Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari are best for this mid-tier brand. Local resale like Buffalo Exchange or Plato's Closet may take it but will offer very low buy-out prices.
Selling Tips
Steam this item before photographing! Linen looks like a 'rag' when wrinkled and won't sell for full potential. Use keywords like 'Linen Blend', 'Breathable', 'Vacation', 'Summer', and 'Safari'. Mention the texture in the description.
