I don't have 50...lol

There are a few sellers on eBay that have been selling for years brand new Gucci etc. They have hundreds of listings constantly and thousands of sales. I've always wondered how they got so many.

I've wondered the same thing! After that one girl who got caught and sent to jail for buying authentic purses and returning them with fakes and selling the authentic ones for profit, I'm a bit more weary!!

Although some outlets set limits to the number and types of items customers/resellers can buy in quantity, some buyers have connections, some have friends and family help them shop and others just love to shop for deals and resell for a profit.

Although there will always be shoplifters, tag switchers, dishonest retail customers (like Loukpeach) and sellers of fakes (knowingly or not), not every seller with multiple items is dishonest.

I agree. I am a compulsive shopper and if I find a good sale I'm even worse. I have sold many NWT items on TRADESY because it was an impulse buy and it was never used. I have a brand new leather Coach bag and a leather MK bag that are beautiful but not my style ( the MK bag is very heavy) so they sat in my closet for 8 months still with tags.
Sometimes people are just cleaning out their closet. ;)

Haha, me too, I'm an impulse shopper and I simply can't know if the bag will work with my outfits and fit my lifestyle. I'm eager to try something new or collect the same bag in the best colors.
Then it turns out the bags are just sitting on the shelves and I realize I won't use them even if I like the design. It's hard to let them go though:smile:

Yup
I typically visit my local nordstrom rack at least once a week and I always see the same lady there with tons of bag in her cart (At least 10). not sure that she buys them all but i go on different days right after work so it's typically the same time and shes literally always there buying in bulk. I figure if she buys at least 15 bags a week thats 60 bags a month... She must be reselling and i'm sure there must be others doing the same thing!

Can someone tell me how you guys search for items?

I've never bought on Tradesy (just sell from my personal collection) so today I go on to search for an older style Chanel flap that I want. I typed in "Chanel pink bag" and the page loads a bunch of pink Chanel bags. Now I'm only interested in seeing the newly listed ones (the older listings are all really overpriced or the bag is badly abused). So I filter the search by newly listed and the items that pop up aren't even Chanel?!? Wtfffff How do you gals navigate the search option?

I would select Chanel first as brand, then Bags, then Pink, then sort to recent listings. To maximize the search results, I usually don't drill down to shoulder or crossbody since you never know what sellers themselves categorize the item as such.

Tradesy search function has been improved substantially in the past several months but ppl still kinda need to know how to optimize the results. Their search query isn't great win free wording searching like Chanel pink bag. Best to use their filters to narrow down the results.

For privacy reasons, I can't go into the story yet, but I will share latter. I am grateful for Tradesy because I was able to flip my purses and redo my collection. I am basically done with selling now. I actually feel burnt out, and I am happy with my long term or forever bags. Good luck with your adventure on selling your bags. All of my sales on Tradesy have went well. I have just learned how cutthroat sellers are to compete with that sell similar bags. I have also learned how sellers lie in their listening by them selling bags I have sold to them. I just know more about resale market than before I started which is a good thing. I only had one bad buyer that was on EBay. My selling experience reiterated to me that many people are very nice; however, a lot of people do change when money is involved.

Thanks! I did just that and it worked. I decided to not filter the color either, seems like a lot of sellers don't even categorize a color in their listings.

And the search/stalking begin...
