Used American Eagle clothing typically sells for $5 to $161 (about £4 to £120) depending on the piece and its condition. Branded clothing is the deepest part of any second-hand marketplace and also the most competitive, which means a listing lives or dies on two things: whether the buyer can trust the size, and whether the photographs show the wear honestly. The label size on its own tells a buyer very little, because cuts change between seasons and between the markets a brand sells into.
What American Eagle clothing sells for used
Prices are shown in US dollars, converted from pounds at £1 ≈ $1.35 (August 2026), and are approximate guide ranges rather than quotes. WishThrift shows listings in the local currency of each market.
Sizing and fit on American Eagle clothing
American Eagle prints a waist and inside leg in inches on its denim beside a fit name, and runs its Aerie line as a separate label with its own following. Everything else is US sizing on a young, relaxed block.
- The denim carries the brand second hand, sold on the fit name, the waist and the inside leg
- Aerie pieces are a distinct market and should be listed under that name rather than under the parent brand
What to check on a used American Eagle piece
Check whether the piece is Aerie or the mainline before writing the title. They sell to different buyers at different prices, and the label inside is the only thing that says which one it is.
For the checks that apply to any used clothing regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used clothing.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $83 American Eagle piece, a marketplace charging 20% takes $17, one charging 13.6% takes $11 and one charging 10% takes $8. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $83.
Listing your American Eagle clothing
- Put the brand, the garment, the size and the colour in the title in that order. That is the phrase people actually search, and a clever title costs you the match
- Bundle the pieces that will not carry a listing on their own. Several items in one size sell as a single transaction where each alone would sit

Questions
Is Aerie the same as American Eagle?
It is a sibling brand under the same owner, carrying its own range and its own second hand following. Listing an Aerie piece under the parent name buries it, because the people looking for it search the Aerie name directly.
