Been buying and selling secondhand for a while, and most people leave money on the table because of these three mistakes:

1. Photos in bad lighting kill your price before anyone reads the description. Natural light, plain background, multiple angles. This alone can bump offers up 20-30%.

2. "Good condition" means nothing without specifics. Instead of "gently used," say "worn twice, no stains, original tags attached." Buyers pay for detail because it removes their risk.

3. Bundling beats single-item listing for anything under $15 in value. Nobody wants to pay shipping twice. Group similar items (like a lot of graphic tees or a set of phone cases) and you'll move inventory faster than listing one-offs.

If you're getting into resale — whether flipping thrift finds or clearing out your closet — these three fixes alone will change your close rate more than any pricing strategy.
