How to sell your clothes on Instagram without losing your mind

*My mind is mostly intact. I think.

Something I’ve noticed recently, perhaps part of the larger trend of how social media has led us to adopt the behaviors of public figures even if we have a very modest following, is that a bunch of girlies I follow have been having “closet sales” on Instagram. This appeals to me for a number of reasons. I love the idea of upcycling clothes instead of having them sit in a landfill. I refuse to figure out how to use Depop and Poshmark as a seller, even though I have used both platforms as a consumer (I don’t want these sites taking a cut of my earnings!). I have followed a number of Instagram clothes reseller pages, like @selltradeplus, for years and had good experiences buying clothes from people there. And it’s nice to have a trusted person you’re buying clothes from.
