About these numbers
Where the numbers come from
Completed Poshmark sales of used women's shorts by each brand over the last 12 months: both brands are read on the same marketplace, the same months and the same condition.
Sell-through is the share of listings that sold in the period. Time to sell is the median number of days from listing to sale. The sales trend compares the last 30 days with the 30 before.
A wholesale price shows only when a live lot of the same condition costs less a piece than the brand's used resale median.
