Sell Your Skirt in the US

Used skirts in the US typically sell for $11 to $47. Skirts cover an enormous range, so fabric and construction quality do far more for the price than the style does.

Selling a skirt in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Working out what yours is worth

Check the lining is intact and hangs straight

Getting it ready

Check the zip runs cleanly and whether there is a lining.

Put in the description

Style: A-line, pencil, pleated, wrap
Zip or elastic fastening, and whether it has pockets

Style, fabric and size: “A-Line Midi Skirt, Wool Blend, Size 12, 70cm Long”. Length in centimetres belongs in the title because skirt length is entirely relative to the wearer. Say whether it is lined and whether it has pockets.

Steady with lifts in spring and before the party season. Midi and A-line styles sell fastest.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $47 a buyer pays is the $47 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the US

The United States is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United States with their own page for skirts.

Common questions

Where can I sell a skirt in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

How long is it?

Give the waist-to-hem measurement in centimetres and your own height. Length mismatch causes most skirt returns.

Does a torn lining matter?

Yes, more than buyers expect. It is visible when worn and repairs are fiddly, so photograph it.

Should I give measurements?

Always. Waist and length flat, since skirt sizing varies widely between labels.
