A bunch of clothes for sale: Brooks Brothers, Tommy Bahama, Ralph Lauren

[Elvis 3371]

I’ve lost about 15 pounds and everything is a little baggy for my frame now.   I doubt this is the best place to sell, but would like to know where the best place is to sell men’s clothes.  Everything is still in style and good shape.

Tommy Bahama has never been in style but they make some good stuff.

What sizes are we talking? And mostly shirts or what? 

[Elvis 3371]

I think everything is Large.   I’ve found the Mediums fit a little better on me now.   
 

The Tommy stuff includes some nice linen vacation stuff.  No crazy floral prints.   I’ll check the Brooks Brothers neck and sleeve  measurements. 
 

my wife sells a lot of Lulu yoga pants, tops, and stuff on Poshmark.  Was hopeful to find a similar site for men’s clothes. Was thinking around $15/shirt would be fair considering they were all $100+ new.  
 

If there’s serious interest here I can post some pics.

FYI, there are men's clothes on Poshmark as well.

An easier thing, but with probably less return, would be a high-end consignment shop.  You just bring it all in, sign their agreement, and get a piece of what they get for it.  I think 15 cents on the dollar, as you propose, is within the realm of possibility with a consignment shop.

Donate them to Goodwill. 

Are you really interested in selling your old pants on Craigslist or the like?  Meeting a stranger in a parking lot to trade an old shirt for $15?

Their jeans are the best. When I’m in there, I’m usually the youngest customer by a couple decades, though.

Donate and take full MSRP as the value donated. It’s the American way.

You better keep it.  You're gonna get fat again.

 

Just sayin'.

Damn. I'm an honest XL. 

Ebay might be a good option. 

[Elvis 3371]

Tommy stuff wears pretty big and baggy even before I lost the weight.   Was about 200# 6 foot.  Linen shirts are really nice and probably $150+ new. All white linen vacation style with some pastel plaids and such.  

[Guest Lobo]

I'd inflate the prices just on the other side of FMV the donation tax deduction, even if you're beyond that threshhold based on AGI.  Probably not quite the net you'd get with a straight sale, but it'll be done faster and you'll do some good in the meantime by giving proper cabanawear to the downtrodden.

Unless of course there's some Ed Hardy peppered in there, then I'm willing to talk serious turkey.

All the Hardy stuff has lost all their rindstones after decades of grinding and fist pumping.  FMV $450/v-neck 50% off!

Well I mean it's more on the up and up than meeting a stranger in a parking lot to trade a hand job for $15.

[capnamerca 571]

There's a sliding scale here of "amount of work" vs "amount of money received." The latter is never going to be very big, but to maximize your return you need to sell them individually, on ebay and on CL simultaneously. Other methods have been listed:

easiest - donate, take deduction

almost easiest - walk into Second Looks (I like the one up off of Anderson Ln). You'll feel violated when they tell you they'll give you about $3.50 for the lot, but at least it's something. They'll likely only want the best 20% of what you bring in. Take the rest to option 1.

moderate - list as a lot on ebay, CL. There are ebay flippers who will take it all. If you do this, take a shitpile of good pictures; you're trying to cut off all the stupid questions and make it easier on yourself.

hard - list individually on ebay, CL. Most won't sell, but there's a chance you can get a big hitter for the nicer stuff, and increase your top end. Be prepared for a thousand stupid questions, and postage + ebay fees add up over time ("free shipping" really isn't, you know).

unknown - poshmark, etsy, etc.

To be honest I got through my internships on the clothes I bought at the Goodwill on Lake Austin.  Bought several Brooks Brothers button downs with tags still on them for $5.

You might have better luck posting pics with your wife modeling them.

 

Just sayin'

Would you classify it as "cruise wear" or "cabana wear"?

Hey, $15 is $15.  Got anything like this?

Do you have any Affliction shirts ?

[Guest Lobo]

Somebody PM me when he starts selling his Mossimo and Stussy garments.  That's when the pussy comes dripping on in . 

[HiggyBaby 2529]

Tommy may have a rep as being for the olds, but their shit fits great.

No, but I have an Ed Hardy collection to knock your socks off.

[Hefeweizen 5310]

Do these have HDMI ports?  Are they uSb C compatible?

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Sell to Plato’s Closet if you want to get rid of fast. Depending on how old. 

[Balcones 317]

Will you sell these clothes by the pound?
