TRADESY...
lol I didn't even look into tradesy or any other site because I assumed they all operated on the same "quote" basis as yoogis but I will definitely check it out. Thank you [emoji4]

Tradsey is along the same lines as eBay, you post your own listing and price it for what you're willing to let it go for. Although i find Tradsey a safer platform for selling compared to eBay.
Oh yeah, try to sell it yourself, don't even take that offer! You can easily sell yours for more than that on Tradesy and get good money off it! There will always be people looking for speedys and neverfulls, so you shouldn't have an issue at all.
I tried to sell my damier petit bucket to Fashionphile. It had a pouch and I had the straps replaced by LV. It was really in excellent condition; if it weren't for the minor rubs on the bottom (which you had to look really closely for) and the tarnished hardware (which could easily be polished, but I didn't want to touch it), I would say it was almost new. Fashionphile offered a measly $225. The reason why I was so insulted with the offer was because they had several other petit buckets at the same price ($450), but they were in far worse condition.
I get that consignments need to make money, too, but to price my item for the same price as your other items that are in relatively bad shape? I don't think so!I ended up sending it to Yoogi's and they gave me a better buyout quote (although that was probably the only time they gave me a high price quote since they tend to run on the low end, lol).
ive notice fashionphile has been giving me VERY low quotes in general this month. Every two months or so I submit some things to them.... Something tells me they are in hot water
I agree 100%
eBay for $200 & under and Tradesy for anything over $200.
That's how I play it safe.. Tradesy seems to have a lot less scamming since they have returns sent to them etc...

Thank you very much for the info! [emoji2]
If you look at some of their their selling prices for handbags, it seems to be lower than the item would sell for on eBay, when usually these sites sell for more, due to allowing returns etc. so perhaps their low offers are due to planning to sell at a low/"competitive" price as well as needing to make their % commission. Do you think the company is having financial difficulties?
Update: Tradesy fixed the shipping notice and I should be getting the bag today. So she really did ship it on Sunday! hehe. Makes me feel better about her integrity. My pictures show up now too.
I'll let you know more once I receive the bag
Hopefully it's as described.

They've recently moved to a much bigger facility in SoCal, so I highly doubt they're in hot water.
It could be that their stock is not moving as quickly. Even as an independent seller, I can tell that these months are my "dry" months. Nothing moves unless it's a smaller item (less than $500). People tend to save and splurge around the holidays, so maybe try to consign around that time. I tend to be strategic with my consignment items. I consign the most around December, always have gotten the best quotes then, and I always do a check on their inventory. If they have a couple of the same items that I am trying to consign, I try to hold out until that stock moves. More than likely, they'll offer you a super low price if they already have two in stock and neither is moving.
Great to know!Update: Tradesy fixed the shipping notice and I should be getting the bag today. So she really did ship it on Sunday! hehe. Makes me feel better about her integrity. My pictures show up now too.

Another weird thing happened with my sold bag. I told you guys before that one bag that I sold with minor signs of wear was returned and relisted by Tradesy with more damage. they said I have nothing to worry about and released my funds timely.
Tradesy did sale on Labor day and the bag was sold for 20% off by Abbey R. Today it popped up again listed by Abbey R. IF it was returned, return window is 4 days and Tradesy relists returns immediately, right? also they relisted it for higher price than I listed.
another interesting thing that the buyer who bought this bag from me in late July seemed to be a private seller, now when I checked she has closet full of items and 118 items sold since August (I wish I perform that well LOL). among her sold items there are several bags from the same line of the same brand that my bag.
I can't make much sense of it except my bag was switched. then why Tradesy accepted return from second buyer 1 month later and increased price on it? Is it still my bag or they are using my listing and my pictures for someone else's bag?...

Question - how can you tell it was 118 items sold since July? Sounds to me that it was sold twice and returned twice. Once from you and once from Abbey R. closet. I dont think they relist immediately. I did a return on tradesy for credit and it wasnt relisted until about two weeks after it arrived to their facilities.
I don't think they list returns right away. I think the buyer has to send the return to Tradesy, they make sure there isn't additional damage or switch-a-roo and then they re-list it. At least that's what I've seen for items I've returned.
Weird situation though. I can only guess maybe they are Tradesy and they bought to sell it? Was it priced really low?
I got my Speedy....are you guys ready? 
It was in amazing condition! What a steal!!

It's good to know Tradesy doesn't relist returned items right away. re to price: retail price was $1900, I sold it for $950, Tradesy relisted for the same price then sold it for $760 (20% off), now it's listed for 1150. it's still a good price but who knows about condition now if it's the same bag at all.
I know because I checked that buyer's closet if it's not fraudulent account (she didn't have first name and her address was weird but I shipped the bag anyway using Tradesy label). about 3 items were sold by then, nothing listed.
if it takes Tradesy 2 weeks to relist and maybe the second buyer didn't pick it up from USPS for a week or so it makes sense.
