    Start by creating an account on a website like thredUP or Poshmark. Then, list the item you want to sell and include a few high-quality photos. If you're not sure what price to sell at, Google how much the item is selling for online.

    You can go to your local thrift store and get used clothes. You can find used clothes on Poshmark or Ebay too. You can also ask your family if they have clothes they don't fit into anymore.

    How do I price used articles of clothing?
    Community Answer
    It depends greatly on the venue in which you are selling. If you are selling at a consignment store, they will price the item for you. Some online stores like Thredup do so as well. On eBay, you set your own price. Look for the prices of items silimar to yours (the sold price if possible). Also consider the condition. Unless it's very popular, you're not likely to make more than 50% MSRP on a new-with-tags item, and less as the condition worsens.

    What is a good way to categorize clothing to sell?
    Community Answer
    Categorize them just as bottoms and tops at first, then break them up into smaller categories (i.e. skirts, jeans, dresses, sweaters, T-shirts etc.).
