Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari are the best venues for contemporary designer brands like Tory Burch.
Selling Tips
Take a clear close-up of the cracked stone to avoid returns. Use keywords like 'Boho Luxe', 'Cocktail', 'Statement Piece', and 'Southwestern Embellishment'. Lint-roll thoroughly before shooting photos. Shipping in a padded box is recommended to protect the remaining stones.
