Vintage - any tips?

[PaulineCampbellJones]

Does anyone out there have any tips on listing or selling vintage clothing. eBay or otherwise? I have a lot of my Mam's old suits and dresses from 60s and 70s. She tells me they are good makes but I have no idea where to start.

My advice is to spend a few days/weeks doing your research first. Look for similar things on eBay and look at the wording, categories listed in etc.. Look at the sold items and see how much similar things sold for. Take lots of photos including ones of the labels. Take exact measurements of the garments in cm and inches and put them in the listing. A current size 12 is a lot different to the 1960s 12. Make sure you offer postage to places like the US.

I sold a couple of early 1980s Laura Ashley dresses earlier in the year - one went to Germany, the other to the US.

Thanks Purple Frog that's a big help!
