Hi!
Any help would be appreciated .
What would be a fair price for a chanel reissue 225 in black with RHW 13 series in excellent condition, full set minus the receipt? Is $5000-5300 USD over priced?

Thank you

I recently ordered a 226 from Fashionphile and it was a 225. I returned it and they raised the price $900 and re listed it as a 225.

Wow, you would think they'd own up to their mistake and re-list it as a 226, since it's actually a 226! Sounds like they're being tricky and trying to get rid of the 226, hoping a buyer would be unaware of the size difference or accept as-is.

What's weird is a brand new 226 is of course more expensive, and if I was actually looking for a 226, I would have expected it to be more $$ than a 225 (depending on condition of bag)..

According to my SA, the US doesn’t get many small reissues (225). I find this strange since it’s closest in size to the med classic flap. She told me this before the mini reissues were released so maybe things have changed since, especially since smaller bags have become more popular and are more affordable.

Not sure why I replied to your comment specifically. I meant to say that now that the smaller sized reissues are in higher demand, assuming that boutiques in the US don’t carry the 225 size, demand may drive up the price for the 225 in resale market. Just like mini caviar classic flaps.

No problem! Makes sense prices on resell market is driven by demand.

I prefer the 225 size because it's slightly smaller than a medium CF + more comfortable chain length.

What REALLY bugs me is that the 225 is priced the same as a medium CF.... I understand the sizes are comparable (within + or - 0.5 or 1 cm, in length/width/height) but I feel like it's closer to a small CF instead. Just venting cuz of course, Chanel would want to charge us the more expense med CF price instead of the small CF price.

Yes, I agree! Chanel even calls the 225 size “small.” The bright side is that deals can still be found for the small reissue on the second hand market...Not so much for the medium or small classic flaps! I just bought a small navy reissue with ruthenium hardware from the RealReal. I paid $4536 which is a little less than what I paid for my new small reissue in 2019. Condition was listed as good but I used the sunshine cloth to restore the dull tarnished chains and saphir Renovateur mink oil to condition the leather and now it’s as good as new!

Did you find that the mink oil gave your bag a bit of a shine? Interested, as I've never used it. :)
