Youtube has become a way of earning, for some it is main source of income . Like some YouTubers earn more than 10000$ a month just by posting random come shop with me or what I eat in a day !
Yesterday there was a community post on her channel indicating that she was going to send them to Consignment shop..
So true. Especially here in Germany people have always been very careful with their money and at the moment they are even more frugal. Many luxury items don't get sold at all on the resale market. I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of selling anything luxury at the moment. Whatsmore, you always here stories of buyers trying to claim something went wrong with their purchase and honest sellers have to deal with the consequences.
True ! Irrespective of recession or not .. luxury is super hyped at the moment due to social media, it is not sustainable!
I mean most the items she's offering can be found from other reputable resellers for comparable or better prices.
So sorry for all of the spelling mistakes.
Sales are very slow right now all around I think. I submitted 2 rather popular items to Fashionphile and they won't even quote me because they have too much stock of the same style (even though they don't have the colors I submitted). All the selling groups I'm in also seems to have slowed down. Maybe a summer slump? I feel like Amy should have waited another month or 2 before doing her sale if she wanted those prices. They're pretty high and it seems demand is pretty low. People will probably want to buy again closer to the holidays. Right now people are probably too busy back to school shopping and recovering from vacation spend lol.Honestly, I'm very surprised that Amy hasn't sold more of her items and is even thinking about consigning them now. I just looked at her prices again and for some of the items, she lowered the price by $50, but took out the 'standard shipping included' part worth $50, ie. her eze sandals. So basically, she didn't even reduce price lol. Or she knocked down the prices by (a whopping lol) $10, ie. her manolos, her neverfulls. I don't think she's used to losing any $ selling her items, which is very fortunate on her part. But maybe she'll still make some money or break even on some of her items through consignment, just not as much as if she'd sell them herself? I wonder why people haven't snapped up her items like in her previous "sales". Maybe it's like some of you pointed out that people are more mindful about their spending in this economy
I think the majority of her viewers are outside Canada. They will have to pay for shipping and wait longer to get the bag through customs, and there's no return or exchange after buying. Her pricing is very high, comparable to Fashionphile. I would rather buy from FP. I can use my credit card to get points and if there's something wrong with the bag, I can always return it within 30 days no hassle.
Yes, that's true too, I didn't think of that. I live in a pretty high tax city so often times it does benefit me to buy from a person/reseller instead of Fashionphile to avoid the sales tax, but having to pay international shipping and probably customs too just doesn't make it worth it.
Her channel has become very frantic and exhausting.
I read probably 10 pages of posts in this thread. This is the one that I completely agree and this is exactly how i feel too. Well said!
