Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari are best. It may also do well in a 'bring-your-own-bag' sale or at a local consignment shop like Buffalo Exchange or Plato's Closet.
Selling Tips
Steam the garment thoroughly before photographing; people buy with their eyes, and wrinkles suggest poor care. Use keywords like 'Business Casual', 'Luxury Touch', 'Performance', and 'Heathered'. List as a 'basic' staple.
