I work in the medical field so I'm lucky to snatch a few from work. You can buy them on Amazon aslo: https://www.amazon.com/Vestil-SECS-...8&qid=1472675943&sr=8-1&keywords=security+tag

I always wondered why people think these security tags will protect them from scammers or the ones who like to "borrow" things. If someone decides to return the bag cause it's not as described, I am sure Tradesy (and eBay) will make it happen even without security tag on it. It's not me who's making the decision whether to accept return or not in this case. I was thinking of using them, but does it really make any sense? Same with videotaping the process of shipment / packaging. It doesn't work as it's impossible to prove that you didn't replace an item after you stopped videotaping. These things don't protect us agains scam unfortunately:( Someone prove me if I am wrong.

Yep, up to 20% off, but these are final sale items, non-returnable.
I'm always surprised about Tradesy closets' lack of flexibility, either it's shipping or additional info or better pictures. this is kind of job when they repost original listing and say "no, we can't do that" to any request. then it takes up to two weeks to ship.

they lose so much on these returns, they have to resell this stuff and give 20 - 30% discounts on them during these final sales. I can understand why they are not flexible enough in this case. The do have a lot of returns they have to deal with, they pay for return shipping and they sell this stuff with loss. They can't afford to have someone who'd make pics / measurements all day long every day.

I hate these final sales! I remember this Christmas. I was hoping to have such good sales as people buy presents and prepare for holidays. But then they launched their own Christmas clearance with huge discounts for stuff from their closets, and I had lowest sales in December in comparison with all the other months.

they do not protect yo automatically, but it's additional headache for scummers to deal with tags. tags and videos CAN be taken into consideration by Tradesy (not as a solid proof but it can help to form opinion) and will definitely be welcomed by my bank just in case. that's a couple of steps of protection that I'm eager to take, if other people are comfortable throwing $5K+ bags into box and be done that's their choice. with all pros and cons your record as a seller matters a lot. if you are an established seller with a good number of high-end sales that went smoothly and you have generated a good profit for Tradesy they are more inclined to listed to your side of the story. the same is true for buyers. is it a new buyer who, say bought first $4K Chanel and claims SNAD? I believe these things don't matter for eBay, that's why I avoid eBay as a seller.

as for better pictures, Tradesy doesn't retake pictures they just use the same ones from the listing of the return item

but you would think they could bundle sales from their own closet

I know, they used to retake pictures and frankly their pictures were so bad that it's better to use original ones. My point is Tradesy reps from their closets don't put any efforts to SELL items from closets, maybe that's why they have to offer $15-20% discounts and lose money at the end.

+1 I always ship my bags fully stuffed to make them look better. There's nothing worse than seeing a deflated floppy bag that you'd paid 2K for. I also do wish that their own closets give the option for $35 or $8.50 shipping. I'm ok with getting a brown generic box instead of a fancy box with their logo, thought recently had to suck up to paying $35 since it was such a total score from their Abbey closet.

Agreed! I was hoping for a LD weekend promo or some type of sale for my closet. I haven't sold anything in about a week. [emoji853]

No, it doesn't come flattened/folded when purchased directly from LV.
Sorry, I can't tell if this is dry humor or a real question!!

When I was buying Speedy in LV store, they brought it flattened from a store room, like this. They store them this way.
And when I sell / ship Speedy, I also fold it this way like they do in LV and then put in box / dust bag, and I always thought it's the only right way, as in this case it will not come rumpled.

Interesting. If you buy a bag directly from LV, doesn't it come flat and with folds?
