How selling works

1
Photograph it and set a price
A few photos in daylight, your size and degree level, and a price. We suggest a realistic range based on what similar regalia sells for.
2
Students at your university see it
Your listing appears on your university's page, where buyers are already searching for their size — not lost in a national classifieds feed.
3
Print the label we buy for you
When it sells, we purchase the shipping label and email it to you. Print, tape, drop off. Tracking updates the order automatically.
4
Get paid after it arrives
The buyer's payment is held by GradSwap until they confirm the item arrived, then your full asking price lands in your bank account.

What you can sell

Bachelor's, master's and doctoral gowns, caps and mortarboards, tassels, honor cords and stoles, hoods, class rings and graduation gifts. If it was part of your ceremony and it is still in good shape, someone graduating next needs it.

Questions students ask

How much is a used graduation gown worth?: Most caps and gowns resell for a third to half of the retail price — usually $30 to $60 for a bachelor's set, more for master's and doctoral regalia with hoods. You set your own price, and buyers can make offers.
Where can I sell my cap and gown?: GradSwap is built for exactly this: students at your own university buy the regalia they need for their ceremony. Listing is free, and your listing shows up on your university's page where the people who need your size are already looking.
How do I get paid?: The buyer pays through GradSwap, not to you directly, and the money is held until the item is delivered and confirmed. Then your full asking price goes to your bank account automatically — GradSwap's 7% + $0.50 fee is paid by the buyer, not deducted from you. Nothing to chase, and no cash meetups with strangers.
Do I have to ship it myself?: You drop it off. When an order is paid we buy the shipping label for you — you print it, tape it on the parcel and leave it at the carrier. Tracking updates the order on its own, and the buyer paid the shipping cost at checkout.
Is it free to list?: Yes, and selling is free too — you keep 100% of your asking price. There is no listing fee, no monthly fee, and nothing deducted when it sells. GradSwap's 7% + $0.50 fee is added to the buyer's total instead.
