It should be no surprise there’s a huge market for reselling clothing.
Consider these latest figures from one of the top fashion resale sites, thredUP: The fashion resale industry totals about $20 billion in sales, alone, and is the biggest resale market in the US. Reselling clothes is growing 24-times faster than retail fashion, too.
You won’t find major retailers reselling clothing, though, and that’s where you and thousands more resellers come in.
Check out this current list and pick the best app to sell clothes. Which one fits your needs best?
