I have always lost money but i view it as anything back is better than the 100 percent loss of the money sunk into a bag your not using

I agree. If I can get 50-75% (depending on condition) of the original value then I take that as a win. It makes me more money than sitting in my closet collecting dust.

Which is how it always has been until the past couple of years of over inflated prices.

Such a good way to look at it

This is a normal market. The inflated prices of recent years was a bubble. This is what happens when a bubble bursts.

I agree. During the pandemic I sold a lot of bags, it has definitely slowed down.

Who would have thought pandemic would drive the luxury resale market 🤣🤣🤣 now here we are back at normality!

Very true, it definitely created a bubble!

I think lux brands heavily increasing their prices has also slowed the market. You can't reap huge profits on the resale market off hot items when they're so eye-wateringly expensive in store. Like the LV xmas animation SLGs used to sell out almost immediately online and would end up on the re-sale market for twice the price. Not any more

I do agree with that, some of the price rises are crazy

Thankfully never felt the need to sell but I have bought from Connor at Conrad’s Closet several times and I think if I was to sell a bag, it would be that way. I’d hate the stress of it all! Let the professionals handle it.

Agree with letting professionals deal with it!

I just sold a tweed Chanel bag through a buy out with an online consigner because it was on several sites for almost a year without any offers that would give me more money than the buy out. So sometimes it’s better to do a buy out.

Yes, this is crazy. I just got a quote from Rebag for a Chanel vanity case. I bought the bag in 2021 for $5000 before tax. Guess how much they offered for that bag? I could not believe my eyes when I saw the number. $1675 is their buyout price.

That’s better than they offered me for a $5k bag that they less than $900 … and it’s in pristine condition and on their “most wanted” list!

Honestly, I wouldn’t even mention eBay as an option. They are so heavily geared towards the buyer that it’s just too risky as a seller with designer goods. Sellers are just told to refund buyers under the most ridiculous circumstances and I’ve known sellers who have ended up with no bag and no money. It’s fine for inexpensive items but not for individual sellers with high value items.

I have been selling my handbags on ebay for the last few years and I disagree. I have rarely lost money on reselling via ebay and have profited on certain brands like Chanel and goyard. I had an issue with a dishonest buyer once and ebay sided with me. As long as you follow their policies, you should be fine. I have not found it risky. I recently resold a goyard bag and recovered all of my money where as fashionphile was offering me 30% less! For me, ebay has been great!

People have more peace of mind purchasing from a business than an individual seller. I have bought from FP but will only sell on eBay. It’s really not much hassle to upload some pics and write a description…but I have done this quite frequently. I can understand that someone who is not used to selling, lacks a seller history would find the process of selling overwhelming.
