I've noticed it's been hard in general to sell on Poshmark and I think it's more that people feel that they're spending more money paying us vs something they can find on their own at a thrift shop or just go online to the clearance section in every store.What also doesn't help is that they have the shipping costs so even though you're charging them $12 for the item they don't want to pay the extra $6 or 7 in shipping.
I’m Chianta There are so many things unfortunately that have pretty much ruined the effects of selling on Poshmark. I should make a video on the top 10 reasons why it's not working. Not just because of their 10 to 20% take out on your purchases and the shipping cost on top of that but the fact of many videos being made here on CZcams of people purchasing things in thrift stores for 2 and $3 and as the buyer seeing that, you pretty much feel like you're being ripped off when that person will post it now for 20 and $25 or more.That kills someone's head completely in wanting to even buy on Poshmark after seeing videos like that. Pretty much it all boils down to there's a trillion women doing the same thing ending up with hundreds of the same blouse all different prices all competing against each other and ending up with close to no sales at the end of the day.Which now hurts us resellers.
Two things: I do agree that the shipping costs keep people from buying bc it takes a $12 item up to $18. I have much better luck on mercari where I have the option of free or reduced shipping for buyers. I also think too many ppl are trying to buy and resell which kills it bc you need to make a certain amount of money. I sell mostly things I just don’t wear/need anymore and I think I sell faster bc I’m more likely to accept a low offer bc I just wanna get rid of stuff vs if I had paid for it I would be stuck to a number I need in order to get a return.
Quite a lot of people don't have the time or desire to wade through millions of clothing items at thrift stores, or watch all the videos about Poshmark on youtube. That is your target customer. Encourage bundles and offer lower shipping to people who have shown interest.
Maryv its actually true lol. I've joined Poshmark to sell only. But because i know where everyone is getting their inventory I'm just like i can find that at the thrift store
I don’t resell often, so maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about...BUT...I think reselling is 90% photography because I can sell Coach all day long, everyday for $50-60 bucks or more easy. Everytime I list a coach bag on EBay, it sells within a week. I can sell certain pieces, like new without tags, or perfect condition vintage/older pieces for hundreds. BUT I spend a lot of time creating beautiful, clear, photos (and lots of them) with extremely detailed descriptions. I also only sell like new either with or without tags, maybe that’s the difference?
ur right pictures are everything I just took pics on a dingy wall .... still sold once I got a lighting kit $!!! wow major change now I'm looking for different backdrops need 1 light 1 dark for sure and I love flat lays but now it's just on a hanger and I want a fabric tripod manniquin soon $40-$50 for holiday time my 3rd year and I will be finally doing 150-300+ new items weekly and less pricing .
I definitely agree! Although some items will sell either way. It definitely takes time. I'd love to follow you on poshmark! If you're up for sharing, whats your username?
Great video-- and great advise--I would love for you to do a video telling us the 10 things that you absolutely would pick up! And especially if you could give us some idea what we should be looking for in denim and jeans--that would be super!
I use to hate jeans but now I think they’re fire! You’re on point with the list tho, please do more of these! Love the list video. Maybe do one of your top 10 heartstopers you see at the thrift!
What a good price for used jeans that are good condition? I surprised that denim doesn't do good because people can reuse it to make purses and wallets or checkbook covers, book covers etc.
Used to be CAbi on the older thinner labels - now I believe it is cabi on the newer labels (at least that is how they are showing it on their website). Take a peek on ebay and search cabi. Stands for Carol Anderson by Invitation. The clothing is sold through hostess parties. Roughly similar to Avon or Tupperware salespeople. Nice stuff. I usually do okay with it but I don't find it very often.
I would love for you to do a video on ‘measurements’. Why you don’t add them to listings and why you don’t answer questions when they are measurement related (excluding pant inseams). This is such a controversial subject and I think you’d be the best person to do the video. I hate adding them and feel if I didn’t have to, I’d get through my death pile a lot faster!!
odiecat1 I get frustrated when people don't add measurements to their listings on eBay. At least waist and length measurements for skirts and just measurement for jackets and tops. I always see something I like and send a message for the bust or waist and length measurements. Rarely get a message back which sucks because if it will fit me I will buy. If I am interested enough to send a message requesting measurements then I would definitely buy if it's my size.
Nico Vargas Thanks for telling me this. All my listings currently have measurements and I’ll continue to add them. I see so many listings without them and sellers who don’t reply when asked and it baffles me how one can be successful without them, yet so many are. Hoping she does a video on this one day.
