Poshmark

Have you ever cleaned out your closet and realized that you have a bunch of designer stuff (or just other good stuff) that you really like that doesn't fit you anymore or you just don't really wear it, and you'd love to make a few dollars from it because someone might love it, but you don't know how to do it?

I recently discovered the app called "POSHMARK" that lets you do just that. It's like the instagram for selling clothes. It is literally so easy: You take 4 pics of your items, list a few details in the available fields and then post! All listed items generate in a news feed so as you are updating it, you can see what others most recently posted. There are also little "posh parties" where you can post themed items, such as all bags, or Gucci items, etc.

Visit the website poshmark.com or just download the app!

You can communicate with other "poshers" just like on instagram by commenting @theperson at the bottom of their photo. Then when you are ready to buy you literally hit "buy" and then pay an additional $5-7 shipping fees, so if you sell, shipping is covered.

The only downside is that you need to be pretty sure you are going to like the items and ask questions. The other is that poshmark takes 20% of the sales, which comes to be a hefty amount when you sell something at any price; however, it still seems to be better than not selling the item at all or bringing it to a consignment store where they won't accept your never worn designer piece, right?

Users from all over. Lots of items and lots of shoppers!

What are your thoughts? Have you tried it? Any tricks of the trade?
