I mentioned in a previous post that I had tried a new resale website thredUp, which is an online resale/consignment shop.  My buying experience was great, so I decided to sell some of my own things on thredUP.  (I considered just updating my last post with my selling experience, but decided to just create a whole new post instead.)

I really didn't have any expectations because most of the prices on thredUP are pretty reasonable so I wasn't expecting to make a lot of money.  Plus, I've worked resale long enough to know better than to expect $100's in profit from resale.  They are used clothes after all.

I requested my clean out bag and it arrived about a week later.  It arrived with instructions and a prepaid return label on the bag, which I filled with items, sealed up, and set out for my mailman to pick up.  Easy as that.  It was so much better than hauling items to a store "neatly" on hangers.

I opted out of the "Return Assurance," because honestly I had already had a yard sale and wasn't interested in getting anything back.  Out of sight, out of mind.  But, just know that there is that option for a small fee.  

I will say, if you're in a hurry to receive your payout, you may want to skip this process.  They were apparently experiencing an extremely high volume of clean out bags, so my original payout date of October 13 was eventually pushed back to October 18, even though they received my bag on September 23.

In the end, they accepted a lot of my items and the payout is about what I had expected, around $2 per item.  So, all in all it was an easy process.  It just took a while to get the payout and it wasn't a huge amount of money, but I wasn't expecting a lot anyway.  I'll probably sell to them again when I get ready to clean out closets again.
