Donations: Pricing Guidelines

Pricing Guidelines

The following is a list of average prices to use as deduction for donated clothing items. New or expensive "designer" clothing would be higher, and damaged, out-of-date, or cheaper-made clothing would be lower. This list is to offer you GUIDANCE ONLY. There are, of course, variables such as age, quality, style, cleanliness, and value when new.

A full list of items The Career Wardrobe accepts can be found by clicking here.

Please be aware that The Career Wardrobe does not have the means to repair, clean or press clothing.
Clothing that is stained, missing buttons, or in need of repair can not be used by The Career Wardrobe.
