![]() ![]() That’s how little wear and tear my clothes get. In fact, there are still things from high school in my closet that I can wear. Some stuff was barely worn. I am pretty gentle with my clothing. There was still a huge pile of clothing left, though, including Express pants, shorts, tops and more. I sold Forever 21 dresses for $5 each, and my Express clothing for $10 each. ![]() A few things did sell for about $30-40 profit. I tried selling some of my Express clothing on a private Facebook group for my HOA community. Be sure to scroll down and read their comments, too! Over the years, there have been more than 200 comments of real-life ThredUp reviews from other people who sold clothes to thredUP and how much money they made. This article has been updated most recently in March 2021. So I decided to try to sell clothes to ThredUp. "You can maybe learn that someone is really into rock music," he suggested, "and you kind of bring in darker aesthetics into the recommendations.I had a lot of really nice clothes that I no longer fit into anymore and I wanted to make some money off of them. He mentioned Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter by name, speculating that if the data was properly sorted then it could help his site to send better recommendations. O'Neill has another idea for data to bring into Thread: Your social media accounts. Phillips said that "weather is super interesting." Thread could learn upcoming weather conditions and use that in the text of the messages it sends to users, Phillips said. Why stop at knowing your budget or size? The more data that Thread has, the better. "Every so often send you something that's a bit not accurate or in an area of your data that we don't really have, so 'here's some skinny jeans.' We wouldn't blindly give those skinny jeans to everyone, it would be people that it would make sense, but maybe not an explicit thing that we think you would like and then we get feedback on that and that improves your personal data." It wants to add new types of data Thread does something similar, said Phillips. Spotify, for example, proactively suggests new music that you haven't heard before. It's important to vary suggestions so that new trends develop and people discover new styles. ![]() Thread Founders Ben Phillips (CTO), Kieran O'Neill (CEO), Ben Kucsan (Creative Director)Ī fashion site that just showed everyone exactly what they wanted all the time might not actually be the best idea. "If you have a relationship with a stylist here for four years and you mentioned something four years ago that you liked or disliked, it’s likely the stylist would forget," said CTO Ben Phillips. It's the combination of curation plus AI which has worked really well for us."Īnother reason Thread uses AI is that it doesn't forget anything, unlike humans. We have about 200,000 items from our partners. "So that's a really good place for machine learning where you pull in lots of data from all the different partners you have. O'Neill said that would be "a really hard problem for a human to do" because of the volume of clothes to sort through. Once a stylist has decided on an olive green T-shirt, for example, the algorithm looks to find the best olive green T-shirt for the customer. But after that initial human involvement, Thread uses its algorithms, known as "Thimble" internally, to do some of the heavy lifting. Thread's stylists then look up what you want to buy, and they suggest individual items as well as full outfits. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]()
