It's a website and/or browser issue -- go to the upper right hand side and select 'sort by newest.' It's defaulting to best value every time but that will fix it. They were listing but lots of people never saw anything go up because of the way it's now sorting.

This is very interesting thank you for sharing. Also my understanding has always been that Sarah started Fashionphile in her garage selling on Ebay initially. What is interesting is that she is not CEO... hmm. Basically they are jumping into a market that makes a practice of overpricing items for resale. Intersting how they believe that will help their business. Do you think this is being pushed by their affiliation with NM?BOF article.
Fashionphile Enters Secondhand Wholesale
With the acquisition of LXRandCo., a Canadian provider of pre-owned luxury handbags, Fashionphile is eyeing its next stage of growth as a B2B resale distributor.www.businessoffashion.com
Am I the only one who thinks the "overstock" Fashionphile is talking about is bad news for the resale market and the values of bags?
And what is this B2B market they are talking about? Won't that lead to over exposure?
Also, with so many people babying their bags so much as well as buying to hold instead of using them down to the cord, the problem is going to get worse...
I agree with your thoughts and have wondered the same thing. IMHO it seems their since they partnered with NM things have changed and not for the better. Just guessing but they probably placed some people in key postions that havent helped either. Again, just a guess. For example, over pricing items and returning items at regular price rather than the reduced prices when they are returned or cancelled.They are drowning in inventory and looking for any means to offload it. Stuff that used to move quickly is just sitting there. I watch their sales closely these days and barely anything moves. I don't entirely blame their business model and lack of customer service the past few years, but also aspects of the economy, too -- people just aren't flush with excess funds. They should have just remained mostly online and grown some stores minimally, and the pairing with Nordies killed them, imho. They're still opening stores and outlets, which is mind-boggling; paying overhead for small spaces in cities where they already have a strong presence, like in the same city as their main warehouse.
This is very interesting. How do they determine this. I have spent TONS of money well before Fashionphile was a thing and never heard of this before. This is actually very offputting that once again they are not consistent with their practices.
I have no clue what the plan is.
Given what is happening in other areas of the luxury market (watches for exemple), to me this smells more like a game of musical chairs, passing the hot potato before sh*t comes down. Who's gonna be caught with all that worthless inventory when the music stops...
But hey, I am no expert here, just my opinion.
VIP clients with Fashionphile can get extra services and access to items before they are placed on the website. For details you can scroll backwards by jumping from quote to quote within the relevant posts.
ETa: didn’t read @nicole0612 ’s explanation before posting
No worries that is the case with everyone Just opinions based on public information especially when they make sense.
Thank you found it. What is funny is Fashionphile has always said EVERYTHING has to be posted on the site. The fact that they have a VIP service is just another example of how their practices have become shady. I had noticed somethings that have been sold to them never make it to the site. knowing this it makes sense. Does anyone know what the criteria is for determining VIP status?
I made VIP off of just one purchase in the mid tens of thousands, so I think it's just a spending minimum
Thank you for making me feel better. They are right I am not a VIP....lol
Does anyone know the best time frame for a reasonable quote? I have some LV bags and jewelry that I would like to sell but not sure if I should submit them now or wait after Christmas
I would submit now and also after the holidays. Sometimes when I resubmit the quotes are much higher and sometimes they are much lower; I think it has more to do with their inventory. Maybe the best time would be after any post-holiday sales. You have some incredible jewelry; I need to set up some new items alerts for Fashionphile before you send in your pieces 🥰