I post measurements in all my listings but the argument I hear is that adding them gives buyers who have remorse, a way out. Buyers will alter the item to show they got a different measurement so based on that they are able to return. Not sure how I feel about that yet lol
Clothing is oversaturated. Jeans are plentiful and when you can buy them at Old Navy for $10, not worth it to thrift. Thanks for this. You confirm my suspicions about certain brands. No more Ralph Lauren for me....never unless it's vintage or a leather jacket. Actually whenever you can go to TJMaxx clearance rack and find those brand names, forget about buying them. MK, Chico's and JJill - no good for me. I have a large size Chico's that's been sitting forever and it's a great vest. I've been seeing Karl Lagerfeld and Michael Kors shoes at DSW and that's a clue that the value has decreased. No more BCBG for me. I had to donate BCBG heels after they wouldn't sell; and I auctioned off a purse at a loss. OH Boy, there are racks and racks of athletic wear at the thrifts. Coach is plentiful. It has to be leather or functional for me to buy it. Low selling value.
I sold a max Mara super cheap, I think the dress was beautiful I didn’t keep it because was low by the boob area, is not my thing, MK is staying in my Closet 4 Ever is silk, I love printed jeans and I got 3 pair of Cavalli, just 10 dls max, I did plus took 4 ever, I am agree with with you 💯 good video
I really got a lot out of this video! Along with all of your videos! I'm new to the reselling world and its great getting advice from veteran sellers, like you :). It really helps me get a rounded view of what's out there, what's trending and what's not trending. I'm still trying to find my look/brand for my closet and watching your videos really helps. The video you did on the banana republic dress was very helpful, especially since I haven't been doing this for very long. I would like to see more videos like that (current brand awareness and quality over quanity) I look forward to your next video!!!
oh my goodness thank you! I picked up like 6 pieces of printed denim for $5 each at a local consignment store, great brands and thought I was scoring big and not a single one has sold. Ive been scratching my head over it, one is even blush pink which is a great color right now, but again no movement. Glad to hear Im not the only one, and will be passing on it in the future. Loved this type of video, brand knowledge is key for us resellers. Thanks again!!
Michael Kors is a terrible investment and horrible resale value. Also very bad reputation in the fashion industry. There are many other classier brands who have better resale value where you can find them for cheaper in the grey market.
Agreed !! The quality of MK has gone waaay down. I have an MK bag from the early 2000's that was amazing quality, full-grain leather and solid sturdy brass hardware (but it's been sitting forever because the brand has gotten such a bad rep). And the stuff they've been making for the past few years is totally cheap looking and tacky.
Miranda Sevven some of their designs are tacky but in my opinion the classic plain leather totes they do are still good bags. I have three I used for work/college and they are really good quality. I only buy plain items though in colours like black, navy, dark purple and brown. Every major designer brand is worn by “tacky” people. Think of the Louis Vuitton monogram print, Gucci, Burberry etc. the less classy people tend to have the tacky stuff from that brand and the classier people have the classy pieces. The brand doesn’t wear you, you wear it. When people don’t understand that they make themselves look tacky.
If you aren’t moving some of the trendy items, find a Clothes Mentor or resale shop and usually they will pick up things like the colored jeans and the older cabi pieces. As long as they are in great condition and are in season they will pick up some of the brands your just sitting on.
I've experienced a dead stop on Michael Kors items in my closet as well. Coach too. I feel like EVERYONE sells and resells it. But don't donate items because that's money down the toilet. Even if it sits for a year, there's someone out there somewhere that will find your item and buy it ;) trust me i want to get rid of items too but I hate thinking i'm wasting money...
Kristen D. I would say don’t be afraid to hit local sales as well. Indoor yard sales, apps like letgo, etc. ppl may buy locally since the shipping costs are taken out. Good luck 😉
Love your channel, so informative! I would love it if you would do a video on how to tell the production date of an item. Is there any way to tell besides just being keyed in styles and trends? I am jumping into this as someone who hasn't followed trends in many years and this aspect is pretty daunting to me.
These are some great tips. I have been struggling with Michael Kors heels. To note, Nike is doing really well for me, specifically leggings. I have been getting margins of $15-45 or so. You are so right on jeans. I have to much inventory too ugh! Thanks for the tips. To note this is all on Poshmark. Ebay is always so confusing for me to get started.
Great video! Please do a video on brands you pick up. I see a lot of these brands when I'm thrifting and I think it's a combination of an over saturated market and brands that are not really trendy right now. People are a lot more knowledgeable of the market and a lot of people resell themselves so I think when they buy it, it has to be really on trend to make it worth not just finding yourself. At least that is how I feel when I buy online it's really got to be something I'm looking for at the best price!🌟
Agree with everything you said! Thank you for this confirmation! I've been selling on eBay for awhile; my new favs are anything Disney, cruise line, Mickey, Donald, golf shirts, duffle bags, totes. Disney is my new honey hole! Sells fast for top dollar! If you find it, grab it! Happy Selling!
