I’m sorry you’ve experienced it and under $1000 is very low indeed. But I think it’s very much due to the recent scandal. I’m October 22 you’d get much higher quote indeed. Balenciaga right now is like that child with lice at your school nobody wants to play with.
Maybe you should wait a year or so? It’ll get better.
I agree with this. It can’t go any lower. I would try it with MyGemma, TRR, FP and others while waiting it out. I believe it will go back up after the scandal but it’s too soon
 
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. Yeah I’m just going to keep it if I don’t get a fair price for it. It’s so pretty to look at on my shelf lol Uou can always take your bag out to dinner and keep it on a chair or table so it’s not hurting your back perhaps!

I do have low back hardware, but the surgery that took me out was the 7 level cervical fusion. Almost three years now and I'm still struggling. Hubby and I haven't been out to eat in over 3 years. COVID was never taken seriously here, so we only do carryout even now. Honestly, my outings are limited to grocery shopping and (of course) medical appointments. Yeah, exciting life I have these days. :whut:
 
I dont have experience withI've never really thought balenciaga held its resale value as much as some other brands. I bought a city bag couple of years ago for around £300 which would gave been around a 5th or 6th of the price for a new one at the time and it was in good condition. I think with the recent controversies lots of people are selling balenciaga and less people are looking to buy as wel so there's a supply and demand issue. And I've heard the resale market isn't as good at the moment for a lot of brands because of the economy. Its maybe not the best time to sell for a good price it might be worth holding on to it for a bit if you can unless you get a decent offer or selling yourself rather than through a store as they do tend to lowball offers.
 
The issues with the ad campaigns I think unless something else has happened that I missed. There's a thread on here about it if you want to fall down that rabbit hole

Thanks for posting the link. I wasn't about to read 51 pages of drama though, so I copied the first post describing the "controversy" issue and Googled it. Between the "M&M's Melodrama" and this, I'm firmly convinced that some people have WAAAAAAAAY too much time on their hands. :facepalm:
 
I haven’t sold that many bags, so I don’t have a ton of experience ~ but I did recently sell a few of my LVs ( more Balenciaga money :biggrin: ). Yoogi’s was my lowest offer. The best offers on ALL the items was “Bag, Borrow, or steal“. Just a thought to try there if you haven’t already. Good luck!!
 
Yoogi’s offered me so little for few amazing bags, I will never again bother with sending them photos and descriptions, just to get embarrassing news in few days.
 
this is a supply and demand market - and they also want to make money on top. Balenciaga is hard to move these days, but I submitted a quote for a Le Cagole prior to the controversy, and also received a low quote. This is a tough market for resale of anything other than specific Hermes, Chanel and LV. They account for that in their quotes.

I agree with you but the outrage I saw online was so strong and quite long. Celebrities and Influencers now say of course I’d never wear B ever again, can’t support children pornographers.
So I’m not surprised that a very new and trandy bag would get such a low price. I wouldn’t be surprised if they refused to sell it at all.

I actually don't consider that as "scandal", it was just design and some people interpreted it an offensive meaning. Nowadays companies / people are so easily get into trouble from unintentional oversight.
 
Whatever the scandal, the all-time low Bal resale is real ATM, as well as more pre-loved Bal on the market. It's such a shame because most Bal isn't logo-fied, just really nice bags bought and made before last year's fiasco (and it was a fiasco IMO).

Even selling privately, you'll incur huge losses. If you wanted to wear your bag for a few occasions and enjoy it, I don't think it would be a bad idea to wait. If you need the money, obviously whole different story.

It is special, it is beautiful, and will probably become a highly collectable bag in the future. Vogue still has the crystal Hourglass as one of KK's top 10 bags and (again IMO) the best one of this bunch. Whatever we may think of KK she will go down in social and fashion history as a taste maker.
