my friend gave me 8 boxes of vintage clothes from his grandma over the last 4 decades - she owned a boutique in southern germany and had great taste. i’m recording the unboxing and can’t wait to give them a second life. if anyone has tips for how to make secondhand selling not suck, lmk!!

posting on the wrong platforms will age you badly, lmao—so here’s my advice:

if you’re selling mostly designer or archive pieces—> grailed / full of resellers and fashion collectors who are actually willing to pay bigger prices for good stuff

for everything else: depop, mercari, or vinted / flooded with 14-year-olds and trend-chasing teens with lower budgets, so study pinterest and both past and present it girl wardrobes if you wanna make real coin

bonus tip: make an instagram acc to tease future drops and connect with clients and your community. this is the funniest part imo and you can actually make the most profit there, since you can play with pricing and avoid fees (no middleman app taking a cut)

great takes! yeah turnover is slow on depop / vinted but it’s been a minute since i’ve sold on grailed. i like the ig idea!