Are you Posh only or do you do eBay? Because I sell those types of items every day on eBay but it's a much lower price, like $8 - $12. As the saying goes, you make it up on volume. You've got to source large quantities and list consistently. It's a grind but the stuff I get at the bins is lower quality anyway so I don't have a choice. Everybody and his brother is reselling now so you kind of have to take what you can get.
Only women's larger sizes sell. I had no problem moving sizes between 18-26+ in no particular brands. The only thing I can figure is larger women would rather shop on eBay than in department stores.
Jeannie McCap probably cuz plus sizes are soooo expensive. I worked at Charlotte Russe and that side of the store was about 10$ more than other sizes if not more
Kors wedges and some of their heels tend to be uncomfortable shoes, even though they can be very pretty. That may be the problem - women are realizing they just aren't comfortable.
I'm with you on everything except the plain Lululemon. For me, solid black Lululemon sells super well and it flies out of my store. Plain black tank tops will sell within a day or two for $35+ for me. I'm really picky about some of their other stuff though - I won't buy any wide leg pants or anything that I know is more than a few years old unless it's really sought after. But where I live I find so much athletic gear I wouldn't be able to have a store unless I sell it. Lululemon, Patagonia, Athleta, and Prana are some of my best selling brands. I stay away from plain nike and Adidas stuff too unless it's the streetwear type stuff kids are wearing now.
I will also add anything Reebok Crossfit to this. I don't pick up anything that isn't vintage Reebok, vintage Nike, or Lululemon EXCEPT for Crossfit Reebok items because they sell in less than a week. The clothes are expensive and they are usually patterned anyway, so it's never a bad deal.
Yes please talk about a denim list Bc I’m just starting out and I went to the goodwill for the first time today and I got a lot of good finds but I want to make sure I made a good decision and the prices
Elisha Percival Look at what prices the items that you have and want to sell are (or were recently) priced at and sold for. That's the key: that they actually SOLD at these prices. You can price your item at any price, but it has to SELL for you to earn any money.
I also cannot move Lululemon or denim in general on my closet! My posh friends think I’m crazy, but it just doesn’t get any attention in my closet for some reason. Thanks for all of your tips 😊
I noticed the same with Chicos and J Jill in the last year as it will sit for months unless its a basic tank which brings a small return. The other brand I use to do well with is FoxCroft but it just sits forever now. I have had surprising success with TravelSmith plus sizes!
It's really hard to really see what an item is like online. You can't really tell the sizing or how it will look. I just bought a Lauren blazer retail from them. I followed their measurements, I knew it may be a tad large but when I got it and tried it on it swallowed me. I think the labels got mixed up somehow. But luckily I can send it back. With resale, you get what you get. But if you know that something is your size and the fit, then you are fine. Man! I sure loved that blazer!
I still sell a ton of MK items....with MK.... Dooney......all leather fossil bags I start all my auctions at 0.99....Coach if all leather i will do a BIN....none of my bags sell for less than $60
1 important thing to note is this really depends on who your buyers are. Some things on Posh some sellers don't have a good time with, others will sell it quickly. I comp everything but know some things will still sit, others will shock me.
Agree on a lot of it especially athletic baiscs and j Jill. Need to purge my inventory of all that stuff. I don't find Michael Kors or authentic Coach ever. Thanks for another great video!
I work at a chain resale store, and yes LuLaRoe is now coming in every day. People are dumping it and it's not necessarily moving out of our store. We never get the black leggings - so I'm sure those are probably a good flip still. But the whole brand has taken a significant downward spiral in resale.
So many things I agree with here. I can’t get jeans or denim of any kind to move in my closet. Miss Me is the one exception and the resale value isn’t great. Same with BCBG and Coach. I would also like to add Vera Bradley and Cynthia Rowley. Cynthia Rowley sits in my closet for absolute ever! Thanks for the video!
I also think it depends on the seller. What might work for somebody somebody else might not. I got so sick of Coach. Everybody and anybody was rocking Coach.
I think what brings brands down is the flooding of fake/replica merchandise. Once a counterfeiter starts pumping out a bag at $10 - $20 the whole market for that design becomes cheapened.
This was so helpful! If you have a Brand list of stuff you list from anthro or urban Outfitters, it would be helpful. I’m never sure which brands are from those two place that sell well!
Mary Simmons easiest is check the RN #. It’s is 66170 for both of them and is also used on Free People. The Anthropologie website has a list of their current brands. It’s looooong. But discontinued labels are not listed there. Google Anthropologie brands and you’ll find it. Good luck!
You are awesome!!! I think you have a wonderful eye! I was first introduced to you thru Reezy Resells and you are tremendous! Sorry for the allergies... I suffer too!! Big hugs!!
