• Jeans can be found at thrift stores, garage
sales, flea markets, storage units, discounted
retail store and estate sales for cheap and if
you no which ones sell you can make easy
money.
• People shop everyday for Jeans online and
thrifty people are looking for a deal over full
retail.
• Excellent ROI – Something to Not overlook

Why Measure?
• Measuring is important because you want to
provide the buyer with all the details on the
item you are selling
• By providing the measurements in your listing
will eliminate questions from potential buyers
• Cuts down on returns.

Selling Jeans
• eBay is a great place to sell
used jeans. I prefer selling
the jeans with a buy it now
/ best offer option for 30
days for best results. I start
my prices high than
gradually lower them if
they sit for awhile.
Copyright Pick4Profit 2014
Selling Strategies
• eBay is the ideal place but
understand what brands
sell for good money. Lots of
jeans people are selling
online don’t realize they are
making $1 a pair or losing
money. The next step while
talk about what jeans sell
best in a lot.
Copyright Pick4Profit 2014
What Sells
• You want to look for mid to
high end grade jeans, such as
Brioni, True Religion, Vintage
Levis, Kiton etc.
• These don’t bring all the
money but sell well in lots:
seven for mankind, levis,
wrangler, etc.
• Jeans can be long tail so don’t
think you can get fast sales
for your items unless the
items are in super demand
and you price them to move.
Copyright Pick4Profit 2014
Shipping Jeans
• 99% of the time jeans will
weigh over 13 oz which
means it will ship USPS
Priority Mail. This is very
important to understand
when you create your price.
Always factor in the
shipping into the price if
you offer free shipping.
