Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Y2K' and 'Low Rise' keywords in the title. Take a clear photo of the interior waistband lining as it is a selling point. Provide a waist measurement and rise measurement, as vintage sizing and low-rise fits can be tricky for modern buyers. Best sold in Spring/Summer months.