I completely agree with all of these, and I would add to this No Buy List two other popular brands that have gone down significantly - Free People & any Anthro brand
pintrest.....has tons of repurpose jeans ..its a trending thing....if you have a lot and not selling as jeans you may want to cross post on craft and or fabric...even maybe see if you can post a pic of a bag or apron made from jeans with your listing....people are making quilts and shag rugs with them...using the pockets on a pillow as a phone holder ...tweens love it....but great for beach bag season with pockets and stuff
Elisa Goldman - Agree about crafting or repurposing the denim. I see it everywhere. Maybe learn how to make some sew-less items like beach/tote bags or braided round rugs. I imagine tweens would love to put one or two rugs in their rooms. Aside from rugs and tote bags, there are many tutorials for repurposing denim here on CZcams. Everything from vintage looking wall hangings, aprons, halter tops and even sneakers and flip flops for the more adventurous. Good luck!
Kelly Buck - I must agree, if you're not a crafter (or are), it takes quite a bit of time to make some of the items I listed. The price would have to reflect time spent as well as materials. Most people will just buy cheap knock offs from China. Sad but true. Crafting seems to be a dying art 😔
Kelly Buck - I have sold a bunch of jeans at larger sizes. Anything under a 14 doesn't move. I found a bunch in the 18-24 and up size range and they sold very quickly. I can only surmise that larger woman would rather buy from from eBay then shop in department stores.
I'm totally with you on the printed denim. I've been sitting on quite a few pairs for a while and they're about to get donated! Would also love a denim brand video to get an idea of whats worth picking up 💜
Thank you for sharing from your experience and knowledge. I did not pick up Coach or Kors either. You are so pretty--you look like a princess...from Grandma Bunny on Phoenix.
I would LOVE if you would do a brand video. I am fairly new to reselling, I just started in May. I'm getting to the point where I need to thrift for more inventory and I'm kind of clueless on which brands to look for. I picked up some AEO and Hollister at a yard in awesome condition, but they haven't moved so I'm guessing I'm looking at the wrong brands.
Vintage coach back packs sell fast and for a great profit on ebay. Some sell for $150. I sell them from $60-$100. And they sell within a few days. But i do agree with you in that Coach doesnt sell well for the most part.
How long should I keep items in my store. Things that are not selling. Also, during the x-mas holidays would you say the selling and buying slows down? Thanks for your in-put...
I am in love with printed denim as a buyer but I will only buy cheap because I know no one really likes this item. I will not haggle with a high priced denim ad when seller is absolutely clueless.
I was In TJ Maxx early one morning this week it had just opened and they were stocking items at the time. i heard the lady at the jewelry counter comment to the dressing room attendant that Michael Kors items were just sitting in the case and no one was buying them. The dressing room lady said Michael Kors was "stale" and "don't nobody want that stuff, she's kind of a loud older lady that says what she thinks....i just lol but they know whats selling and whats not
As cute as printed jeans are on the hanger, the simple fact is that they just don't look good on most women. The majority of females are pear shaped (bigger on bottom) & prints/bright colors only emphasize that. Since the market of people who can pull them off is so limited it makes sense that they wouldn't be a top seller. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these brands!
Great video...im new to reselling . just started testing the waters and ive made a couple grand in 3 months on ebay, now looking into posh bc for some reason i cant sell as much clothing on ebay. Heard poshmark is better for clothing
Well if u have a plato's closet u can take the name brand items u can't sell to them for super credit so it won't be a total waste u can get sonething else name brand to sell on posh
I've noticed it's been hard in general to sell on Poshmark and I think it's more that people feel that they're spending more money paying us vs something they can find on their own at a thrift shop or just go online to the clearance section in every store.What also doesn't help is that they have the shipping costs so even though you're charging them $12 for the item they don't want to pay the extra $6 or 7 in shipping.

K L I have a beautiful coach bag in awesome condition and gifted to me patchwork I might sell
ur right pictures are everything I just took pics on a dingy wall .... still sold once I got a lighting kit $!!! wow major change now I'm looking for different backdrops need 1 light 1 dark for sure and I love flat lays but now it's just on a hanger and I want a fabric tripod manniquin soon $40-$50 for holiday time my 3rd year and I will be finally doing 150-300+ new items weekly and less pricing .
K L what’s your name on EBay I would love to see what you’re describing here Thanks!
I definitely agree! Although some items will sell either way. It definitely takes time. I'd love to follow you on poshmark! If you're up for sharing, whats your username?

dauntie kay i agree with you about the video of the 10 things she absolutely pick up
I use to hate jeans but now I think they’re fire! You’re on point with the list tho, please do more of these! Love the list video. Maybe do one of your top 10 heartstopers you see at the thrift!
