Used midi dresses in Poole typically sell for £12 to £50 (about $16 to $67). Midi dresses are returned more than almost any garment because the length is wrong, so measure shoulder to hem and put that number where buyers cannot miss it.
Selling a midi dress in Poole
Marine equipment turns over constantly in a town built around a harbour, and the affluence at the harbour end means goods are replaced rather than worn out. Holiday letting turns over furnishings seasonally.
The quay and the old town are the landmarks everyone uses, and parking there is difficult in summer and easy outside it. Chain ferry and harbour traffic can add time, so allow for it.
On marine equipment, check the trailer and the hardware as carefully as the item itself. Salt water is hard on bearings and fastenings and that is where the cost usually turns out to be.
Poole, in England, has around 151,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Poole
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

Style, fabric and size: “Floral Midi Wrap Dress, Size 12, Lined”. Length is what the word midi promises, so give the actual centimetres in the description — on different heights a midi becomes a maxi or a midi becomes a knee-length, and that is what drives returns.
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.
