(WXYZ) — If you're eyeing retro pieces in your closet to either give away or trash, you're going to want to think again.
You want some extra change in your pocket. Who doesn't? And with a closet full of unused clothes, you just may be sitting on a pretty chunk of change!
Regeneration Clothing of Clawson says retro is in. 90s fashion is back in style.
"Things that I remember wearing in high school, flannel shirts for men, the baby doll dresses, crop tops, linens, flowy things, wide leg pants," said one employee.
If you've got those pieces collecting dust in your closet, then you can expect to get 30 percent of whatever the shop plans to sell it for.
Regeneration will consider vintage items, meanwhile Clothes Mentor and Plato's Closet are looking for clothes purchased within the last two years.
Clothes Mentor favors women's clothing from brands like Target, Chico and Talbot, while Plato's Closet wants junior's apparel from brands like American Eagle, Express and Lululemon.
How do you secure the best cash offer? Experts say:
- Consider selling to more than one shop based on the brands theyre looking for.
- Sell seasonally. Fall/winter clothing is getting priced higher right now.
- Make the clothes look attractive. Bring them in undamaged, washed, and folded!
Bottom line: When it comes to the resale game, it pays to play.