Random, but I love that gorgeous sofa or whatever it is you're sitting on. How antique/vintage fabulous.
Jeans are the slowest sale, they sit forever for me to.
Trish Woodard jeans are my number 1 seller in my closet! Lol. Anything denim sells like crazy for me.
What a good price for used jeans that are good condition? I surprised that denim doesn't do good because people can reuse it to make purses and wallets or checkbook covers, book covers etc.
I feel like pictures would help for those who have no idea on what things are but get curios like Caby
Used to be CAbi on the older thinner labels - now I believe it is cabi on the newer labels (at least that is how they are showing it on their website). Take a peek on ebay and search cabi. Stands for Carol Anderson by Invitation. The clothing is sold through hostess parties. Roughly similar to Avon or Tupperware salespeople. Nice stuff. I usually do okay with it but I don't find it very often.

I rarely buy without measurements. Sizing varies a lot by brand, and I only want to buy what fits.
I was also curious about why she doesn't have any measurements on her listings. I noticed she never replies when asked about measurements.
Clothing is oversaturated. Jeans are plentiful and when you can buy them at Old Navy for $10, not worth it to thrift. Thanks for this. You confirm my suspicions about certain brands. No more Ralph Lauren for me....never unless it's vintage or a leather jacket. Actually whenever you can go to TJMaxx clearance rack and find those brand names, forget about buying them. MK, Chico's and JJill - no good for me. I have a large size Chico's that's been sitting forever and it's a great vest. I've been seeing Karl Lagerfeld and Michael Kors shoes at DSW and that's a clue that the value has decreased.
No more BCBG for me. I had to donate BCBG heels after they wouldn't sell; and I auctioned off a purse at a loss.
OH Boy, there are racks and racks of athletic wear at the thrifts. Coach is plentiful. It has to be leather or functional for me to buy it. Low selling value.
I don’t think I will ever sell the BCBG Max Azria NWT dress in my Posh closet. It retailed for $200 and it super unique but no one even LIKED it!
Girl! Tell me about it! I have the same issue!
ME TOO! I have this BCBG MaxAzria dress and i know it’s gonna sit in my closet forever unless I lost like 50 lb
I sold a max Mara super cheap, I think the dress was beautiful I didn’t keep it because was low by the boob area, is not my thing, MK is staying in my Closet 4 Ever is silk, I love printed jeans and I got 3 pair of Cavalli, just 10 dls max, I did plus took 4 ever, I am agree with with you 💯 good video
Ebay!
Did anyone ever buy it? Lol
BCBG the quality has gone down.
Put all your Chico together and sell as a lot by size same for jjill
I really got a lot out of this video! Along with all of your videos! I'm new to the reselling world and its great getting advice from veteran sellers, like you :).

Can you please make a video about best jeans brand.
Michael Kors is a terrible investment and horrible resale value. Also very bad reputation in the fashion industry. There are many other classier brands who have better resale value where you can find them for cheaper in the grey market.

And the stuff they've been making for the past few years is totally cheap looking and tacky.
Agree MK is so ghetto, literally every person I know or see who wears it and or carries the bags or wallets is always very low class and tacky.
Miranda Sevven some of their designs are tacky but in my opinion the classic plain leather totes they do are still good bags. I have three I used for work/college and they are really good quality.

The brand doesn’t wear you, you wear it.
When people don’t understand that they make themselves look tacky.
What brands are classier, just for my own input i don’t like MK either but tempted to know
I've been really liking Kate Spade lately.
I do comps before I buy anything. If there are more listen than sold, I pass on it.
Your skin is amazing , I Am green with envy!
How true. Unfortunate hair tho. Darker, shorter, no curl beachy would be good.
If you aren’t moving some of the trendy items, find a Clothes Mentor or resale shop and usually they will pick up things like the colored jeans and the older cabi pieces. As long as they are in great condition and are in season they will pick up some of the brands your just sitting on.
I've experienced a dead stop on Michael Kors items in my closet as well. Coach too. I feel like EVERYONE sells and resells it. But don't donate items because that's money down the toilet. Even if it sits for a year, there's someone out there somewhere that will find your item and buy it ;) trust me i want to get rid of items too but I hate thinking i'm wasting money...
Kristen D. I would say don’t be afraid to hit local sales as well. Indoor yard sales, apps like letgo, etc. ppl may buy locally since the shipping costs are taken out. Good luck 😉
Love your channel, so informative! I would love it if you would do a video on how to tell the production date of an item. Is there any way to tell besides just being keyed in styles and trends? I am jumping into this as someone who hasn't followed trends in many years and this aspect is pretty daunting to me.
