Effortless Closet and Yard Sale Overstock Clean-Outs.
Immediate Cash for Your Premium Clothing.
Transform your pre-loved quality apparel into instant cash today!
Let’s be honest—most people don’t actually want to go through the hassle of donating. It sounds easy in theory, but boxing up, loading, and driving everything to the donation center takes time and energy. Most donation centers won’t even tell you where your stuff ends up.
Here’s how we’re different:
We Pick Up – No boxing, no driving, no waiting.
We Pay You Instantly – Cash, Venmo, or PayPal—your choice.
You’re Helping the Community – Up to 10% of our profits go directly to local churches that feed, clothe, and minister to the people in need right here in the city of Louisville.
Nothing Goes to Waste – Every item is either resold to someone who loves it or personally donated to a local non-profit charity we trust.
So yes, you’re selling to a reseller—but not just any reseller. You’re partnering with a small, Christian, community-focused business that has lovingly rehomed thousands of items, giving them a second life while keeping clothing out of landfills.
If you were just going to donate them anyway, why not get a few bucks and do something good in the process?
Thank you for considering Once Upon a Resell! We’re not your typical consignment store or thrift shop—we’re a local, small business that buys your gently used, high-quality clothing upfront, on the spot, and hassle-free.
We know you’re probably busy. Maybe you’ve got a pile of nice clothes that didn’t sell in a yard sale, or pieces you were just going to donate. Maybe you thought about listing them online, but who has time for that?
That’s where we come in.
We’ll come to you, pick up your unwanted premium clothing, and offer instant cash based on condition, style, and brand. Our pricing is transparent, and designed with your time in mind. Think of us as your on-demand closet decluttering team—without the packing, hauling, photographing, or waiting around for something to sell.
*NOTE* We appreciate your overwhelming interest to donate and sell! Currently we are focused on buyouts within the greater Louisville and Southern Indiana area. We are actively planning to expand our services nationwide in the future. We urge you to follow us for updates!
Reach out via text, call, or email to schedule a quick consultation.
If we decide to schedule an in person assessment, we will review your items in person, checking brand, condition, style, and current market demand.
Based on our pricing tiers for our buying process (see below), we will make a transparent cash offer for accepted items.
If you choose to accept our offer, we pay you right away. Done!
We take the items, clean them and prepare them to be photographed in our professional photography studio and list them to our various selling platforms, matching them with their new owners who’ll appreciate them just as much as you once did.
(All items must be clean, gently worn, and free from damage, stains, pet hair, or odors.)
Examples: Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, Saint Laurent, Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli
Buyout Range: Typically 5%–10% of estimated resale value
We love working with iconic designer pieces—these brands are timeless, elegant, and always in demand. That said, as a small business offering upfront buyouts (not consignment), we’re often limited in what we can pay for luxury items compared to what you’d get through a consignment boutique or selling directly.
If your priority is maximizing profit, you may want to explore consignment shops or peer-to-peer selling platforms like The RealReal, Tradesy, or Poshmark. However, if you’re looking for a fast, simple sale and are comfortable with a smaller upfront cash offer, we’d still be happy to consider your item. Many of our clients choose this route when they just want to declutter and move on quickly.
Each quality item is individually assessed for authenticity, condition, and market demand. We do our best to provide transparent offers—and as always, there’s no pressure to accept.
Examples: Lululemon, Athleta, Vuori, Vince, Theory, Eileen Fisher, AG Jeans, Rag & Bone
Buyout Range: $3–$8 per item (sometimes less for basic pieces)
Final offer based on brand, item type, and resale popularity. Most typical pieces fall around $5–$10.
Examples: J.Crew Collection, Banana Republic, Gap, Nike (non-premium), Ann Taylor, Levi’s, Old Navy (new with tags only), Talbots, Chico’s
Buyout Range: $1–$2 per item
Great for bulk lots of clean, well-kept everyday wear.
We’re a small business—not a consignment shop, not a big-box store, and not a charity drop-off. We can’t pay retail or even thrift store prices. But what we can do is offer you:
A few extra bucks for stuff you were getting rid of anyway
The convenience of not having to do a thing but call or text us
The peace of mind that your clothes are doing good in your community
Selling to us is not about making big money—it’s about getting something for your time and effort, instead of nothing. We handle all the hard parts: sorting, cleaning, photographing, listing, shipping, and customer service. It’s a lot. We’re proud of the work we do to give every piece a second chance.
At Once Upon a Resell, our mission is to keep clothes out of landfills, give them new life, and use a portion of the proceeds to lift up those in need. We donate up to 10% of profits to local church-led programs that feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and share hope with those who feel forgotten.
When you sell to us, you’re not just decluttering—you’re:
Supporting a local small business
Reducing textile waste
Giving to your community in a meaningful way
Making room in your life for what truly matters
We process hundreds of items every week and have successfully rehomed thousands of pieces. Let your clothes be part of that story.
