Used skirts in Edinburgh typically sell for £8 to £35 (about $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 Edinburgh
August brings a large temporary population that arrives with things and leaves without them, and September brings the students. Between them the autumn is reliably the best time to buy here and a slower time to sell.
The Old Town is steep, cobbled and awkward for vehicles, with restricted access on several streets, so anything heavy needs a conversation about where a van can actually stop. Trams and buses cover the rest of the city and handle small handovers fine.
Check vehicle access before agreeing to collect anything heavy from the Old Town. Several streets are restricted or effectively impassable for a van, and the nearest legal stopping point can be a long carry.
Edinburgh, in Scotland, has around 530,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edinburgh

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.
