Thank you, I submitted some items and all came back with buyout quotes, but a pair of Tiffany platinum diamond earrings came with a consignment quote only, so I was not sure how to interpret the quote.
Possibly they don't want to out of big chunk of money for a possible slow sale
I don’t mind the consignment quote, I just wanted to know if the quote is what they will list it for or if it is for my portion of the sale if it sells at full price. 30% difference is a lot.
and you always can give them a call to verify
Thank you, I read through it last night, but I can’t find where it explicitly states if the amount given for the consignment quote is before or after the consignment fee. In the past I would’ve given them a call, but for the past year or so I tend to wait on hold for an hour or so and then it just hangs up on me. I can always try again, I’ll let you know if I get through.
Update! I’m shocked, they answered the phone! The consignment estimate given is the seller’s portion of the sale.
Often. You have to watch the website or their Instagram, that's where they post. It seems to happen close to holidays--Mother's Day might mean a sale is coming and Memorial Day for sure.
TY I would like to purchase few Pre loved jewelry like Tiffany and Cartier w all these price increases I think I’m getting a bettter deal from Fashionphile then the boutiques lol
I submitted 6 items for quotes this weekend. Already got quotes back on 5 of them, all Gucci. And the quotes were all reasonable. The one holdout is an LV item. But the Gucci people are efficient!
Keep an eye on the list prices and what they sell for, how long it takes to sell, etc. Not sure what you're looking for, but I've casually watched a few Cartier love bracelets and have noticed that the used condition is only a few hundred dollars less than new from the boutique. And these tend to sell fast if it's a popular size. Once you've stalked their website long enough you'll get an idea for what's priced well or too high for a given item.
I stalk FP like it's my second job lol
Are Birkin bags and Kelly bags lessening in volume on FP? All bags, I suppose.
I used to go through 10-12 pages of newly added bags a day—now it’s more like 5-7. Have the chips in Chanel bags and Hermes minding the resale sights made a difference? Are people afraid to sell? Are they more careful purchasing what they like, not just purchasing to make a profit?

I can't speak to Hermes, but I've been surprised by how many of the newer Chanel bags with the chips show up in new condition on FP. Also, Chanel has made several changes to purchase frequency so that might affect the volume that are sold to FP. Of course with many of the brands FP sells, the items that are new/like new/excellent are inflated higher than retail. FP may also batch list new items by brand because some days there are a few newer (insert brand here) and other days there are hundreds of new items. This is just my hypothesis.
