Am I listing items too high??

Can someone look at my listings and let me know if they are priced too high?  They are at least 30-50% off retail, some are more, but seems to be slow selling.  Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

"My experience has been used clothing sells for 25% of retail or less, even lower for kids clothes, they're everywhere.  I'm sure in the scope of infinity they never need o make a single new piece of baby clothing."

 

As an ex (because of the pandemic) Flea seller I can honestly say that used clothing sells for 1.00 an item.  If it's hahahha haute couture maybe 5.00...or more.  And I totally agree, if the rag trade never made another dress there will be dresses enough to fit and dress us all, till forever.  As a singer (stage dressing) and also sewer of my own clothes, I have a whole room full of fabric that I will probably never use.  Bummer.

 

I was making tote bags for the Flea but they don't allow homemade bags anymore.  Arghhhh....

Too high and auctions are a bad idea for used clothing.  Most of your items are very nicely displayed and obviously in nice condition, but unfortunately kids clothing is basically nickle and dime unless you have vintage vest-back Osh-Kosh or something like that which yuppie parents MUST have for their lil' darlings (to make the yuppie parents look good - the kids don't care).

Hey chapeau...totally agree.  Even lil boys clothes aren't worth much.  Grow out of them, give them away...

I wore my older brother's hand-me-downs (I was, and still am, female) - I don't think I even knew the difference, just that no one cared if I got 'good clean dirt' on my old play clothes, and I had my one good dress for church - for those wee kids clothes, you don't need much more.

Not 25% OFF retail.

25% OF retail.

 

A $10 item, used would sell at $2.50.

A $100 item, used, would sell at $25.00.

And that would be with Free Shipping (ie - shipping included in the asking price.)

Though in clothing that would heavily depend on the item.

When it comes to selling on eBay, IMHO you need to compare your prices to what buyers are paying on eBay

 

IMHO comparing your prices to "retail" is irrelevant.
