Selling clothes in Portland: common questions
The short version: we buy outright, we pay when it arrives, and you never have to wait for something to sell on consignment.
Where can I sell used clothes in Portland?
Right here. sabi is an online-first store based in the Pearl District (1314 NW Irving St) that buys used clothing outright. Send us photos through the form on this page, we reply with a cash offer, and if you’re in Portland we arrange a quick meet-up or drop-off. No appointment, no waiting around while someone sorts through a bin.
Do you pay cash, or is this consignment?
We buy outright, so you’re paid once, in full, instead of waiting for a piece to sell on consignment. Cash is our preference for local sellers. If you’d rather, we can also pay by Zelle, Venmo or Apple Pay, which is how we usually pay people who ship to us.
How much will you pay for my clothes?
Typically 30–65% of what we expect a piece to resell for, paid in cash. Where you land in that range depends on the brand, how in demand it is right now, the size and the condition. Tell us what you’re hoping to get in the form; a rough number helps us make a fair offer quickly.
Can I sell a whole closet cleanout at once?
Yes, and it’s our favorite kind of submission. Add up to six photos per form, or send one form with your best pieces and list the rest in the notes. We’ll tell you which items we want and make one combined offer. Anything we pass on is yours to keep, donate or list elsewhere, so there’s no downside to sending the lot.
What kinds of clothes do you buy?
Mostly men’s and unisex pieces from designer, Japanese, streetwear, outdoor and workwear labels: think Rick Owens, Kapital, visvim, Our Legacy, Acne Studios, Arc’teryx, Stone Island, Supreme, Nike and the rest of the list above. We look for pieces that are clean, intact and interesting. We don’t buy fast fashion, but if something is special and not on the list, send it over anyway.
I’m in Portland. How do I get the clothes to you?
Once you accept the offer we’ll set a time to meet in or near the Pearl District, usually within a few days. We check the pieces over on the spot and pay you right there. If meeting up is awkward, we can send a prepaid label instead and pay once the package arrives.
Do you buy from people outside Portland?
Yes. We buy from anywhere in the United States. Accept the offer and we email a prepaid shipping label; you pack it, drop it off and we pay by Zelle, Venmo or Apple Pay as soon as it arrives and checks out against the photos.
How fast do I get an offer and get paid?
Offers go out within a few days of your submission, often sooner. Local sellers are paid in cash when we meet. Shipped items are paid the day they arrive. Sending photos doesn’t commit you to anything; you can decline an offer and keep your clothes.
Why sell to sabi instead of a consignment shop or an app?
Consignment shops in Portland usually pay you only after a piece sells, and keep a sizeable cut when it does. Apps like Depop, Grailed or Poshmark mean photographing, listing, answering messages and shipping every item yourself. We pay once, up front, for the whole lot, and the pieces end up with people in Portland and beyond who were looking for exactly that brand.
