The short answer
What clothing sells on eBay right now?
Denim, hoodies and underwear sold steadily on eBay in Aug 2023. A Champion all-over-print hoodie sold for $15.95 plus shipping, men's PacSun denim joggers for $13 plus shipping, and a Calvin Klein underwear pack for $20 plus shipping. The rule that matters most: keep buying the items you see selling again and again.
- Bags are the big ticket: a C.C. Filson duffel sold for $810 with shipping in Aug 2023, and a smaller version took a best offer of about $500 a month earlier.
- Sell underwear in packs: a Calvin Klein 2-pack sold for $20 plus shipping, and three Calvin Klein pairs made in 2008 to 2013 sold for $114 plus shipping.
- Don't mark down old stock automatically: a men's vintage vest from a SKU about six months old sold on a $11 best offer plus shipping, close to its original price range.
- Bundle similar items: two Adidas polos, a jacket and a pair of socks sold together for $50 plus $14.95 shipping.
- Price vintage higher: a 1970s pair of Levi's sold for $17 on a best offer after another pair sold for $55 plus shipping in the previous 90 days, and I underpriced mine.
This is a look at what sold in my eBay store in the weeks before this video went up in Aug 2023, plus why I still like running a reselling business from home. Every price here is one sale, not a market average, so treat them as examples and check sold listings for your own items. Prices marked "plus shipping" are the item price; the buyer paid shipping on top.
What clothing sold for on eBay in Aug 2023?
Denim, hoodies, underwear and well-known brands sold steadily. Here's the batch:
| Item | Brand | Sold for (eBay, Aug 2023) | What to look for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duffel bag, new | C.C. Filson | $810 with shipping | A brand buyers already search for |
| Pullover hoodie, all-over print | Champion | $15.95 plus shipping | Bold all-over graphics |
| Denim joggers, men's | PacSun | $13 plus shipping | Jeans sales were picking up that month |
| Underwear, 2-pack | Calvin Klein | $20 plus shipping | Sold as a pack of two |
| Dress, A-line | Kate Spade | $35.96 plus shipping | Designer label with a clear size |
| Chino slacks, women's | Gap | $17.95 plus shipping | Sold at full price, not on a best offer |
| Silk shirt, 2XL | Tommy Bahama | $15 best offer plus shipping | 100% silk on the label |
| Sports bag, large | Under Armour | $27 plus shipping | Big bags are worth a second look |
| Plus-size top, 2X | Jones New York | $14.36 plus shipping | Women's plus sizes sell well for me |
| T-shirt, XL | Lucky Brand | $14.36 plus shipping | A well-known brand in a common size |
| Fleece joggers, XL | Eddie Bauer | $17.95 plus shipping | Cold-weather fabric |
| Handbag | Lacoste | $27 plus shipping | International buyers ordered that same weekend |
Not every sale here was a win on price. A vintage pair of 1970s Levi's sold for $17 on a best offer plus shipping, after another pair sold for $55 plus shipping in the previous 90 days. I underpriced them. Next time I'll price higher, and checking recent sales before I list is the habit that prevents that.
Which bags make the biggest sales?
The C.C. Filson duffel was the biggest sale in this batch. It came from a storage unit buyout I did the year before, and it sold for $810 with shipping. A smaller version of the same bag sold about a month earlier on a best offer of about $500. Filson is one of the brands I like to resell, along with Arc'teryx. Bags don't sell often, but when one does it's a big sale, and that's a big part of why I keep looking for them.
Are underwear and socks worth listing?
Yes, especially in packs. Men's underwear came up again and again in this batch. A Calvin Klein 2-pack sold on a best offer of $24.95 plus shipping, and three Calvin Klein pairs made in 2008, 2009 and 2013 sold for $114 plus shipping. Evolve underwear sold on best offers, and one repeat buyer came back for a Calvin Klein pack. Socks moved too: merino wool Darn Tough hiking socks sold on a best offer of $15 plus shipping, and a three-pack of Timberland socks sold for $17.95 plus shipping.
Does football season move gear?
