You bought that beautiful outfit, that amazing shoe, or that gorgeous bag, wore it, rocked it, and after a while, got sick. But even then the fate of the pieces need not be the back of the closet. If they're still new and well-kept (don't try to get rid of parts no one would use), selling them over the Internet may be a good option.
If there were previously prejudices and some fears about online shopping, today there are those who would rather buy over the Internet than go to a store, especially for convenience and ease. In addition to guaranteeing you extra money, it also frees up closet space for new parts you are certainly looking forward to buying.
Search about online stores
Before putting the pieces up for sale, it is important to plan and choose well where and how they will be advertised. There are some specific websites for this. Among the international ones, the best known are:
eBay: Because it is older, it is very reliable and has a large number of buyers, which is good, but it can also cause your product to get lost amid so many other ads. You can control the value of the offer or even promote an auction.
Threadflip: It is an application that works similar to? Instagram ?. Just take pictures of the clothes with your own phone and then send for sale. There is also the version of the site with the same name.
In Brazil, there are also some websites that specialize in selling used parts:
I got sick and I'm selling: Once you sign up, your ad is approved by the team and only then released to go live. Posts are always relaxed and humorous and the site gets a commission on the value of each product sold.
Very Close: One of the largest and most reputable online thrift stores, has new and new articles, national and imported. It works as a kind of virtual auction. That is, whoever gives the highest bidder takes the piece.
Free market: The site works like a Brazilian version of Ebay, it is easy to use, but it also has a lot of competition between sellers, so it is essential to create a very informative and reliable ad. Besides always clarifying the doubts of the interested ones.
In addition, there are Facebook groups that act as a buy, sell and trade bazaar. However, these are a little harder to find because they are regional or local. But it's worth researching them using the term? Bazaar + name of your city? on Facebook search.
Capriche in the ad
- Separate the pieces you really don't want to use anymore? After all, once the sale is done, it's no use regretting it.
- Take pictures of the pieces. It can be both you wearing them and the loose pieces on the bed, for example, and always with a neutral background.
- Simply saying that it is size P, M or G can be very vague and open to error. Therefore, put not only the size of the pieces, but also the measurement (length and width) in centimeters.
- Describe in detail the material, the colors, and even if you have any minor defects. Do not try to fool the buyer.
Take some care
To avoid any damage, it is important to be aware of the payment methods. It may be cash in hand, which is more assured but also more difficult, as buyers will not always be in the same city as sellers. Bank deposit is another option.
A tip is to look for buy and sell sites that rate users, so you can see comments and opinions of those who have already negotiated, as well as the evaluation of business and products. After the sale or purchase, it is important to leave your evaluation.
Exchanging messages by email or even by phone can also help as it allows questions to be answered.
