I've been doing business with FP for about 7 years. I liked going into their boutique on Maiden Lane in SF (the first one upstairs). I liked the customer experience and felt the pay out option was fair. I did lose $$ on some seasonal Chanels, which was hard lesson learned. However, they paid well on other pieces like LV. As of Feb this year, I was not happy with recent quotes and the customer service. I had a recent experience with TRR that didn't leave a good taste in my mouth.

All in all, I still prefer FP for authenticity and business transactions.

So I just received a buy out quote and there is also an item that I want to purchase on their site. I know if I sell for FF credit I get a higher percentage. Do I have to wait till they receive my item and process it before I get that credit? Basically I am concerned about losing the item that I want to purchase. Is there someway to secure the item that I want to purchase and still use the buy out funds that I will receive?

You could try calling them. Is the item available for reserve yet? It will be after five days, you could pay the first payment and use your credit for the balance. But they may hold for you if you explain the situation. It’s worth a try.

Not sure on your question, but fyi on the Instagram page they have the watch authenticators talking about their process. In case you're interested:smile:

One thing about watch is I thought it's a dying industry, ever since had the iwatch, I don't wear any other watch, can't wear two watches on the wrist can we? hahah

I prefer Yoogiscloset at this point. On many items their quotes are higher than Fashionphile. I have never had an issue with items getting lost, slow payment or questioning authenticity when it came to them. I just feel more confident with them these days.

Yeah, Yoogi used to be the lowest offers, but they have been given much higher quotes this year, some of them even 10% to 15% higher than FP!

I made a purchase (a really high one) and it was shipped by next day UPS air, guaranteed before 12pm, which I didn't pay for. Is this normal for the higher dollar amounts? I didn't intend to cancel, but the fact it was shipped within maybe an hour and by air seems like maybe they didn't want the item cancelled? I checked the tracking number and it already left New Jersey. Is this their normal practice above a certain dollar amount? Hopefully I'll like it b/c I don't want to feel guilt returning it.

yes, happened to me before too, I meant status said shipped minutes within purchased, forgot what item(s) was it

100%. I was just discussing this with someone last week. I only wear an eco-watch for the past several years; luxury brands still use batteries which seems so ancient!

I only buy automatic models these days. Rolex is only automatic and Chanel J12 is automatic for 38mm and bigger. I think most Cartier are quartz. Batteries cheapen a brand IMO.
