I have a purse that I plan to sell and I have no knowledge about the designer purse after market. I had assumed Ebay was the way to go, but given what I've read regarding fraud, I'm not so sure. Most of the rest of what I've bought and sold on there was <$100, so no big deal if it wasn't what I hoped.
Are there other venues that I should consider or is Ebay pretty much it? Craigslist makes me shudder, and I don't think I'd get many viewers anyway. W. Michigan just isn't a great market for that stuff.
Would I be better off trying to place it on consignment?
And since I'd rather not get bent over on the deal, what is the resale market like on this stuff. (New in Box) Could I expect to get 50% of retail? 75%? 25%?
I was checking with one local store and I know that lady thought I might be a sucker. She hemmed and hawed and sighed and said that since she didn't have much stock left, she could give me $150 cash or $200 store credit. Yeah lady, right, and would you give me TWO WHOLE shiny dimes for my dirty beat up quarter too?
At any rate, I'll take any suggestions.
I wasn't sure if this was general enough for this forum, or if it should go in the ebay thread. I assume it will get moved if needed.
