How much does a pair of worn knickers earn in Switzerland? Prices and ranges
The question of price is legitimate and deserves honest benchmarks, without exaggerated promises. The ranges below are indicative and specific to the Swiss market, in Swiss francs. They vary according to presentation, rarity, personalisation and the relationship established with the buyer. See them as orders of magnitude, not as guaranteed rates.
Indicative ranges in CHF
On the Swiss market, a standard piece frequently sits in a range of the order of 30 to 60 CHF. A particularly polished presentation, a sought-after material or a specific length of wear can bring the price up to 60 to 120 CHF. Personalised requests, remaining within the house's elegant register, can go beyond that.
These figures are not guarantees. They depend on your positioning, the consistency of your offering and the trust built with your clientele.
What really drives the price
Value is no accident. Several factors weigh in:
- Presentation: polished photographs and well-chosen writing justify a premium positioning.
- Material and cut: lace, silk and sought-after pieces command more.
- Personalisation: length of wear or specific requests, always within the elegant framework.
- Rarity: a curated rather than abundant offering supports prices.
- The relationship: a loyal and respectful clientele values consistency and trust.
Neither underselling nor overpricing
Two pitfalls await the beginner. The first is underestimating yourself for lack of benchmarks: too low a price devalues your work and attracts a less respectful clientele. The second is setting high amounts from the outset without a presentation to match.
The right path is to start in the middle of the range, observe the reactions, then adjust. Consistent quality allows you, over time, to move up-market with peace of mind.
The role of direct payment and getting paid
The advertised price is only worth something if it is actually collected, without delay. Direct payment means the buyer settles to your own address: you get paid the moment the purchase is made, with no deposit waiting to be released and no withdrawal to request. Settlement in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin and Lightning via Lightning) preserves your banking anonymity. You set a price, you are paid immediately, and your discretion remains intact.
How much can you realistically make?
We remain cautious: this activity provides a supplementary income rather than a fortune. The actual amount depends on the time invested, the quality of your offering and your consistency. Some sellers pleasantly top up their income; no one should commit on the strength of spectacular earnings. Remember, finally, that this income may be subject to declaration — a subject we address in a dedicated article.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No. They are indicative ranges specific to Switzerland. The actual price depends on your presentation, on rarity and on the relationship with the buyer.
Can I charge more for a personalised request?
Yes, provided it stays within the platform's elegant register. Personalisation is a legitimate factor in adding value.
In what currency am I paid?
In cryptocurrency, via Bitcoin and BTCPay, which preserves your anonymity. The payment arrives directly at your own address, as soon as the purchase is made, with no intermediary.
Is it a real income or merely a top-up?
Realistically, it is a supplementary income. We advise against banking on exceptional earnings. Bear in mind, too, any possible tax obligations.