These are some great tips. I have been struggling with Michael Kors heels. To note, Nike is doing really well for me, specifically leggings. I have been getting margins of $15-45 or so. You are so right on jeans. I have to much inventory too ugh! Thanks for the tips. To note this is all on Poshmark. Ebay is always so confusing for me to get started.
Don't forget about vintage Coach! The classic, minimalist styles consistently do well. But yeah, the recent pre-2015 stuff was bad.
Great video! Please do a video on brands you pick up. I see a lot of these brands when I'm thrifting and I think it's a combination of an over saturated market and brands that are not really trendy right now.
People are a lot more knowledgeable of the market and a lot of people resell themselves so I think when they buy it, it has to be really on trend to make it worth not just finding yourself. At least that is how I feel when I buy online it's really got to be something I'm looking for at the best price!🌟
New here and to poshmark.. trying to learn the ropes. that "good selling brands" video would be greatly appreciated
Agree with everything you said! Thank you for this confirmation! I've been selling on eBay for awhile; my new favs are anything Disney, cruise line, Mickey, Donald, golf shirts, duffle bags, totes. Disney is my new honey hole! Sells fast for top dollar! If you find it, grab it! Happy Selling!
I have terrible luck with Chico’s. Mine have been sitting forever.
Are you Posh only or do you do eBay? Because I sell those types of items every day on eBay but it's a much lower price, like $8 - $12. As the saying goes, you make it up on volume. You've got to source large quantities and list consistently. It's a grind but the stuff I get at the bins is lower quality anyway so I don't have a choice. Everybody and his brother is reselling now so you kind of have to take what you can get.
1. Lularoe
2. Printed denim
3. Old-label Tabi
4. Michael Kors bags
5. Chico's and J. Jill
6. Michael Kors heels
7. BCBG
8. Denim older than 2015
9. Lululemon/athletic basics
10. Coach
Only women's larger sizes sell. I had no problem moving sizes between 18-26+ in no particular brands. The only thing I can figure is larger women would rather shop on eBay than in department stores.
Jeannie McCap probably cuz plus sizes are soooo expensive. I worked at Charlotte Russe and that side of the store was about 10$ more than other sizes if not more
That is so true.I mostly sell bigger sizes too. They always move,especially tops and hard to find items.
Thanks for branching out from Insta, I love your channel and have been catching up on your content. You are a rock star to so many, including me.
Kors wedges and some of their heels tend to be uncomfortable shoes, even though they can be very pretty. That may be the problem - women are realizing they just aren't comfortable.
I'm interested in a list of brand's you look for when thrifting....great video idea!
I would love a brand list! Especially if it's something I can print and take with me to the stores.
Why would you ever buy any luluroe at all? It’s scam company
Exactly
I'm with you on everything except the plain Lululemon. For me, solid black Lululemon sells super well and it flies out of my store. Plain black tank tops will sell within a day or two for $35+ for me. I'm really picky about some of their other stuff though - I won't buy any wide leg pants or anything that I know is more than a few years old unless it's really sought after. But where I live I find so much athletic gear I wouldn't be able to have a store unless I sell it. Lululemon, Patagonia, Athleta, and Prana are some of my best selling brands. I stay away from plain nike and Adidas stuff too unless it's the streetwear type stuff kids are wearing now.
I will also add anything Reebok Crossfit to this. I don't pick up anything that isn't vintage Reebok, vintage Nike, or Lululemon EXCEPT for Crossfit Reebok items because they sell in less than a week. The clothes are expensive and they are usually patterned anyway, so it's never a bad deal.
Yes please talk about a denim list Bc I’m just starting out and I went to the goodwill for the first time today and I got a lot of good finds but I want to make sure I made a good decision and the prices
Bossbabereseller Research sold comps!
Bossbabereseller what is sold comps?
Elisha Percival Look at what prices the items that you have and want to sell are (or were recently) priced at and sold for. That's the key: that they actually SOLD at these prices. You can price your item at any price, but it has to SELL for you to earn any money.
I also cannot move Lululemon or denim in general on my closet! My posh friends think I’m crazy, but it just doesn’t get any attention in my closet for some reason. Thanks for all of your tips 😊
I love your headboard or whatever that is!!!!
Amanda Ray it’s my couch 🙂
Only reply is OF COURSE ABOUT HER!! This woman doesn't talk about any thing or answer any questions unless it's about HER!
Elisha Percival LoL shut up
Elisha Percival Pretty much. 😏
I would love if you could do a brand video on all the popular brands that fall under Anthropologie. Great content...thank you for sharing.
I agree!!!!
I noticed the same with Chicos and J Jill in the last year as it will sit for months unless its a basic tank which brings a small return. The other brand I use to do well with is FoxCroft but it just sits forever now. I have had surprising success with TravelSmith plus sizes!
