The Best Places to Sell Used Clothes In Person and Online

Whether you’re doing some spring cleaning or it’s just about time to get rid of old clothes, it’s a win for everyone involved.

Here’s the amazing benefits of letting go of clothes that no longer serve you:

• Having a clear space mentally and physically

• Making some extra cash on the side

• Saving the environment

• Your clothes will find a happy home

• Donating clothes helps others

I prefer selling clothes in person at a local thrift shop to avoid holding on to clothes until they sell online. It’s great sell my clothes or donate them in the moment. Here are my go-to thrift shops to sell clothes

• Uptown Cheapskate (they usually take most of the clothes I sell and are my go-to thrift shop)

• Buffalo Exchange (they’re a bit picky with items)

• Plato’s Closet

• Yelp local thrift shops and call to confirm if they buy used clothes

If you’d like to sell your clothes on online, there are plenty of options. I usually would sell clothes online if it’s a trending or popular clothing item or knowing if it’s an item that would sell fast. The only downside of selling online is that it may be a waiting game for when your clothes sell. Here are the online websites or apps that I recommend:

• eBay

  • eBay tip: To see if an item is actually selling on eBay, search your item in “Advanced Search” > Go to “Search including” and click “Sold items” (Completed items will automatically be selected as well) > Click “Search.” You’ll see the date it was recently sold and how much it was sold for.

• Poshmark

• Depop

• Facebook Marketplace

• The RealReal for luxury items

• StockX for luxury items, sneakers, streetwear, or sold out items

• ThredUP