I expect it to. A Philadelphia Eagles men's hoodie sold on a $20 best offer plus $8.95 shipping in Aug 2023, right as the football season was starting up. Once the college and pro games are on, I'd expect more team gear to move, so I'm watching for it.
Do I still run markdowns on old stock?
Not right now. I've been skipping my markdown sale. Old clothes I'd normally mark down 30 to 50 percent kept selling close to their original price, or on a best offer. A men's vintage vest by Attitudes sold on a best offer of $11 plus shipping, and its SKU was about six months old. A markdown would have cut that sale down to a few dollars. Women's Gap chinos, another older item, sold at full price for $17.95 plus shipping. Check your own sell-through before you decide, because your items and your prices may behave differently.
What should I keep buying?
Figure out what sells in your own store and keep picking up more of it. That same month, two Adidas polos, a jacket and a pair of Adidas socks sold together as a bundle for $50 plus $14.95 shipping. Duluth canvas cargo pants sold for $15 plus shipping, and a Nike women's pair of joggers sold for $15 plus shipping. Repeat sellers in your store are your best signal.
Why I like reselling from home
The first benefit for me is the schedule. I have a lot of family stuff going on around the house, so my workday isn't cut and dry. I set my day around what my family needs first, then I get to listing.
The second is that you can start with little money. You can go through your house for things you don't use, sell them, and put the profit into items you actually want to sell. I didn't start with a lot of money. I put every bit of profit back into the business, and I've been doing that for about two and a half years.
The third is low-risk buying. I believe one of the most overlooked benefits is taking small, low-risk buys and checking supply and demand before an item goes into my store. Over time, that's how a small amount of money grows.
How I pull and pack orders
Pulling and packing fast matters to me. I use a sequential system: items sit on racks and in bags with consecutive SKU labels, rather than in bins I have to dig through. Each SKU goes in eBay's custom SKU field, so orders don't get lost. The same setup works for clothing, video games or anything else you sell.
When it's time to list, EasyFlip writes the listing from a few photos. It reads the brand, size and tags, then drafts the title, description and item specifics for you to review before you publish to your own eBay store.
The bottom line
This week, pull your sold list and find the brands and types that keep coming back. Stock more of those. Stop marking down items that still sell near full price. Set up a simple SKU system so orders are easy to pull and pack, and put your profits back into the items that sell.

Questions people ask
How much does a C.C. Filson duffel bag sell for on eBay?
In Aug 2023 one new C.C. Filson duffel sold for $810 with shipping, and a smaller version took a best offer of about $500 a month earlier. These are single sales from my store, so check sold listings for your bag's size and condition before you price it.
Does underwear sell well on eBay?
In Aug 2023 Calvin Klein underwear sold in packs for $20 plus shipping and $24.95 on a best offer, and three pairs made in 2008 to 2013 sold for $114 plus shipping. Packs worked well for me, and one repeat buyer came back for another Calvin Klein pack.
Should I mark down old clothing on eBay?
I haven't been running my markdown sale. In Aug 2023, old items I would normally mark down 30 to 50 percent still sold close to their original price or on a best offer. Check your own sell-through before you decide, since your items may behave differently.
Does football gear sell on eBay in the fall?
In Aug 2023 a Philadelphia Eagles men's hoodie sold on a $20 best offer plus $8.95 shipping as the football season was starting. I expect more team gear to move once the games are on, but that is my expectation, not a guarantee.
How do I keep track of inventory when I resell clothing?
I use a sequential SKU system: items sit on racks and in bags with consecutive SKU labels, and each SKU goes in eBay's custom SKU field. This makes pulling and packing orders faster than digging through bins.
Is reselling clothing a good side business?
It can be, mainly because you can start with things you already own. I started with little money, reinvested every bit of profit, and set my own schedule around family. Results vary, and I've been doing this for about two and a half years.

