Selling gym leggings in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a university and finance city whose population swells enormously every August for the festival, and that single month does more to move second-hand goods here than any other part of the year. Outside it, the Old and New Town tenement stock means most people live in flats and buy furniture to fit them.
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.
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
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

Very light and cheap to post. Wash them and say so in the listing — on used activewear that is the sentence that resolves the buyer’s hesitation, and it is the difference between an enquiry and a sale.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell gym leggings in Edinburgh?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. 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.
Are they squat-proof?
Stretch the fabric and photograph the result. This is the question, and answering it with evidence sells the pair.
