I noticed a lot of the croc/alligator/himalayan Hermes stuff came back recently. Fashionphile uses a lot of bags and jewelry for their IG stories and when they do programs, so perhaps some ultra-expensive items are taken down for photo shoots, IG videos, staff trainings, etc. and then re-listed when they are finished filming with them? Just guessing.

Yes, I have noticed that as well. A few bags, scarves and jewelry items I was following would sell (or at least be removed from the site) and then come back in a few days. I agree, it's strange that it seems to be happening in such volume.
On a more general note, I think FP has priced a lot of their inventory at very high prices. That may have worked when the government was handing out money left and right and people had lots of extra cash during the pandemic. But people are feeling the pinch now with crazy inflation and gas prices. So FP has to be feeling the pinch as well. They have A LOT of inventory (or so it seems to me), but it is all priced at or above retail...and it is just sitting.
I've had this happen recently as well. Not accepting NWT items that are current and also insanely low offers on the things they would take.
this is exactly what happened to me with my VCA pieces. I am waiting to get my pieces back, I should be getting them back Tuesday. Of course I am unable to pick it up at a hub, so I am going to miss the signature requirement.

Has anyone ever sent in luxury watch before and what was the actual processing time like? I know on the website it says longer processing time up to 10 days for fine jewelry and watch. But just wondering the real experience? I sent in a luxury watch, delivered last Tuesday but the status still says "Processing".
I have. They processed most of my watches within a few days. The one watch that took a long time was rejected due to "brand compliance." I wouldn't sell jewelry or watches to them again.
I haven't consigned watches, but I have consigned a fair amount of fine jewelry. Typically items are processed in a few days. The one item that took forever was ultimately rejected, similar to caannie above.
I just accepted an offer from fashionphile - does fashionphile insure the bag that is being sent to them? What happens if it gets lost or damaged on the way to them? Thanks!
So, I bought an item 2 days ago (it has shipped already) -- an item that hasn't been listed on their site in quite some time. And then today they listed another of the exact same item, and it's in the exact same condition, and is $800 less. I can't find any differences at all between the item I purchased and the one that was listed today and I have to say I'm a bit bummed. 
If this was an item from a store I'd go get a price adjustment or return the item outright. Has this ever happened to any of you? -- what would you do? I mean $800 is a big amount that could go towards another item and I'm really miffed that one would come on that is less than the one I bought; I thought their algorithm got slightly higher each time and not lower.

Wow I don’t know what to say, that is pretty crazy!So, I bought an item 2 days ago (it has shipped already) -- an item that hasn't been listed on their site in quite some time.

I have noticed in the last few days they have listed some items at lower than market prices. I am not interested in buying from them at this time, but even I have been tempted by some of these prices. I wonder if they need to get some money in quickly. Would it be possible for you to buy the lower priced item and return the one that you purchased?So, I bought an item 2 days ago (it has shipped already) -- an item that hasn't been listed on their site in quite some time.

I was thinking the same. If you can, buy the lower priced one and send back the other.
Thank you for the advice.
I did it. I went ahead and bought the lower one and the one that already shipped will go back. The difference came out to $878. I feel a bit bad I had to do this, but I'm shopping preloved for a few reasons and one is to get a good price.@nicole0612 I have noticed a slight reduction/normalization of prices the past few days, too, so perhaps they are trying to move items faster.