all right so we got 66 orders going out totaling a little over twenty seven hundred dollars in sales stick around to the end of the video to find out what's sold had these men's guests denim jeans sell for forty dollars plus shipping and we had this luxurious Croft and Barrow men's Blazer size 48 sold on a best offer for eleven dollars plus shipping we had this men's pullover hoodie Champion all over print this sold for 15.95 plus shipping so one of my favorite parts of reselling is selling things like this this is a cc Filson duffel bag new attacks really awesome sale right here guys and this is one of the best parts about reselling it is a beautiful thing and this came from the storage unit buyout that I did last year where I bought tons of new attack items and in that storage unit with several bags just like this I sold the
smaller version of these about a month ago and I took a best offer of about five hundred dollars this one sold for eight hundred and ten dollars with shipping so really a nice sale CeCe Filson is one of my favorite brands that along with Arc Terex to resell on eBay so that is the beautiful thing of reselling and every time I get a sale like this which doesn't happen often but every once in a while I'm reminded at how beautiful it is and what a great opportunity it is to be a reseller this men's hat by the brand pistol sold for 13 plus shipping it's kind of like a Castro cap starting to get a lot more of these hats listed and I'm now starting to see some more consistent sales this is just a regular women's t-shirt by the brand Studio y not a good brand at all but the reason why I picked
it up is because it had these sequins on the front but yeah this sold for 12 plus shipping not the best but it did sell pretty fast the SKU number is pretty new this is a men's vintage vest so by the brand attitudes that sold on a best offer for eleven dollars plus shipping but if you notice this is a SKU number from over let's say six months ago and most of this would be marked down 30 40 50 percent so I'm still not running my markdown sale and I'm still seeing items sell for close to original price and if not best offer price so that's a lot nicer than having these items marked down 30 40 50 off where this sale might have only been three four five dollars so I'm continuing to not run my markdown sale and I'm still seeing some pretty good results this is a men's button-up shirt a size
2XL by the brand St John's Bay it sold four let's double check it sold for a best offer of eight dollars plus shipping all right so these are Merino wool Darn Tough men's hiking socks sold for best offer 15 plus shipping this Forever 21 women's tank top sold on a best offer of five dollars plus shipping this was a very old item over a year old so happy to take the profits and reinvest them back into better items had these men's pair of underwear evolve sold on a best offer of 11 plus shipping these men's pair of Levi's 511 skinny sold on a best offer of 1996 plus 8.95 shipping these men's PacSun kind of denim joggers sold for thirteen dollars plus shipping definitely starting to see some more Jean sales coming in some more underwear sold by the brand Gantt this is a lot of two sold for twenty dollars plus 8.95 shipping sold
another pair of underwear by evolve these sold for 17.95 plus shipping this was an international order and another pair of underwear sold for 17.95 plus shipping and sold this pair of DKNY underwear for 1756 plus shipping all right this is a Jones New York women's plus size top size 2x sold for 14.36 plus shipping had these two pairs of underwear Calvin Klein sold for 89 plus shipping a repeated buyer these were made in 2013 really nothing too special about them pack of two so yeah I've been listing these for about 45 dollars each and the guy bought them right away all right so we sold something else besides underwear this is a 2X ist don't know the brand name but this is just a pack of tank tops sold for 17.95 plus shipping I want to go over some of the benefits of what it is to start a reselling business one of the main
benefits for me is being able to set my own schedule since I have a lot of family stuff going on around the house it's not always cut and dry when I can get my work done especially when I need to be helping out the family and family first for me so whenever you know I'm setting my schedule for my day and just make sure that my family has everything that they need before I start working and I would say one of the other best benefits to starting a reselling business is being able to start this business with little to no money you can literally just go around your house to start listing items that you don't use to recoup the money and take those profits and be able to actually find items that you do want to start selling on eBay so where else can you go out into the world to be able to
