For lululemon sports bras, Grade A means no visible flaws at arm's length and Grade B means light cosmetic wear that does not affect use. We check band elasticity, strap stitching and whether removable cups are present.
Grade A in this category
Gently used, no visible flaws at arm's length: no holes, stains, heavy pilling or fading. Resells as 'excellent used condition'.
Grade A pieces list at 45–65% of lululemon retail on Poshmark and eBay and sell fastest.
Grade B in this category
Visibly worn but fully wearable: light pilling, minor fading, small marks or a loose thread. No holes or major stains.
Grade B pieces list at 25–40% of retail and suit bin stores, thrift racks and bundle deals.
Common flaws we look for
We check band elasticity, strap stitching and whether removable cups are present.
Pieces with holes, set-in stains, broken zippers or heavy fading are rejected and never shipped in either grade.
Choosing a grade split for your business
Online resellers usually take 70/30 or Grade A only. Thrift racks take 70/30. Bin stores and flea-market sellers take Grade B only for the lowest per-piece cost.
