can anyone help me accurately price this piece?
i have this (i’m assuming) rare cav empt sweater that i just don’t wear enough so i’m trying to sell it - except i literally cannot find it anywhere online so i have no benchmark.
tried asking in the cav empt subreddit already to no avail, so any help is appreciated!

Honestly price it higher than you think and just drop it gradually if you’re in no rush to sell
Out of my ass I’d put like $280 initially but it’s up to you
Maybe $280 is a bit low

one sold for $70 a year ago
Condition seems noticeably worse
also a bit annoying cav empt gets a lot of reps
And cav empt has been getting really hard to get in the US
the one i have is basically like new btw
their hoodies go for like 250-300 so i feel like a sweater in NM could probably bat around there
I'm seeing similar chunky knits range from like $150 - $350 with most selling around $250
yeah that’s fair
i’m assuming though that cav empt is still pretty niche isn’t it? feel like not that many know the brand
People looking for the brand will want the brand
Aka me looking for a zip up hoodie
Also take it from someone literally wearing cav empt rn
hahaha
you'd be surprised lol
there's a lot of people that use the internet
sadly in my local channels the only stuff people are interested in are dunks and moncler puffers
i feel like cav isn't that underground anymore anyway
It isn’t
thanks for the help though all! hopefully i can find someone who wants it
i’d consider using grailed but i stopped after i saw a slew of people complaining about scams
grailed is fine
Just sold shit there
Don’t try to sell here
It’s underground for people looking for puffers and dunks
Yea do grailed I just sold a bunch of stuff on grailed
yeah dw im not trying to, just wanted to see others opinions on the pricing
grailed got in some hot water with spiking their fees or whatever a while ago iirc
but like
who doesn't take a big cut now
kinda facts
eBay but it’s a bit harder for cav empt I think
Depop is full of fakes and also people don’t care about brands there
Idk about poshmark
one other thing about grailed, are chargebacks a big issue?
i’ve seen a bunch of posts about that as well
yeah grailed is just something you gotta bite the bullet for bc it's easier to sell more branded stuff
eg someone selling a piece and then the buyer does the paypal chargeback, seller loses everything
I only sell to people with purchase history
But yes it’s possible
sucks how you can’t trust anyone these days
but in a way i guess it’s always been like that
if you do a paypal chargeback you'll get banned from grailed and paypal
it's not common
Grailed is buyer sided though
grailed will push you to allow payments through square and afterpay, but you don't have to
it's situation dependent, but a chargeback through paypal is an actual nuclear option
and any disputes go through grailed and paypal's resolution processes if they use that to pay
yeah that’s true, i guess i’m just paranoid due to previous experiences
tried to buy a vetements sweater a while back and the dude sent me a hot glue stick 💀
double up grailed/ebay and see who bites i guess
Yeah I’d just spam a listing on everything
Grailed / eBay highest likelihood of working out
Then depop then ?? Posh mercari idk
scammers exist on both sides, best you can do is document your conversations in case anything comes up. the worst part about grailed is the fees and payout times imo
people tend to be nicer on ebay in my experience
bc it's not as many stupid ass high schoolers
I got one of my fav Ann pieces off posh somehow
also consider putting on vestiaire, depop, poshmark, vinted if you're in the eu
Oh yea vesti
could consign with trr if you want it gone and don't care about making money
Vesti would be good for cav
or join some sw groups and just sell p2p
facebook marketplace :xdcrying:
yeah those are all good options, i actually forgot about vesti ngl
fb is mainly where i’ve sold stuff xdd but in my country there’s a group for it so it’s worked out in the past, it’s just gotten so saturated now
it is what it is ig
i feel like your piece will definitely move faster if it's in that condition
hope so, in my group at least my post is getting slept on but i see people selling fog essentials and amiri jeans in a flash 😦
With all due respect, I’m not sure that group is the target audience for cav empt
