/cgl/ — Lolita price check thread

The best way honestly will be to put it on LM and auction it off. Moitie, especially pre 2018 stuff, has skyrocketed in price. If you own stuff that is fully shirred or pretty old/rare it can get to be insane if some collectors try for it.

Crosscheck LM for starting pricing of stuff, put the effort into taking nice photos. Something like the Chandelier jsk is likely worth about 500 usd I think.

Also curious, as I have a 2012 Baby, the Stars Sweet Cherry and Berry JSK and Head Bow Set, Metamorphose wrist cuffs, and a 2019 Baby, the Stars Shine Bright Sweetie Gingham JSK and Head Bow set that I'd love to find new homes for

Would love to sell them all together, but I don't know what to list them for

I tend to price kinda cheap because I want stuff to move, my first instinct was $400USD for the lot.

Based on nothing but gut feeling, of course.

For items you initially believe may have great value I would go with a month long bid system on LM. Gives several people the chance to fight over an item and the longest length of time allows more people to find it. Use the buy it now option for items that you want to clear out asap.

Here's how I list things:
-How much was this item selling for when it was released? Find out on lolibrary, use a year based conversion when determining yen to (your currency).
-How much did YOU pay for it? Did you acquire this item secondhand? How much in shipping?
*These things give you a general ballpark number to start with, as well as a lowest price point if needed.

-How popular would this item be in today's market? Maybe it sold out during the initial reservation period? If it is rare old school it will have a lot of fans. If you picked up something modern and/or actively available on other sites it'll have fewer potential buyers.
*This will help you determine if you should start on the high end or low end of a bid.

Protip 1: add more relevant information, not less. I've seen better traffic on items with general details of how you acquired the piece, sufficient pictures (front, back, and detail shots of problems), measurements not listed on Lolibrary such as upper arm, and fabric description.
Protip 2: Seems obvious but make sure you have all the tags in or your listing won't appear on filtered searches.

edit to popular item: you could also always start on the high end of a bid and just relist if it doesn't sell at a discounted rate - I think that's actually the preferred thing to do. Depends on how much time you have to invest in selling!

You'll make more money and move things faster separating the items out. Lots don't really do well.
