@ccbaggirl89 , I totally agree with you. Used to have a 10% coupon for everything. Things have changed a lot nowadays. I did check their sale today but hardly anything draw my attention.

It seems that FP has promotions more often, but the discounts differ. Sometimes its 10% flat, sometimes it's a stepped discount (like $200 off $2000, $300 off $3000) and sometimes it's just a discount for a specific category of bags (i.e. bags that haven't been selling and are not popular).

They must've used that one recent promo (end of January or last month) to clear out their Outlet stuff. There used to be hundreds of items and lately there are only 4 or 5. Most of those items were damaged or in overall poor condition. IIRC they used to auction off the duds on eBay

Oh wow. There are 2 items. Maybe they are no longer going to have that section. I've never bought an outlet item from them but they one time (like 5 years ago) bought an item from me they said would be for the outlet - it had a major tear in a seam.

That could be
NM has been phasing out their B&M Last Call locations so :shrugs:
I had no idea that FP actively bought outlet quality items for resale---no offense :flowers:
Perhaps this is going to be their model going forward----post 19

I don’t see what the big deal is. Typical sales tactic. Not surprised.

I remember when they used to have an Ebay outlet. It's been several years since. I don't think they have been buying outlet quality items for a while- probably since they partnered with NM. Last summer I sent pics of a LIKE NEW Chanel bag and they flat out rejected it and gave me ridiculous reasons. With their operational costs, it isn't worth their time to scrap to sell outlet quality bags since they have so much volume now.

What kind of the Chanel bag was it? I have seen them recently listed some well worn ones and for quite high prices.

It was a black Jumbo in caviar leather. At first they said it was because the bag was dyed (it was not). It is in like new condition since I've only used it 5 times. I am the original owner and purchased in Paris.

That is super weird! because I have seen them listed bags been dyed even if it was dyed. try resummit it after a month or two?
P.S. I went to take a look, they have 77 search result as " caviar jumbo flap" classic and not classic, my guess is there are too many of this particular style, I would hold off resumit or summit to other consignments

I tried sell two Hermes twillies with tags and boxes to fashionphile last week. Both are from the 2021 collections. But Fashionphile told me they cannot accept these. That’s super weird. Anyone has similar experiences?

Kind of. Not twillys, but I've had a few 'we won't accept this item' the past few weeks. They were all brand new and had everything so I was puzzled - the items were not on their site. I think they have too much inventory and might not be buying as much as before.

I also think they had spent lots of money buying Chanel & Hermes so they may not buying as much other brands as they used to, I had a like brand new one of the super hot LV bags summited to them, they had two in the same condition both were listed over $2,000 and they refused to quote me, so I summited to another consignment and in hand $1,350, and that consigment sold it within a week of listing it. Telling ya, weird.

I'm wondering if because of the current problems with inflation and gas prices if people aren't buying luxury items as much as they used to? I'm wondering if Fashionphile is feeling the pinch and getting nervous about having too much inventory and not enough sales. I recently sold them something but it was a buyback so I had the feeling they felt obliged to take it, especially since they've been sending me offers and reminders about it.

Has anyone been following items that appear to be sold and then are available again within a few days? Obviously people return items but I have noticed this with many high $ items (over $30k). I think Fashionphile may remove them and then repost? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me as some of them were not discounted prior to resisting so maybe just a coincidence but noticed it happening a lot lately.
