Hello,

I would like to sell some clothes I bought in the early 1990s from mail-order catalogs (Victoria’s Secret, Chadwick’s of Boston, Newport News, Coldwater Creek, etc.). These items are unworn, unmodified, and not laundered, because I’ve stored them in moving boxes in plastic bags since attending college in the 90s, so I’ve been carrying them with me all this time. Moving often, I never unpacked these clothes after packing them, because they were easier to move. I may move again and want to lighten my load. My problem is that I don’t know what price to sell them for. Clothing selling platforms considered them “New Without Tags”, but I still don’t know what they’re worth, if their value has decreased or increased because even though they are vintage clothes and unworn, they’re not from well-known designers. I also don’t have the receipts, so I don’t know what I paid for them. I’m considering selling these items on Instagram, instead of a clothing selling platform. Does anyone have any ideas about how to price these items?
 
Besides eBay sold items, you can see what other people are selling items similar for on GEM vintage search. For instance, here is what is listed there for Coldwater Creek.

I do want to add though that these prices (on GEM) are not prices realized, but the price being put on the items. eBay sold is more realistic, if you see what I mean.
 
The prices shown in the GEM search do look very aspirational.

Etsy is another site with a lot of Coldwater Creek listings, but no search option for Sold items.
