Have you all just considered buying less? That’s a much more effective way to get to the root of the problem. It’s so silly to complain about stingy consignment places when you could simply stop shopping as a hobby. It’s never going to fill your cup.

Agree. First few bags to thredup in 2024 I got reasonable return. The most recent bag in January 2026 the prices were shockingly low… e.g., I got $2 for new with tags Talbots blazer (purchased earlier in the Fall and I missed the return window). I’m going to try somewhere else next time.

Thredup.com does the same thing. You can either cash out your earnings or use as store credit.

I used to use Thredup pretty consistently, but the last 2 bags, I noticed the pricing of my items was absurdly low ($12 for Jenni Kayne leather mules, $4 for Frank & Eileen jacket), so my share would have been like $8. I asked for all my items to be returned (and they did). Not sure what is going on with Thredup, it feels like they are catering to resellers. It's still a good destination as a buyer, but not really worth it as a seller anymore).

+1, I just sent a bag to Thredup after not using them for a few years - the prices were ridiculously low as were some of the items they decided they weren't going to sell.

This is OP I have mostly designer stuff but most of it more than one year old. Maybe Real Real is the way to go.

If you go to Real Real.com they break down what brands earn what %. They also only take certain brands. I think you get the highest percentage on Hermes.

I have sold with them 3x. I just finished up a round and ended up with just over 5K. Both men's and women's items.

They make it easy, at least for me. The DC location closed, but they will do a video call and then they send you everything you need to mail in all that they accept. If, once everything gets there and something isn't acceptable, they send that back to you. I don't know what would happen if they accepted something and it didn't sell.

I think this is it.

These sites, Thredup, Poshmark, etc, are overrun by people who are making their living at this.

Someone did once while I was there with an appointment. And they were not nice to her. Very snotty.

They weren't terribly nice to me either, even though they did end up taking a lot of things -- they only wanted designer, it had to be current (within a year or so), and the right season. They were especially happy with my Valentino bag and Tiffany jewelry. They won't contact you when stuff sells, you have to contact them and you have to do it within a certain time frame. At least this is how it was when I gave them stuff to sell a couple of years ago. I wouldn't go to them again, I'd go to Wardrobe Rescue in Vienna instead -- much nicer.

I use Poshmark and have had a lot of success selling things on that platform.

If you have actual designer stuff then maybe your math is different, but for mall brands - even better brands that are new with tags - having to make an appointment, deal with their seasonal limitations, let them sort through my stuff, etc., is more than the payout is worth.

I either donate outright, or I send to ThredUp and take store credit which I can spend on a purse or something.

+1. OP hasn't really given us the brands she is trying to consign. If consignment places even want your stuff.

What has your experience been? How long did items take to get posted and sell? And can you give an example of what you got for an item? It seems like it would be better than Thredup.

I did once with just 4 items and they fit me in. I’d recommend making an appointment though. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
