[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've tried selling my clothes on Mercari and Ebay so far and no luck. I've lowered the prices and they are super reasonable (a Joie dress for $22 and an Everlane dress for $20 as examples).

I have a consignment shop I have taken clothes to in the past, but I feel ripped off by them (they take 60% and you get 40%. They also mark your items super low for a quick sale, much lower than ebay pricing even).  Is this reasonable for a consignment shop? [/quote]

If you've lowered your prices to what you view as reasonable and there are no takers than your price is too high or the style is not in demand.  If you don't like the consignment store policies, don't use them.  Is it reasonable---the 60/40 split is pretty standard and they have an interest in getting the item off their floor.  They are counting on you having an interest in getting it out of your closet.  I look at selling my old clothes as a choice between $0 if I donate and some dollars if I sell.  Some dollars is better than no dollars.  And sometimes just getting it out of my house is better than holding on to it for the few dollars that I might get.[/quote]
