understood, but to the end it's just a bag and it is an expensive bag, you may want to ask yourself will it be OK if someday you decided to sell and can't sell it or say lose 2/3 of its value, if you are OK with that, then that's an easy decision.

Dang this is my first rejection ever from Fashionphile. I’ve literally never had an LV rejected from them lol.
They do have 5 of the same color in stock but that doesn’t seem like a lot to me? They’re definitely getting pickier.

I had the same issue with a Givenchy Bag and Chanel!!!! I have never had a rejection from Fashiohphile. I called to see why and they said they have too many at this time.
You can try again at another time. I had an item rejected then later accepted.
a wild guess, the leather version doesn’t sell well and they don’t want to give you an insulting low quote since you are an experienced seller you probably get quotes from other consignments too then make no sense to give you a very low quote knowing you won’t take it
if was me, Id sell it to the highest bidder if really need money now, or hold onto it and keep it in the market selling till you get the price worth it, LV is working towards leather bags to compete with Hermes Chanel, it will take time, but I think it will get there

TFS your experience! I've had a few rejected recently and they were new. Times are tough economically, I think sales have slowed for FP and they're just not taking on as much inventory. Try again in a few months or see what another company says.
Too much supply and not enough demand. This would normally make prices fall, but they've probably already invested too much in what they have.
I had sent several clear pictures of my 15 year old Chanel Jumbo flap in immaculate condition and the authenticity card, original dust bag care card etc. I sent them pictures of corners, hardware , inside every detailed photo. Its a single flap caviar leather SHW. After a week they wrote to me that they cannot accept my bag. I was shocked. They did not even give a low ball offer. I even have the repair receipt where I fixed the leather strap intertwined into metal had come undone. It was from Chanel boutique. Anyone has any idea why they rejected it? They did not give a reason why but just said "Sorry, we cannot accept this Chanel" It is the model or they doubt authenticity" Said "this Chanel" Just curious......

I read in a thread that it’s because they have too much stock and sales have slowed.
I wonder if this will make them have a sale soon since they’re sitting on so much stock that’s not moving.
Same here……Received my first rejection.
New LV item too. I think they have too many right now.

I have seen FP has posted some bags at low prices lately, so maybe it's a good time to buy but not a great time to sell. I was drooling over some bags they posted, such as a couple of brand new Totally monogram tote at $1,100; brand new Milla MM PM in black leather GHW at $2,100, today saw a like new 2021 Capucines BB for $2,500, gulp gulp...
When Fashionphile gives a quote for consignment, is that the price they will pay out when it sells (assuming no discounts) or is that the price they will list it at on the website (so need to subtract 30% for the 1st 3k etc from the number they give)? Thanks.
To rebuild a bit that was lost last night:
Someone commented that Fashionphile's buyback program may be affecting their ability to buy items from others because they are obligated to honor those buyback quotes first. Which I completely agree with.
I posted that I had received a wallet from them described as "excellent" but clearly they hadn't cleaned it and I found an LV padlock key buried deep in one of the pockets. I feel they don't clean their items anymore before they resell them. Also I believe their excellent rating is now closer to very good, and they're very good rating is closer to very used.

I'm not sure because I haven't done their consignment in a long time. I normally just take a buyout at this point. I believe the amount they quote you is what you will get after they sell the item assuming no discounts.
