You can always try e-bay. I've had success with e-bay, however, lately it's been a little slow.

ebay is a bitch these days but I have managed to sell a few items.....its always worth trying I guess.

There is a big chane they will hit you with a selling restriction if you are selling many of the same brand.

Ebay has a lot of traffic that's why it's good for selling.
My advice is set up and listing and don't revise it, to avoid restrictions (revisions can count as listings)
Also an auction style format is cheaper in end value fees, as BIN listing end prices have jumped dramatically this last month ( 12%).
There are also "trading assistants" on ebay which are like consigners and can sell the bags for you,but of course they take a cut.

If you go onto ebay and search trading assistant,it gives you a list of people. I was think ing of doing this for one of my bags, as I have the dreaded 30 day restriction at the moment. Also I think different sellers offer different % cuts, so good to look around.
You could also try portero.

There is a consignment shop in Beverly Hills and one in Flordia that handles high end bags. They will also buy outright.

This is a link to an Ebay Seller that does consignment. I think they take 30% of the sale price and you have to pay all their related fees. On the plus side they are very nice to deal with. I have bought a couple of bags from them in the past.