start a business with little to no money and get started on the right foot to be able to grow this business from home for me I didn't start with a ton of money so I just be I was just able to take every single bit of profits and reinvest them back into my business and I've been doing that for about two and a half years now all right wanted to get into a few viewer comments Holly Sanders is asking thank you for the wonderful videos they are always so helpful will you add me to your store review list so if you guys are wondering what she's talking about I offer eBay store reviews you could check out Linked In the description down below or you could scan this QR code and the reason why I created a list is because as I was doing them over and over again I was kind of losing track
of doing people's eBay store reviews so by signing up on a sign up sheet you are actually able to hold your place to get an eBay storeview it takes me about five to seven days to complete the full review to be able to get you guys the store review that you need to help optimize your store so if you you are interested I have found that people have really enjoyed it got good feedback implemented those tips and now their sales are starting to go up all right guys every once in a while I'm caught slipping these are a pair of vintage Levi's but these are not just any vintage Levi's these are 1970s Wildfire Fire Edition I don't know if you could read that but uh yeah so not many of these listed there is one sold recently in the past 90 days for 55 dollars plus shipping and these actually sold on a best
offer of 17 plus shipping so while that is still great I underpriced them and next time I'll learn to price them a little bit higher another item that would have been on my markdown sale about a six month old item here it's just a women's pair of Gap pants Chino slacks sold on a full price for 17.95 plus shipping all right you all know me I like to sell women's plus size tops this really doesn't qualify for that but it is a women's extra large Lucky Brand t-shirt sold for let's see 1436 plus shipping so I'm getting a lot more people using my coupon I went from a 30 coupon to a 20 coupon this is a rock solid brand this is the brand Kate Spade this is a women's a-line dress that sold for 35.96 plus shipping so still selling quite a few dresses this is a decent brand for some socks the brand
is Gold Toe don't know if you can quite see it there um two Gold Toe socks sold for 29.90 plus 13.90 shipping so Gold Toe socks pretty nice sale all right sound a lot more football gear this is a Philadelphia Eagles men's hoodie sold four see twenty dollars best offer plus 8.95 shipping so football season starting up College Football starting up you should be seeing some more sales so this is a men's quick silver sweater really old skew would have been marked down 50 60 percent but it actually sold on a best offer of 16 plus 8.95 shipping one of my favorite things about this inventory system is that you could pull and pack your orders very quickly and I'm all about speed and efficiency when I'm doing my orders for the day and I want to be able to pull them and pack them in a reasonable time versus something like the bin system
where you're digging around so you could find links to all these items the racks the bags the SKU labels down in the description below if you're looking to get into into this type of sequential system for clothing for video games for whatever you want this system can be applied to many things if you are an everything seller you might want to check this system out it's a great way to keep things organized so I have noticed you guys are using the links in the description and I greatly appreciate it just want to show some love and Shout you guys out because it does greatly help support the channel a little bit goes a long way for example I sold these Nike women's kind of joggers these sold for uh fifteen dollars plus shipping so really saving a lot of time pooling the orders just like this as long as you got your ski label on
there and you put it in the custom SKU section on eBay there's no reason why you should be losing orders this is an Eddie Bauer men's thermal sold on a best offer of thirteen dollars plus shipping so when I first started out on eBay selling clothing it was really difficult for me to figure out all the different types of sleeve types different pant Styles different dresses it took me quite a long time to actually know what it was I was listing needing help with keywords for my titles needing help with putting those items in the correct category which is why I was Purpose Driven and led to create this book here where it has over a 130 pages of every single item specific for clothing on eBay so in this Ultimate Guide it basically is here to help you guys go further faster when you're just starting out as a reseller and for specifically clothing
so you're going to learn all the different types of styles you know it's going to be helpful for your keywords also goes along with a good description to really know what you are listed sting you can find it linked in the description down below or you can just scan this QR code right here and it will take you right to Amazon I appreciate everyone who has purchased the book so far with over 220 copies sold in just about seven weeks I'm greatly appreciative and thankful for all the support So this thick old knit sweater by the brand Gap this is a men's size medium this sold on a best offer of twelve dollars plus shipping this is a pair of women's shorts by the brand Courtney sold for twelve dollars plus 6.95 shipping this is a men's polo by the brand Ted Baker so for fifteen dollars plus shipping it's a pretty decent brand if
