Anyone Ever Buy and/or Sell on Tradesy?

LOL, there is a Chanel tweed bag on Thredup Luxe right now, they want $1700 for it.
I assume these are all consignment, if somebody buys this with one of their 40% off discount codes, does the seller take the hit? Tradesy used to eat the discount with their promos, early on.

These discounts are one of the problems with selling on RealReal. They lowball the sellers anyway, and then there are these 20% discounts almost daily. But RealReal is another one who really moves stuff.

seller will still get full amount, it's an investment thredup luxe makes to build reputation and attract new buyers who are interested in high-end fashion. just like Tradesy at the beginning (oh, those times..

TRR takes HUGE fee to my opinion, and set quite low prices. can you set your prices there? thredup allows to change prices if you don't agree with the ones they offer

and just in case - no, I don't work for them

don't see it, someone added it in their cart I guess (maybe YOU!)
I don't like this system they have - when someone adds item to their card, it's gone from site for several hours
they could keep it visible and just mark it as "reserved", it would help to make more sales as ppl would see all they have, not just some part

Thredup Luxe has a number of NWT items from St John Knits, with really low prices. I can see why all the ebay resellers are being pushed out of business, there is no market in reselling anything but the very highest-end items anymore. It used to be impossible to get a new St John jacket for anything under $300.

OMG it must have just sold!!! If it were just in someone's cart, you would see it but it would say "unavailable". It was similar to the pic attached.

with 40% off, that Chanel bag would have been $1000. But it looked a little used, TU had it identified as "gently used". I think us sophisticated TPF users can find bags like that, elsewhere.

I have a St. John dress I've been trying to sell for months. I wonder how much they would give me for it. It's used and vintage.

I don't see items that are in someone's cart, like at all. I just see that some items disappear and appear again later all the time. I can see it's in cart only if I have direct link to an item. and same with my own items, they are visible in search / in designer's selection only when they are not in someone's cart

I wish they'd have more advertising or something. cause I don't understand why nobody needs my beautiful almost mint CL Pigalle for just $240? (with their 40% discount). they would go in minutes for this price on eBay or Posh

An item that delivered on the 6th is being returned. It already shows in Abbey Road's closet. Now I have to worry that Tradesy will decide my description wasn't accurate.

It made it to that closet awfully fast! The buyer was in Florida. Even if she returned it the next day, they probably didn't get it until today. The last return I had, it didn't show up in any of Tradesy's closets for about 10 days.

maybe she returned same day and they got it a couple of days ago. we'll never know it for sure but they usually move items to their wardrobes when they are keeping them. I have an item delivered 9 days ago though and still nothing and it's not in their closet

I have another item that is on day 9 and still not released, but it is an international sale so I suspect that is why. My previous sale was released on the 9th day.

i made a mistake on the name I was asking about authenticity. The name of the seller is Coco Closet. They are out of Ohio. Has anyone purchased from them? Do they sell authentic?
Thanks

I’m not familiar, I’ll check them out to see if they trade internationally or just US

I've come across this site several times when browsing the internet. The other day, there was a large banner across the top of tPF. I'd like to think that this means tPF endorses the website, but I realize it could mean that they just paid to advertise on tPF

It seems promising -- comparable to ebay. They charge sellers 9% of the sales price + Paypal's 2.9%. One nice thing is that they cover the shipping charges. You set your asking price, and they tack on an additional amount for shipping. Once your item sells, they send out a prepaid shipping kit and within 24 hours of sending your item out, they release your money. Sounds simple enough, until I saw what they were charging for shipping!

I listed one of my bags on the site to see how it would go. I set an asking price of $1750. Once they tacked on the shipping costs, the sales price went up to $1882 -- $132 for shipping? Where in the world did they come up with that figure? Even with insurance, I've never paid anywhere near that amount! And they use USPS. My guess is that it's a prepaid label similar to the labels you receive when doing a merchandise return. I just don't understand that price!! And nowhere on the site does it explain how they calculate the shipping costs. You just enter your asking price, and they add on the shipping and give you a total sales price.

Anyone else ever buy and/or sell with them? Thoughts? Experiences?
