For donations

A donor itemizing a pair of used kids' shorts with no brand to go on could use $13, the 12-month median for used kids' shorts, or $13 for one in good condition (446 sales). A branded item is better valued from its own sales.

Method: the median final sold price of 795 used kids' shorts sold on Poshmark (US) from Oct 23, 2025 to Oct 12, 2026, from SoldStack's archive of 168,038 categorized sold listings, computed Oct 23, 2026. Bundles, lots and non-clothing listings are left out.

This is resale market data, not tax or legal advice. For US donors, the IRS requires a qualified appraisal (Form 8283, Section B) when a single item, or a group of similar items, is claimed at over $5,000.

The 2026 Donated Clothing Value Guide has every category and condition as a CSV. To value a whole list item by item, with brands, paste it into the list demo.

What it's worth new vs used

Used kids' shorts sold for a median of $13, no less than the $13 new with tags fetched (293 sales). The two groups are made of different brands and styles, so tags alone do not set the price here.

How it compares

Of the 30 kids' categories with enough sales for a page, this one has the 25th highest used median. Used women's shorts sold for $15 (1,307 sales), 15% more than kids'. Used men's shorts sold for $19 (1,669 sales), 46% more than kids'. Used baby shorts sold for $10 (41 sales), 23% less than kids'. Across every department, including unisex and untagged listings, the used median is $17 from 4,090 sales. 98% of the used sales were listed in good condition or better. Like new sold for $15 against $10 in fair condition.

How these values are worked out

Each sale in SoldStack's archive is tagged with a department and a category from its title, brand and size. This page takes every Poshmark (US) sale tagged kids' and shorts, leaves out lots, bundles and listings with no condition, and gives the median final sold price: half sold for more, half for less. "Used" is every worn grade, new without tags down to fair. Sold prices are the last listed price, so an accepted offer may have been a little lower, and a thrift store would usually charge less than an online sale. The numbers are recomputed from the archive every hour. How the tags were checked is on the accuracy page.
