Good Clothing — Second-Hand Buying Guide

Good is the grade most second-hand clothing is actually sold at — roughly 65% of top price, or $4 to $525 across the category (about £3 to £390). Clearly worn, still complete and still wearable: the zip runs, every button is present, no holes. The line down to Fair is a fault, not an amount of wear.

Where the line falls

Fabric fails where it moves and rubs: cuffs, collar edges, the seam under the arm and the seat of a trouser.

For comparison, one grade up is Like New Clothing and one step down is Fair Clothing.

What to check before you buy

  • Abaya — Hang it and check the drape falls cleanly
  • Activewear Set — Stretch the fabric against the light to check opacity
  • Band T-Shirt — Check whether sleeve and hem stitching is single or double
  • Beanie — Stretch the brim and check it recovers
  • Belt — Measure from the buckle to the middle hole and state it
  • Bikini — Confirm the hygiene liner is present and state it
  • Blazer — Pinch the lapel to feel for a floating canvas layer
  • Blouse — Check the underarms in daylight
  • Bomber Jacket — Check the inner label for maker and any contract markings

Listing at the Good grade

Say roughly how many washes it has had, and shoot the fabric close enough that the pilling is visible rather than a surprise on arrival.

Shots that carry the most weight in clothing:

  • Bomber Jacket — Front on a hanger, zipped, full jacket in frame
  • Bridesmaid Dress — Full length on a hanger, front, in daylight for true colour
  • Cap — The cap from the front, showing the logo
  • Cardigan — Laid flat, front, buttoned

On a typical $264 listing, a marketplace charging 20% takes $53, one charging 13.6% takes $36 and one charging 10% takes $26. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $264. Listing is free.

Common questions

Does the zip run the whole way, and are all the buttons there?

Light pilling under the arms, a collar that has gone soft, perhaps one panel faded a shade off the rest.

What is the difference between Good and Fair clothing?

Anything falling short of Good is graded Fair Clothing.
