How our pricing works

Ever wonder how we price millions of unique items? Our prices are set by an advanced algorithm trained on millions of historically sold items. The calculations are based on factors like the brand, the condition of the garment, and the current season. Our pricing works like a revert auction, like starting with a slightly higher price, which then continuously drops. This ensures that we can always offer fair, affordable finds in all price ranges.
