I wanna see! </p> <p>I'm no help b/c I rented mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553536 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 11:11:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1553536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: oh definitely! High end designers like Monique, Vera, Jim Hjelm, etc return a better profit because they're in demand brands.</p> <p>@CupQuakeWalk: yeah mine is the same. Perfect condition, professionally dry cleaned. I'm very reluctant to let it go for less than 50%. At this point I can live with 40-50%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553215 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:52:58 +0000 littlebug 1553215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I'm not expert, but I do think some designers have higher resale. I have a friend who owns a bridal consignment store, and she only takes "higher end" designers, like Anne Barge, Vera Wang, Jim Hjelm, etc. I think that's because they turn a better resale profit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553187 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:46:31 +0000 looch 1553187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to sell mine too! I've dipped my toe in the water to find out more, but I am curious, if the dresses were designer or what.</p> <p>Are there some designers that have a higer resale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553147 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:36:55 +0000 littlebug 1553147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my dress as a sample sale, so it was already lower than the retail price. It sold at a consignment shop for 70% of what I paid for it, and I got half of that. So I got about 35-40% of what I paid for it, which is really probably only about 20% of retail. Does that make any sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553138 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:35:25 +0000 Dandelion 1553138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I donated mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553132 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:34:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1553132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sold on Ebay for 50%, did not dry clean. Unfortunately I think the longer you wait, the cheaper you have to go if someone is looking for specific models. (Mine was a sample to begin with and dirt cheap, I just wanted it gone) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553128 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:33:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1553128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was in perfect condition and I sold it for about 45% after trying about 55-60% for over a year.<br /> (Ebay &amp; CL but eventually sold on Ebay). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sold-your-wedding-dress-1#post-1553115 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 09:26:59 +0000 regberadaisy 1553115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What percent did you sell it for?</p> <p>What condition was it in and did you pay to have it professionally dry cleaned?</p> <p>Been trying to sell mine off and on for almost four years. I think it's time to pull the trigger and go low on my price just to get some money back.</p> <p>How low did you sell your dress for? percentage of what you paid? Thanks! </p>