Wow, I am impressed by your knowledge of brands 😃
It's really hard to really see what an item is like online. You can't really tell the sizing or how it will look. I just bought a Lauren blazer retail from them. I followed their measurements, I knew it may be a tad large but when I got it and tried it on it swallowed me. I think the labels got mixed up somehow. But luckily I can send it back. With resale, you get what you get. But if you know that something is your size and the fit, then you are fine. Man! I sure loved that blazer!
So I’m a full time seller and I REALLY appreciate you making this list, super helpful!
I still sell a ton of MK items....with MK.... Dooney......all leather fossil bags I start all my auctions at 0.99....Coach if all leather i will do a BIN....none of my bags sell for less than $60
Rj Toney ww
EBay?
What do you consider a "long time" for items in your closet? In other words, what's a good resale speed?
When coach came out with the Poppy collection, I thought it was some sort of joke.
When you do that how do you see what has sold? I’m new to all of this.
on the app, you can filter by sold and compleated, there is an option at the top. on desktop you will use the left side filters.
1 important thing to note is this really depends on who your buyers are. Some things on Posh some sellers don't have a good time with, others will sell it quickly. I comp everything but know some things will still sit, others will shock me.
I’m with you. I’m trying not to pick up the ‘Bread and Butter’ pieces because they were not selling for me. My higher end items are moving way better.
A lot of young girls are super into "mom jeans" now but none of them know about Poshmark 😭
Great video. Yes, would love to see brand lists. Also, yes to more brand examples like you did for BR.
Agree on a lot of it especially athletic baiscs and j Jill. Need to purge my inventory of all that stuff. I don't find Michael Kors or authentic Coach ever.
Thanks for another great video!
Oh and I would add Free People to your list. I can't sell it no matter how current the style or tag or even new. Ugh
Agreed. I have a lot of Free People. I picked up some jeans a few weeks ago and it sold in 2 days. My other free people typically...takes forever.
Heather Porter I like Free People. Where are you selling it?
My free people sells the quickest on PM
I work at a chain resale store, and yes LuLaRoe is now coming in every day. People are dumping it and it's not necessarily moving out of our store. We never get the black leggings - so I'm sure those are probably a good flip still. But the whole brand has taken a significant downward spiral in resale.
Brand lists would be great & how can you tell what year it's from?
So many things I agree with here. I can’t get jeans or denim of any kind to move in my closet. Miss Me is the one exception and the resale value isn’t great. Same with BCBG and Coach. I would also like to add Vera Bradley and Cynthia Rowley. Cynthia Rowley sits in my closet for absolute ever! Thanks for the video!
I also think it depends on the seller. What might work for somebody somebody else might not.
I got so sick of Coach. Everybody and anybody was rocking Coach.
I think what brings brands down is the flooding of fake/replica merchandise. Once a counterfeiter starts pumping out a bag at $10 - $20 the whole market for that design becomes cheapened.
This was so helpful! If you have a Brand list of stuff you list from anthro or urban Outfitters, it would be helpful. I’m never sure which brands are from those two place that sell well!
Mary Simmons easiest is check the RN #. It’s is 66170 for both of them and is also used on Free People. The Anthropologie website has a list of their current brands. It’s looooong. But discontinued labels are not listed there. Google Anthropologie brands and you’ll find it. Good luck!
You are awesome!!! I think you have a wonderful eye! I was first introduced to you thru Reezy Resells and you are tremendous! Sorry for the allergies... I suffer too!! Big hugs!!
I completely agree with all of these, and I would add to this No Buy List two other popular brands that have gone down significantly - Free People & any Anthro brand
Very helpful this! TY! I agree! 👍🏽👌🏽👏🏾
Obviously, anything out of fashion, old fads aren't going to sell well. Edit: also market saturation is mostly due to fakes across all brands.
I have good luck selling Gloria Vanderbilt capris and jeans . Most time I find them new with tags
Super stylish video girl. Thanks for being professional. 👍
You know your stuff girl! Thanks for sharing and going into detail explaining why and why not! *Hugs*
I am thinking about getting into the business. So enjoying your video today. Extremely helpful. TY Chicky. Very professional.
Great videos, could you do a video on how you keep track of what’s listed on posh & eBay? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
What is that gorgeous tapestry behind you? I could barely listen cause I was mesmerized. Headboard? Couch?
Leggs it’s my couch 😘
I have so much money tied up in jeans. Can’t sell them for anything, no matter what style.
pintrest.....has tons of repurpose jeans ..its a trending thing....if you have a lot and not selling as jeans you may want to cross post on craft and or fabric...even maybe see if you can post a pic of a bag or apron made from jeans with your listing....people are making quilts and shag rugs with them...using the pockets on a pillow as a phone holder ...tweens love it....but great for beach bag season with pockets and stuff
Same! I have quite a few pairs of Miss Me jeans, I can't sell them to save my life. They get a lot of likes and interest - No buyers.
