The right price sells your item within 24 hours. The wrong price keeps it in your wardrobe for another year. Here's how to get it right the first time.

Pricing pre-loved fashion is part research, part psychology. Too high and buyers scroll past. Too low and you leave money on the table — or worse, signal that something is wrong with the item.

The 3-step pricing formula

  1. Find the original retail price (check the brand's website or major retailers).
  2. Apply a condition discount: Like New = 30–40% off retail. Good = 50–60% off. Fair = 65–75% off.
  3. Check Troverve's Price Suggester for recent sold prices in the same category.

Brand vs. no-brand pricing

Recognised brands (H&M, Zara, Adidas, locally known labels) command a 20–30% premium over unbranded items in the same condition. Buyers trust the brand's quality history. If you have the original tags or receipt, include them in the video — this alone can add NPR 200–500 to your selling price.

When to use Best Offer

Enable Best Offer if your item has been live for more than 5 days without a sale. Set your minimum at 15% below your listed price. Motivated buyers will meet you in the middle — and a slightly lower sale is infinitely better than no sale at all.
