Used skirts in Luton typically sell for £8 to £35 (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 Luton
Luton made hats and then cars, and now the airport is the dominant local employer along with a large distribution sector. It is a young and very diverse town on the main corridor north of the capital, and the airport shapes the rhythm of the place.
Airport shift work and a highly mobile population mean households form and dissolve frequently, and people relocating abroad clear everything at once. Luggage and travel goods move here more than in most towns.
The station and the airport are the two landmarks everyone knows and both are easy to reach. Terraced streets in the centre are narrow with permit parking, so confirm access for furniture.
On luggage, check the wheels, the telescopic handle and the zip pulls. Those are the parts airport use destroys, and all three are the ones a photograph never shows properly.
Luton, in England, has around 215,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Photograph
- Laid flat, front, whole skirt in frame
- The zip, the lining and any snag or mark
Put in the description
- Flat waist doubled, hip, and length from waistband to hem
- Zip or elastic fastening, and whether it has pockets
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.
