First, the conclusion: You will lose out if you don't choose a secondhand clothing store based on the "brand compatibility"
Even if women's clothing is from the same brand, the appraisal value can vary greatly depending on the store where you sell it.
This is because each store has different areas of expertise and sales channels, and there are no unified evaluation criteria.
There are stores that are more suited to certain items, such as "stores that prioritize trends" and "stores that prioritize materials," so if you bring it to the wrong place, its true value may not be conveyed.
If you want to sell at a high price, it is important to first understand the compatibility between the brand and the store and then choose accordingly.

Why the price of the same clothes can vary by 2 to 3 times depending on the store
The purchase price for the same item can vary because each store has different resale routes and customer base .
Trend-focused stores prioritize "quick turnover," while stores that carry high-quality brands "highly value each item and sell it ."
Therefore, stores with strong sales channels will give higher appraisals for the same clothing.
The difference in appraisal value is actually caused by differences in "sales method (sales strategy)" rather than "evaluation ability."
If you want to stock up in bulk , purchasing boxes with a focus on cost performance is the quickest way → Value-priced assorted sets that sell even if they are not branded
The difference between "Secast/Trefac/Brand specialty store"
Second Street places importance on trends and turnover , so it gives strong appraisals to brands aimed at younger generations.
On the other hand, Treasure Factory tends to place importance on quality and texture , and highly values department store brands and brands aimed at adults.
On the other hand, brand specialty stores (such as KOMEHYO) take into consideration rarity , brand background, and even the year of release , and premium value.
In other words, the price at which a product is priced depends on the customer base to which it is intended for resale, so choosing the right store is important.

30 high-value women's brands
Since different brands of women's secondhand clothing are valued differently, it is important to first understand which brands tend to fetch high prices .
In particular, high-quality brands sold at department stores tend to fetch consistently high prices, as their materials and stitching remain highly valued even after many years.
Here we will organize brands into categories that are likely to be evaluated in actual appraisal situations.
First, we will introduce the "department store/high-quality" category, which has continued to see stable prices.
Department store/high-quality
Department store and high-quality brands are known for their high quality materials and tailoring , so they tend not to depreciate in price.
IENA, TOMORROWLAND, Plage, Drawer, etc. are particularly known for their high prices on autumn and winter outerwear .
This category is well suited to stores that prioritize quality over trends, and tends to receive higher appraisals at Trefac and specialty stores .

Three "secret tips" to make your money even more expensive
Simply sorting brands correctly will increase the appraisal value, but you can actually increase the purchase price even further by simply changing the way you sell them.
Especially with women's clothing, the way it is presented and when it is presented can affect how it is viewed, so even a little effort can make a big difference.
Here, we will explain three tips that are actually effective in appraisal situations, in a way that even beginners can easily adopt.
Price increase by "set" rather than single item
Demand for women's clothing is more likely to increase when it is "collected" rather than when it is sold individually.
If you combine items from the same brand, color, and style, it will be easier to see them as a "complete outfit."
Example: Dresses + outerwear/tops + skirts are particularly prone to upward fluctuations
Since the value is added to the style rather than the clothing , the appraisal value will be one level higher.
If you want to gather all the materials for a set at once → Assorted sets (easy to assemble by color or season)
Valuation varies depending on the time of submission (season)
Since ease of resale is directly related to the appraisal value, it is advantageous to put it up for sale "before demand increases."
Spring/Summer items tend to be more expensive from February to April , and Autumn/Winter items tend to be more expensive from September to November.
Coats and knitwear are items that grow the most just before the peak demand season
If you're unsure, it's best to make a decision as soon as you realize you won't be wearing it.
3-minute maintenance to do before appraisal
In the appraisal, the item's cleanliness is checked before the tag.
Just removing pilling, brushing, and dusting can change the look
To finish, lightly smooth out any wrinkles (hanging on a hanger is sufficient)
It is judged to be "clothes that have been well cared for" and the condition rank is likely to be higher
Should I sell it in this condition? What season? If you're unsure, a photo is fine. → Consult us for high-value brand appraisals.
Conversely, know the characteristics of "cheaper clothes"
It's important to know which brands and items sell for high prices, but at the same time, understanding why they are cheaper will help you make decisions much more quickly.
By knowing the characteristics of clothes that are likely to fall in value, you will be able to determine when to sell them or identify exceptional cases where their value will increase .
Here we will summarize the patterns that are generally seen as cheap and the exceptions to the rule.
Exceptions where no-brand/outdated items can rise
Generally, no-brand items and items from a few years ago tend to be cheaper.
However, items made from good materials (linen, wool, cashmere, etc.) may be rated higher.
Items with high design value, rare colors and silhouettes will also receive exceptionally high appraisals.
Stores that prioritize "tailoring over brand name" can actually charge higher prices.
Cases where bulk disposal = bulk selling is advantageous
Stock that is suitable for bulk sales is prepared all at once → Assorted items that sell even without a brand
Clothes with low purchase prices tend to get higher "bulk evaluation" than individual items.
Grouping items of the same genre, size, and season will give you an advantage in terms of turnover, resulting in higher appraisals.
Especially for affordable casual clothing, a "10-piece set" is more advantageous than buying one item at a time.
If you have a large amount of items you want to sell, you may find that mail-order purchases offer better conditions than in-store purchases.
Take the next step in the shortest time possible
・Select and purchase → Reserve brand secondhand clothing picks
・Spin boxes → Assorted sets that sell even without a brand
・Pre-consultation for high-value brands → Inquiry for appraisal
summary
The most important thing to do to get a high price for your women's clothing is to correctly determine the combination of "which brands to sell where."
Department store items tend to be a good fit with stores that value quality, trendy items tend to be a good fit with stores that emphasize turnover, and designer items tend to be a good fit with specialty stores that understand the background of the brand, so the appraisal value can change significantly just by changing where you sell.
Factors such as the season, year of release, and item name also affect the appraisal, so you can aim for a higher price by being mindful of the timing and how you present the item.
If you keep the information in this article in mind, you will be able to sell your clothes on better terms, leading to a sale that you are satisfied with.
