I am a vintage buyer. I saw Chanel microchip bag and was not keen at all bcos only Chanel can scan the bags to check for us, but why should Chanel do it for us? There is no financial benefit in doing so.
Some Youtubers mentioned that Chanel may themselves open a resale shop for clients whom want to sell their used bags. This may be good news? As potential buyers can guarantee that the bags they bought are authentic. The uncertainty is - how much these resale bags will be priced? I guess the resale price won't be far from the retail ones from the boutique.
The microchip enables it easier to fake Chanel bags in the second hand market (not under Chanel's resale boutique) since only Chanel can scan for us. This will increase the value of the bags with holograms and authenticity cards as buyers would rather have a peace of mind. However with time, vintage bags may lost their authenticity cards and holograms come off, this will also result in price increase for vintage bags in full set.
There will be 2 sections of the resale market-Chanel resale boutique VS the general resellers eg Fashionphile, TRR etc. Many buyers will sell their bags at the general resellers' as Chanel can track down buyers' information, found out you are a frequent flipper at the Chanel resale boutique you may have trouble acquiring new bags. This in turn drive up the price for bags with holograms and authenticity cards again.
The above is just a guess. But right now I still prefer a peace of mind with hologram and authenticity card.
