September 3, 2026 Cash In on Your Closet
Your closet might be worth more than you think.
That jacket you loved last fall but haven’t reached for lately? The jeans that are still great, just not quite your style anymore? Or the bag that seemed destined to become your everyday favorite but somehow never did? Instead of letting them take up valuable closet space, it may be time to cash out your closet.
Start With the Good Stuff
A closet cleanout gives you an opportunity to think about the pieces you haven’t worn lately. Start by looking for pieces that are still current, in excellent condition, and ready to be worn by someone new.
Think denim, jackets, dresses, shoes, handbags, and accessories from labels people are shopping for right now. Check our Selling Guide before you start your edit to see the latest styles and brands our buyers are looking for.
Then be a little ruthless. If you keep passing over a piece every time you get dressed, it may be ready for its next closet.
Skip the Selling Side Hustle
Sure, you could photograph every piece, write descriptions, answer questions, negotiate prices, package orders, and make trips to the post office.
Or you could bring your clothes to Crossroads.
Our trained buyers review your pieces and select the items that are a good fit for our stores. For accepted items, choose cash and put some extra money in your pocket, or take trade credit and head straight to the racks.
No store nearby? Our Sell by Mail program lets you send your clothes to us from home with a prepaid shipping bag.
Make Room for What’s Next
A new season is one of our favorite excuses to take stock of a wardrobe. Clearing out pieces you’re finished wearing gives you more room to see and appreciate the clothes you still love.
Plus, selling keeps great fashion moving from one closet to another instead of sitting unworn.
So take another look at those crowded hangers. Your fall spending money might already be there. This season, cash out your closet and let those past favorites pay for whatever comes next.
