Used skirts in Waterloo typically sell for C$15 to C$66 (about $11 to $47). Skirts are returned more than most garments because the length is wrong, so measure waist to hem and state it in centimetres.
Selling a skirt in Waterloo
Waterloo is the university half of the twin-city region, with an engineering and computer science school that feeds the surrounding technology sector and a large insurance industry alongside it. The student population is enormous relative to the city’s size and the co-op terms mean it turns over several times a year rather than once.
Co-op terms are the defining rhythm here: students move in and out several times a year rather than annually, so desks, monitors and bikes come onto the market on a cycle measured in months. Prices drop sharply in the last week of a term.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
In the last week of a co-op term, look at the item in person if you can. A great deal changes hands very fast here at that point, and speed is exactly when the obvious check gets skipped.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Light and cheap to post, folds small. Fold along the existing seams and add tissue for pleats or satin, since a creased skirt photographs badly on arrival and prompts avoidable questions.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
