Selling guide
Selling shorts second-hand
Shorts are strongly seasonal and strongly length-driven. The gap between an inseam of seven centimetres and one of thirteen is the difference between two entirely different garments, and buyers filter on it hard.
Photograph it
Lay them flat and photograph a tape along the inside leg. It is a two-second shot that removes the most common question.
What buyers check
- Inside leg length in centimetres
- Waist flat, and whether there is stretch
- Whether they are cut-offs, and how they were cut
The common mistake
Listing shorts in autumn. Holding them until spring is usually worth more than the sale you would make now.
