Have any nesties sold their wedding items?

Hey ladies,

Somewhat new to the Nestie board...got married to the love of my life almost 6 months ago. Now we're in the home-buying process...except it's been extremely hard to find a house in the Bay Area. We've been outbid every single time by all cash offers!

 Anyway, I'm trying to sell my wedding dress (the one I didn't wear...yes, i bought two, long story...) Have any of you sold your dresses or items? I've listed various places but haven't been successful. Any tips would be great. It's a brand new dress that I never wore and I'm selling it for less than half what I paid for it! I think it's a good deal...

 Big Smile

Re: Have any nesties sold their wedding items?

  • I'm currently trying to sell my dress at a somewhat local wedding consignment shop...not expecting even half of what I paid, but better than nothing! Might be something you want to look into!

  • There used to be a Knot site/group on Yahoo to sell wedding stuff called Knottiestuff but I'm not sure if it's up anymore. You could try selling stuff to the Nor Cal Knot ladies by putting a link in your siggy about it and posting over there. I sold stuff to girls whose weddings were after mine. GL!
  • What have you tried? I've heard of people selling theirs through Craiglist, ebay, weddingbee classifieds, the nest's "trash to treasure" board, the knot's "the dress" board, and preownedweddingdresses.com. You could also try local consignment shops.

    I don't know the details of your dress, but if you've had it listed at multiple places for a while with no bites, it sounds like it might be time for a price reduction.

  • I sold some misc. wedding items. BUT I bought a wedding dress on craigslist, new with tags. The seller was selling it for 1/3 of the retail price =/ ouch.

  • I sold all my wedding items on Trash to Treasure or Craigslist.  I didn't try to sell either of my dresses.  They are still hanging in my closet.

    Where's that?

     I also have a second dress and have been trying to sell it FOREVER. Nothing has worked so far.
