maybe it's exit for venture capitalists and the buyer will be an equity firm. it was quite significant investment though $70M+30M+30M.
IDK, maybe Vestiaire collective can absorb them, they always wanted to expand in US (it's French company with most of their business in EU).
two biggest cosigners in the market are Realreal and Fashionphile. maybe Fashionphille given that they are doing well and are located nearby in CA.

VC makes sense as Tradesy is more in line with their model than the other two.

I was also wondering about VC, since it is the most similar business that I could think of. It is also similar in poor customer service and questionable designer authentication ;)
A business like Fashionphile occurred to me as well, but don't they only sell designer brands? Though maybe that could be part of the reason for the big sell-off now; clearing out the other brands? I know the RealReal sells many brands though.

But aren't FP and TRR straight consignment sites? Unlike VC and PM they would have no use for individual sellers. IMO FP can barely hold their own doing what they do. Even though they moved to bigger digs in Carlsbad they are still facing stiff competition from AFF and YC.

Tradesy has operations, though poorly run, and site. Customer service is somehow working, image cleaners and integrity team are there. but platform itself is useless. it makes sense if private equity firm splits Tradesy, they liquidate returns by sending it to Realreal. and restructured office with customer support and other teams joins VC making their North American branch.

can anyone kindly give me examples / links to security tags you're using? there are so many of them, I don't know what to buy, which ones are the best and impossible to remove without damaging it? I remember we discussed it in the past, but can't find it
are these ones safe enough? https://www.amazon.com/Vestil-SECS-...8&qid=1479898887&sr=8-4&keywords=security+tag

I know some of them have personal numbers and a place to write a note, but can't find anything like that

yc and aff are tiny operations in comparison to fp. no comparison, really. fp also has storefronts so they have multiple streams of revenue. the fact that anne personally messages you when you buy a bag or consign tells you just how small that operation is. she has a few employees wheras fp has hundreds and hosts trainings and seminars for fashion industry people. i think fp and trr are much more similar. trr seems to be a powerhouse and their prices are incredible, not sure how they sell designer for so little.

I just applied but once they figure out that the items in my ebay account are already on Tradesy, they probably won't accept me!

did they call you back about it? I sent several letters (to support and directly to both sales managers who emailed me about Tradesy for business this summer), I call them every day (to direct numbers of same managers). NOBODY answers!!
