Second-hand clothing in St Louis typically sells for $5 to $810. Whether a piece is currently in fashion swings the figure more than quality does, which is why last season’s high-street stock falls away so fast. Genuine vintage escapes that entirely and is priced on rarity and condition instead.
Buying clothing in St Louis
St Louis sits below the confluence of the two great rivers with an arch on the waterfront that is the tallest monument in the country. It has a substantial brewing and manufacturing history, several universities and a great deal of brick housing stock.
Clothing is the category people buy second hand without thinking twice about it, and it is the one where trying something on decides the sale. A buyer who can hold a coat and check the sleeve length against their own arm asks for far fewer photographs beforehand.
What to check in person
Look closely at the buttons, buckles and any lining, because replacing them costs more than most garments are worth. On wool and cashmere, hold it to the light for moth holes, which are easy to miss and spread once they are in a wardrobe.
Collecting it in St Louis
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Driving is assumed and the city is spread out. Older brick housing has narrow stairwells, so measure the turn rather than the doorway for anything large.
Selling your clothing in St Louis free
Industrial decline left tooling in private hands, and the universities clear student housing each May. The old brick housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market.
Wash or press it before photographing, because creases read as neglect and cost you more than the effort is worth. Shoot it on a hanger against a plain wall, and name every flaw in the description rather than leaving it to be discovered. Coats and knitwear move from the first cold week onward; everything light moves in spring.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
