, gucci, whatever) consignment stores want nothing to do with me. Plus they want 50% of the profit, and that kinda makes me sad.
I have been considering selling this stuff on eBay... but I know they charge fairly high fees as well. Plus I don't know if I can learn how to sell my items effectively on eBay. Apparently there are dozens of eBay strategy books and I haven't the patience to read all of them. I'd hate to post all this stuff and then have none of it sell because I didn't use the right background color or something.
Craigslist is the most approachable option for me. I never sold anything on craigslist but I did manage to snag some nice furniture items from other sellers on there. So it's not as fancy as eBay.... but at least I'm a little familiar with the format.
My worry regarding craigslist is that I have no knowledge of the worth of any of my items. What if I list a pair of boots for $20 but somehow they are super desirable and obscure and a listing on eBay auctions would have gotten me $100. I would be devastated!
So many variables! So many convoluted scenarios! I need advice!
