![]() I’ve heard of each of those scenarios many times over, so it’s good to know any of those could happen to you. You could find a gem and make a good profit, break even, or lose money on a box. If you have access to better inventory for cheaper, that might be a better way to go.ĭo you like mystery boxes? You don’t know what you’re going to get in rescue boxes. How else do you get inventory? If you aren’t able to get out of the house and source inventory from stores or want to source online in small batches, then this might be a good option for you. Still, there are some things to consider: I guesstimate a $50 profit on a box that I got with a $30 discount. ![]() You can probably see that there’s not much room to make a profit with this box if I had paid full price for it. A $50 profit would be reasonable after covering the cost of goods. Sometimes I lower the price to get quicker sales, so it’s hard for me to estimate how much profit I might make from this box. The clothes and other items may take months to sell. That isn’t the case here and hasn’t been with any of the thredUP boxes I’ve received. The exception to this is for items I know are in high demand and will lead to competitive offers. The American Eagle sweater had pilling and was too worn for my liking.Īlthough there are no guarantees when it comes to selling these clothes, I think it’s likely that I will make a profit from selling them.įor most of my selling, I prefer quicker sales at a lower price versus waiting for a higher-priced sale to come along. The John Clarendon suit jacket appeared old and didn’t have a size tag. I removed three items that I felt were not in good enough condition to sell, or I just didn’t want to sell them. In the past, I’d received some items from thredUP that were new with tags but pretty much unsellable because they didn’t have a size, were from unknown Asian brands, and/or were an odd style. The Visconti Uomo shirt retails for $99 and may resell for $30-40 from the sold prices I viewed. ![]() The Everlane shirt retails for $75 and is a popular size (large) and color (slate gray). I was happy to receive a few good items that are new with tags and hope that they will cover the cost of the box and then some. But I suspect men’s boxes to be somewhat curated to provide items of various quality. Remember that these boxes are meant as a way for thredUP to make money while getting rid of items. Those are difficult or undesirable to resell. I have heard of some people receiving mostly worn items or very small sizes in a jeans box. It contains a few good items, mostly average items, and some worn items. This box is similar to the first men’s rescue box I received. NWT Everlane The Japanese Slim Fit Oxford L What did I receive in my men’s rescue box? ![]() If I didn’t use credits to pay, the cost would have probably been a little over $5 per item. That’s a pretty good deal for me because most of the resellable clothes I find at the thrift store are $7-12. I received 12 items so the cost was $2.58 per item. Those are offered at a cheaper price per pound because you buy more at once. Sometimes larger quantities are offered such as 50 lb or 100 lb boxes. The men’s rescue box is $50 for a 10 lb box. So I was willing to take my chances on the box. They’re not items that thredUP tried to sell and couldn’t. The clothes may not be in good condition, from desirable brands, or in sizes that sell well.īut I figured they may be better than women’s items because they are not thredUP’s rejects. That’s not a guarantee of getting resellable clothes. If those people don’t pay for their items to be returned to them, the items then belong to thredUP and are sold in rescue boxes. ThredUP does not sell men’s clothes, but people send them in because they don’t know this. ***If you don’t have a thredUP account, you can sign up for a thredUP account and receive $10 to spend towards inventory to resell or something for yourself. ** If you don’t have a Poshmark account, you can receive a free $10 bonus when you sign up with my code SFGIRL2015. ![]() This means that I may receive compensation when you click on a product link or purchase an item linked on this site.
