Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms are ideal for low-cost shipping on lightweight apparel and have a high concentration of pop-culture fans.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Retro Style', 'Graphic Tee', and 'Sci-Fi'. Take a clear photo of the graphic and the size tag. Since the thrift price is $6.99, margins are thin; consider bundling this with other movie tees to save on shipping and increase total profit.
