Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted Y2K buyers), Depop (great for Y2K/skate aesthetic items), or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Measure flat lay dimensions (waist width, inseam, rise, total length) as buyers on Depop/eBay request these. Use keywords like Y2K, Skateboarding, Streetwear, Plaid Shorts, Grunge, Mall Goth. Note: Given the thrift store price tag of $7.99, profit margins after fees/shipping will be extremely slim ($3–$6 profit). Recommended to pass unless bundled or purchased on a discount day.
