Wedding outfits worn once, clothes that no longer fit, shoes bought in the wrong size, bags that sit in a cupboard — all of it holds value that disappears the longer it stays unworn. List it free on Olditems and sell directly to a buyer near you.
This guide covers measuring, cleaning, photographing and describing clothing so that it actually sells. The live price table below shows what similar items are currently listed for.
Lay items flat on a plain background or hang them in natural light. Show the brand label and size tag.
Compare with similar pre-owned items and price according to the brand, condition and how often it was worn. Bundling similar sizes can help items sell.
Add a clear title (brand + model helps), an honest description and your city. Your fashion items ad goes live immediately.
Reply to buyers, meet in a safe public place, and get paid in cash or UPI at handover.
Chest, waist, shoulder and length laid flat — the detail buyers ask for every single time.
Daylight, plain background, no stock images. Buyers skip ads that use the brand’s own photos.
How often it was worn, and when it was last cleaned, does more for your price than any adjective.
A pulled thread or small stain disclosed in the ad keeps the deal intact at handover.

Sizing varies between brands, and "M" means very little to a buyer who cannot try the item on. Lay the garment flat and measure it, then put the figures in the description: chest or bust, waist, shoulder, sleeve and total length. For shoes, give the insole length in centimetres as well as the marked size. This one habit is the difference between an ad that sells and one that collects "what size is this?" messages.
Say clearly whether the item has been altered, since an altered garment usually cannot be let out again.
Include the type, the size, the colour and the brand if there is one: "Red silk saree with blouse, worn once" or "Nike running shoes, UK 9". Say how many times the item has been worn — "worn once for a wedding" is one of the most persuasive phrases in this category.
If you have the original bill, box or dust bag, mention it and photograph it. Buyers of branded items look for proof of purchase, and having it lets you hold your asking price. Describe the item accurately and let the buyer examine it in person before paying.
Meet somewhere public in daylight so the buyer can see the fabric and colour properly — photographs always flatter. Take payment in cash or UPI at handover, and confirm it has reached your account before the item leaves. Remember that buyers cannot return clothing, which is exactly why accurate measurements protect you as much as them.
More help: is second-hand fashion worth it and the guide to buying and selling pre-loved fashion and ethnic wear.
Give measurements rather than relying on the label: chest or bust, waist, shoulder, sleeve and total length, taken with the garment laid flat. For shoes, add the insole length in centimetres. Sizing differs between brands, so measurements are what buyers actually trust.
Yes, and say so in the ad. Buyers of pre-owned clothing always ask when it was last cleaned, and an item that is ready to wear sells faster and holds its price better.
They are among the strongest items in this category, because they are often worn only once and stay in excellent condition. Mention how many times it was worn, when it was last dry-cleaned, and check the embroidery for missing stones before you photograph it.
Photograph the item itself rather than using a stock image, and include the original bill, box or dust bag if you have them. Describe the condition accurately and let the buyer examine the item in person before paying.
No. Deals are made directly between buyer and seller and Olditems does not handle returns. That is exactly why accurate measurements and honest photos matter — they prevent disputes at the meeting.
