This blog post will showcase 10 sales over $60 from mid January- mid February 2024 from my online reselling ventures on Poshmark, Etsy, and Marketplace. Join me as I delve into the stories behind these successful sales and share insights that could help you maximize your own selling potential.
Banana Republic Soft Satin Maxi Dress in Blush Pink – Sold for $60
Everyone may not agree, but Banana Republic items consistently perform well for me. This is likely due to the fact that in addition to being conscious of the style, condition, and material, I’m also careful to check if the item is from Banana Republic Factory (there are 3 dots on the tag) and if it’s a recent style (check the interior tag for the season and year). This soft satin maxi dress was no exception, and it was a surprise (and oh so satisfying) full price sale after receiving several low-ball offers.
Vintage Pringle of Scotland Wool Sweater – Sold for $70
Investing a little time in refurbishing this sweater paid off. It was quite pilled when I picked it up and needed a little TLC. Its classic style and high-quality material from Pringle of Scotland, a renowned luxury knitwear brand, ensured a quick sale on Etsy. I was happy to see the buyer noted its “excellent vintage” condition in their review.
Carhartt Sherpa Lined Canvas Vest – Sold for $65
Carhartt’s popularity in the current market made this vest a fast seller on Poshmark. It sold within a day of posting. Despite receiving lots of interest locally, I chose to accept an offer on Poshmark to avoid issues with the barrage of messages and flaky buyers on Marketplace.
Lululemon Softstreme Long Sleeve Half Zip Dress in Espresso – Sold for $80
Although I often pass over Lululemon items which are typically overpriced at the thrift store, this dress stood out as a recent style and a trendy colour. Research revealed it was from Fall ’23, making it a valuable find that sold quickly with a good return.
Caron Callahan Bethany Square Neck Denim Twill Jumpsuit – Sold for $80
This jumpsuit, retailing for $550, had been in my closet for too long. Despite hoping for a higher price, I accepted an offer on Poshmark to clear out inventory and still made a good profit.
Mother Tomcat Straight Leg Jeans – Sold for $119
Mother jeans are sought after for their quality and fit, but are hard to come by in my area. Their reputation for maintaining value made these jeans an easy sell at a competitive price.
Vintage Aran Merino Wool Cardigan – Sold for $90
This is another one that required some TLC in the form of de-pilling, but its soft, warm merino wool and classic Aran knit design made it a desirable fall/winter wardrobe staple. I’ve been having great luck with vintage wool sweaters on Marketplace this winter, and this one was sold locally at full price.
Vintage 60s Camel Hair Cape – Sold for $135
Made from 100% camel hair, this vintage cape is a standout piece. Its timeless style and luxurious material made it an irresistible addition to any fashion enthusiast’s collection.
Vintage Shearling Rancher Coat – Sold for $175
A local sale on Marketplace, this genuine shearling coat captured the essence of 70s western rancher fashion. Its good condition and unique style make it a timeless statement piece.
Vintage 70s Penny Lane Style Wool Coat with Fur Trim – Sold for $350
This coat, embodying the Penny Lane style of the 70s, sold within a week of listing on Etsy. This style of coat has been selling very well the last 2 winters, and this was no exception. Look for natural fibers (wool, fur, suede, leather, shearling etc.) for the best return on this iconic style.
