How these guides work
- Each opens with the typical price range, then breaks it down across five condition grades
- Every guide lists what genuinely raises and lowers the price for that specific item
- Figures are shown in pounds as a reference; WishThrift displays prices in your own currency
- Selling on WishThrift is free at any price — no listing fee and no commission

Two things that change the number
Condition moves the price further than anything else, and where you sell decides how much of that price you actually keep. Both are worth settling before you list:
- What each condition grade means — New with Tags, Like New, Good, Fair and For Parts, and how to grade yours honestly rather than optimistically.
- What each marketplace charges sellers — eBay, Poshmark, Mercari and sixteen others, verified against their own fee pages. A 20% commission changes what an item is worth to you.

Is yours broken, damaged or incomplete? A defect is not the end of a sale — repairers, restorers and people replacing a single component all shop deliberately at that end of the market.
Read selling broken and damaged items for what yours is worth at Fair and For Parts, how to grade and photograph the defect, and the handful of cases where the honest answer is not to sell it at all.
Buying rather than selling? The buying guides cover what to check before you pay, what a fair price looks like at each condition grade, and how to arrange a handover that protects both sides.
Value guides by brand
What a label is worth second hand comes down to the model line, where it was made and whether the parts are original — not the logo. There are now 5585 brand value guides covering Marks and Spencer, Next, Gucci, ASOS, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Zara, Versace and more, each with the price at every condition grade and where the serial or date code is stamped.
Brand guides by category
Sizing, labelling and range structure vary far more between makers than between categories: a size 12 is not a size 12 across two brands, and the same model name can cover a decade of very different builds. There are now 400 brand and category guides across 18 categories, covering Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Dior, Saint Laurent, Versace, Next and more — each with what a used piece typically sells for and what to check before you buy or list one.
