June 1, 2023 How to Sell Unwanted Clothes on the Spot
If you’re wondering how to sell unwanted clothes you just cleaned out of your closet, you’ve come to the right place.
Some people may direct you to websites like eBay, or one of the numerous selling apps, but the fact is you probably want those clothes off your hands right away. And we’re in agreement if you think creating an online listing for every piece of clothing (with photos, measurements, and descriptions) sounds like too much work.
Enter Crossroads, where any day of the week you can walk into one of our stores and sell your clothes on the spot. No appointment is necessary, and you can even use our waitlist app to add your name to our selling list before you leave home.
Trained in-store buyers assess each piece of clothing and select what to buy from you. You’ll earn 50% cash or 30% store credit of what they price the item for.
To have the best luck at selling, check out the seasonal selling guide ahead of time to learn what stores are currently looking for. Then, remove any damaged or stained items from your unwanted clothing assortment so buyers can focus on your best pieces.
Our stores are ready to assist you with those pre-loved fashion pieces that no longer fit your style. Find your closest Crossroads store to get started. Don’t live near a store? Try our Sell by Mail program instead.

May 18, 2023 Trending: Skater Fashion
Skater fashion is right up our alley. It’s so relaxed and easy, and you never age out of it, although it always feels youthful.
We included it in our latest seasonal selling guide because it’s a trend that screams, “It’s almost summer!” Long days, boardwalk visits, and casual looks are headed our way.
Whether or not your skater moves impress, you can give the trend a try. Some of the classic pieces for the look are oversized sweatshirts and t-shirts, baggy pants, low-profile sneakers, long shorts, and a bucket hat or beanie.
However, you can develop a skater style all your own. Keep scrolling for some photo inspiration.
Besides skater fashion, we have lots of other trends, styles, and labels featured in our seasonal selling guide. Take a look and decide which ones you’ll try this spring and summer.
If you need to stock up on the latest trends, stop into any Crossroads location to shop our racks filled with gently used, current pieces at a fraction of the original retail price. Bring your pre-loved clothes for an even better shopping experience: sell to our in-store buyers for cash or store credit!