you ever find Ted Baker out there is a pair of women's shorts by the brand Hang Ten these were new at tags sold for ten dollars ten dollars plus 6.95 shipping this is a women's linen top by the brand J Jill sold on a 20 off coupon for 14.36 plus shipping had this three pack of Timberland socks sold for 17.95 plus shipping this is a women's jacket by the brand my beloved sold for best offer of 14 plus shipping and this brand is hit and miss for me it's the brand PR Pierre Cardin so this sold for 17.95 but that's the thing you know most the time I would pass up this brand but it has a nice floral Hawaiian pattern so I thought the print looked kind of cool and it's also an extra large so that is going to be another Factor as to why it would go and picking this up and
listing it in my store sold relatively fast as well in under a month from listing this is just a simple pair of men's Calvin Klein chino pants size 36 29 sold for 17.95 plus shipping in these women's J Jill jeans size 8 sold for 14.95 plus shipping another older item that would have been on my markdown sale sold for full price so praise the Lord I would say another reason why reselling is so beneficial is that we can take a dollar and turn it into twenty dollars relatively fast so whether you're a video games reseller Trading Card reseller toy reseller whatever it may be I think one of the biggest overlooked benefits is to be able to take low risk Investments and to be able to capitalize on that by checking out the supply and demand of the items that we are putting into our store so basically being able to multiply money this is
a men's dress shirt by the brand Nordstrom sold for best offer of fifteen dollars plus shipping this Calvin Klein Pro stretch series made in 2009 sold on a best offer of 22 dollars plus shipping here is some fleece joggers by the brand Eddie Bauer men's size extra large sold for 17.95 plus shipping here's another International order this is a Lacoste women's handbag sold for 27 plus shipping had quite a few International orders this weekend so it's a good thing to see here are some Wrangler men's chino pants sold for 17.95 plus shipping this was a large size 44.32 this is a men's 100 silk Tommy Bahama shirt it's a 2XL sold on best offer of 15 plus shipping this is a two pack of men's Calvin Klein underwear sold on a best offer of 24.95 plus shipping another bag sold this sold for 65 plus shipping by the brand Timbuktu gonna ship this out in
a medium flat rate box as it is going to the east coast so shipping is going to be about 14 I charge about 14.95 on all of my bags for shipping and another pack of underwear Calvin Klein sold for twenty dollars plus shipping in this men's lightweight hoodie by the brand Brooks Brothers sold for twelve dollars plus shipping this is a men's Eddie Bauer lightweight small sweater sold for eight dollars plus this women's Nike lightweight jacket it is soft shell sold for 17.95 plus shipping these tie-dye women's running shorts sold for 17.95 plus shipping this is by the brand champion this is a women's lightweight running sweater by the brand Under Armor so for 15 plus shipping another really old item would have been marked down 50 percent but instead took a best offer of fifteen dollars this huge Under Armor kind of football Sack or whatever sports bag so for twenty seven dollars plus
shipping selling quite a bit of these Body Glove men's underwear taking offers of 27.95 plus shipping all right another awesome sale these three pairs of Calvin Klein underwear sold for 114 dollars plus shipping made in 2009 2013 and 2008. so really a blessing to start seeing this underwear move I still have a good bit to get listed but my goal is to get these items all listed before quarter four all right so the importance of picking up similar like items these are all Adidas products two polos a jacket and a pair of Adidas socks sold on a bundle for fifty dollars plus 14.95 shipping I really think it's important to really figure out what is selling in your store and focus on those items to be able to keep on picking up those items that you're seeing constantly sell through this is a pair of Duluth men's carpenter pants canvas actually women's canvas cargo pants
sold for 15 plus shipping all right so this women's Chico's top sold for 14.36 plus shipping they used a coupon which I'm very thankful for so getting started on eBay or reselling in general can be a little bit of a tricky situation if you if you're just starting out you're probably going to be feeling a little overwhelmed which is why Marcus Dixon and I have combined to offer a reseller mentorship in this group we are here to help you guys go further faster in your reselling business you could join Over 56 other people growing their stores getting their businesses on track by implementing the same tips and strategies that Marcus and I use in our business that helped us do a little over three hundred and twenty thousand dollars in sales on eBay last year included in that mentorship you get nine hours of weekly coaching via Zoom also access to a reseller spreadsheet a
