Good place to sell ball dresses?

Does anyone know where is a good place to sell ball dresses? In the UK. I'm in north wales so north wales and the north west of England or online is best.

I need space in my wadrobe and conciquently have about 10 ball/prom dresses that need selling.

They vary in cost (what I paid for them) between £160 and £500 so not cheap dresses.

Ebay is useless as second hand dresses are selling for £5 or less and I'd rather hang onto than accept that for them.

any ideas?

Anyone who suggests ebay will be given an automatic thumbs down.

Update:

I'm not looking for cheap places to advertise, I want a good price for what are some pretty expensive dresses. I probably spent in excess of £3000 to buy them and I am not going to sell them for £10 each which is what I would get on ebay.

    Because your dresses are expensive you'd be better off reaching a good price advertising in a local paper, I sell many of my designer items that way and it always reaches a better price than ebay, not sure where you are located but here in the UK I use Ad trader and my local city's ads paper. Most people (if local) will gladly pick them up (be safe ofcourse) Good luck!

    ebay IS the cheapest option. (I know you dont like it, but read on) Look at it from the other side, would you want to spend say £ 50 on a dress on ebay?, BUT putting in a link to where it came from is always good.

    if you offer it else where, they will want a % commision, advertising in the local paper rarely works

    I know you are in Wales, as i read the whole of your question. unlike others

    Try Ebay. And put a reserve price so that you dont have to sell below your acceptable price.
