7 ways to get better pricing on your consignment

Small decisions before your pickup can make a big difference to what you earn. Here is what our sales data tells us.

Bring what buyers are searching for. Ralph Lauren, Adidas, Nike, Levi's, Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger and Carhartt are among the strongest sellers.
Send seasonal pieces early. Sweaters and layering pieces are surging as the weather cools. Pieces that arrive while demand is rising sell faster.
Do not overlook the mid-range. Pieces that list between AED 80 and 149 sell through at the highest rate.
Think about the Premium tier. Pieces that sell for AED 250 or more earn a higher share (65% in store credit or 50% in cash, against 60% and 45%). If you have a strong designer or branded piece in great condition, bring it.
Include the quick sellers. Handbags and caps typically sell in about eight days, and polos, sneakers and shirts move in under a month.
Wash, fold, and check each piece. Clean, odor-free items make a better first impression and are less likely to be turned away.
Keep flawed pieces at home. Items with stains, tears or missing buttons are unlikely to make it through review, so we'd suggest leaving them out of your pickup. Your best pieces will earn you more.

A good test: would you buy this from a friend, at the price you would expect to pay? If yes, bring it.
