The Denver Post spoke to three secondhand clothing sellers about how they got started and what advice they have for beginners looking to get in the game.
Growing up, Tristan Bego was known for treating her school hallways as fashion runways. It didn’t matter that her clothes were hand-me-downs or from secondhand stores. Budget constraints made her all the more creative.
This year, Denver was named the best city for thrifting based on thrift store availability, sales volumes and thrifting-related Google searches, according to anMetro Denver boasts nearly 200 resale stores — about 6.6 thrift stores for every 100,000 residents, which is above the national average of 4.8 resale shops per 100,000, the analysis found. On average, Denver households are spending $190 a year on secondhand sales.
If you want to cash in and sell some well-loved garb, Renee Suiter, 55, had been casually selling items from her closet on the e-commerce app Poshmark for a few years when the urge to turn her side hustle into her own business became too strong to ignore. This year alone, Poshmark has seen more than 48,000 Denverites cash in by reselling items. In the past five years, there have been more than 193,000 active Poshmark sellers from Denver, according to the company., is now her full-time gig, which she runs out of her home. Suiter sources clothing from local thrift stores — searching for brand names and bright, happy pieces — and then lists her finds on the app.
Suiter said she’s older than many of the local resellers and finds herself mentoring younger sellers.. “If the photos don’t look good, they’re going to keep scrolling,” Suiter said. She suggests staging clothes somewhere aesthetically pleasing, either using flat-lay photography or a mannequin.. SEO, or search-engine optimization, plays a critical role when titling the merchandise, Suiter said.
Sometimes Cikra will sell clothing she’s accumulated to local thrift stores rather than listing everything individually.
