Pricing tips 💡
• List toward the top for excellent condition, recent style, known maker; expect offers down to the middle. ⬆️
• Use the lower end for a quick sale or if altered/out of fashion. ⬇️
• ➕ Add 5–15% if including accessories, receipts, or wear photos. 📸
• ➖ Subtract 10–25% for major repairs, heavy wear, or non‑resizable/custom fits. 🪡
• Always include clear photos (on‑dancer if possible), measurements, maker name, and repair history. 📏👗
Factor in age — apply one multiplier to the range you plan to use:
• Made within last 12 months: +0% to +10% (pristine/in‑season = +10%) ✅
• 1–2 years old: −5% to 0% ⏳
• 2–3 years old: −10% to −5%
• 3–5 years old: −20% to −10%
• 5+ years old: −35% to −20% 🕰️
I used AI to help with these calculations — what do you think? 🤖💭

  • It depends on who made the dress, colours/design, original price paid. Impossible to use a general rule as some dresses sell for almost new price and others don't. Take enough off what you paid new, (NT) -- to make buying used worth it to buyers., 17/04/26 8:19:53, Fri
