For those who have bought or sold instagowns, how did the sale process look? I posted a dress for sale and I've had 1 or 2 people ask about sending someone to pick it up and bringing it to them to try on. Their people live less an hour drive from me. Is this standard? Do I ask for a deposit? What if they wear it to their event and then send it back? I hate to be cynical but I feel a little uncomfortable selling this way.

Please chime in.

I think the people have to come to you to try it on. They could ruin it, or not return it.

Don’t let them take it home without payment.
I’ve had a dress stolen from me this way because it never dawned on naive me that a frum looking woman would steal.

I really hear this! I felt yucky write my original post because how can I accuse my Jewish sisters of having anything but good intentions? Reality though is that we do have to be cautious.

I’ve sold a few gowns there. The people have always come to my house to try it. No way the gown leaves my house without payment.

Just so you know not everyone who contacts you actually has the best intentions

Yup, some creep texted me about whether it's fitted on top, and I knew to block the number thanks to that thread. Sad.
