How Much Should I Sell My Used Bridesmaid Dress For?

Being part of a wedding as a bridesmaid can be expensive.

Determine the Value

Selling your dress online will give you the most money for selling your dress, but you are not likely to get what you paid. Some websites charge a high insertion fee to list the dress. The dress may take a long time to sell, depending on demand of the style.

Auction Selling

Selling the dress on an auction site like eBay allows you to sell the dress quickly without paying high insertion fees. You can start the bidding at 99 cents and allow the auction to continue for a week or more. Selling on an auction allows you to get rid of the dress quickly, but the amount you will receive is not certain.

Bottom Line

If your dress is a popular style or color, there may be a small demand. Whether you list the dress on a recycled wedding supply website or a popular auction site like eBay, you probably won't get the full retail value of the dress. A fair listing price would be 50 percent or less of the retail value.