Elisa Goldman - Agree about crafting or repurposing the denim. I see it everywhere. Maybe learn how to make some sew-less items like beach/tote bags or braided round rugs. I imagine tweens would love to put one or two rugs in their rooms.
Aside from rugs and tote bags, there are many tutorials for repurposing denim here on CZcams. Everything from vintage looking wall hangings, aprons, halter tops and even sneakers and flip flops for the more adventurous. Good luck!
Kelly Buck - I must agree, if you're not a crafter (or are), it takes quite a bit of time to make some of the items I listed. The price would have to reflect time spent as well as materials. Most people will just buy cheap knock offs from China. Sad but true. Crafting seems to be a dying art 😔
Kelly Buck - I have sold a bunch of jeans at larger sizes. Anything under a 14 doesn't move. I found a bunch in the 18-24 and up size range and they sold very quickly. I can only surmise that larger woman would rather buy from from eBay then shop in department stores.
Totally agree with all of this! I do have a lot of luck selling jeans on eBay (none of posh) but other than that, this is dead on for me too.
New sub, thanks! I'm still learning the ropes at Poshmark.
The coach swagger bag is amazing!!! I bought one second hand and it’s my baby.
I'm totally with you on the printed denim. I've been sitting on quite a few pairs for a while and they're about to get donated! Would also love a denim brand video to get an idea of whats worth picking up 💜
Abby James Styles come back around. Hold onto them.
Bannana Republic Video was very Informative,
I give it a Thumbs Up !!!
I Agree on COACH.
Can you do a brand list on jeans and the different anthropology labels/brands
First time watcher; a friend told me to watch you. Great video!
Thank you for sharing from your experience and knowledge. I did not pick up Coach or Kors either.
You are so pretty--you look like a princess...from Grandma Bunny on Phoenix.
I would LOVE if you would do a brand video. I am fairly new to reselling, I just started in May. I'm getting to the point where I need to thrift for more inventory and I'm kind of clueless on which brands to look for. I picked up some AEO and Hollister at a yard in awesome condition, but they haven't moved so I'm guessing I'm looking at the wrong brands.
I saw your tl maxx video about the dvf dress. So I emailed 2 designers in regards to handbags I purchased form ross.
A brand list of stuff you pick up would be so helpful!
Love your videos. I'm with you on Chico's. I can't sell that for the life of me...
I would appreciate you doing videos on brand lists. Thank you for the content. Interesting.
could you do a video on the different brands you pick up for denim, please?
Vintage coach back packs sell fast and for a great profit on ebay. Some sell for $150. I sell them from $60-$100. And they sell within a few days. But i do agree with you in that Coach doesnt sell well for the most part.
How long should I keep items in my store. Things that are not selling. Also, during the x-mas holidays would you say the selling and
buying slows down? Thanks for your in-put...
I love your videos and all the information you help with.
I am in love with printed denim as a buyer but I will only buy cheap because I know no one really likes this item. I will not haggle with a high priced denim ad when seller is absolutely clueless.
I was In TJ Maxx early one morning this week it had just opened and they were stocking items at the time. i heard the lady at the jewelry counter comment to the dressing room attendant that Michael Kors items were just sitting in the case and no one was buying them. The dressing room lady said Michael Kors was "stale" and "don't nobody want that stuff, she's kind of a loud older lady that says what she thinks....i just lol but they know whats selling and whats not
never was into lulu roe or however you say it and I feel the same about Coach. I bought my 1st Coach after the new creative director steped in.
What goodwills do you go to? Those sound good lol
Your makeup is lovely! What are you wearing?
I used to work at BCBG so I have TONS listed and it never sells... I literally have power skirts for $5 just to get rid of them
As cute as printed jeans are on the hanger, the simple fact is that they just don't look good on most women. The majority of females are pear shaped (bigger on bottom) & prints/bright colors only emphasize that. Since the market of people who can pull them off is so limited it makes sense that they wouldn't be a top seller. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these brands!
Where did you purchase your couch from? It is amazing and I love the color and burnt velvet. Stunning!
Great video...im new to reselling . just started testing the waters and ive made a couple grand in 3 months on ebay, now looking into posh bc for some reason i cant sell as much clothing on ebay. Heard poshmark is better for clothing
Well if u have a plato's closet u can take the name brand items u can't sell to them for super credit so it won't be a total waste u can get sonething else name brand to sell on posh
I would love to see a video on the brands and items from those brands that you are selling!
all active wear very basic is hard sell , bras are OK racer back. but I love $10-$15 I'll buy
