Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms have a younger demographic that specifically seeks out the 'vintage look' of corduroy shorts.
Selling Tips
Include '70s style', 'Coastal Grandma/Grandpa', and 'Retro' in the keywords. Always include a photo of the brand/size tag and a measurement of the inseam, as 'short-shorts' are more desirable for this style.
