I think they are very reputable! I would buy from them in a hot second, the problem is their prices are much too inflated for pre-owned bags. I believe since they made the move from Texas to BevHills, they may have let things go to their heads, also the rent they pay on their space in BevHills is ridiculous. It is run by an Attorney, very smart lady. I know they are the most knowledgeable resource there is for LVs pre-owned. Everyone has a glitch here and there, I do not believe they intentionally sent you a bad check.
I TRIED to use FP to sell some of my bags, but I was told:
*email us
*call back
*someone will call you later (never did)
* "" "" "" ""
* "" "" "" ""
* "" "" "" ""
* and so on for more than a few months
(notice I called many times and NO ONE ever called back)
Last, to ship $$$$ bags plus insurance is simply too much money; I'm not willing to do that. Add in the packing costs (all via UPS or Fed Ex) and well, not impressed.
In fact, that was a BIG reason I wanted to talk to someone- how best to do this. But no one was EVER bothered enough to contact me. First line Customer Service says QUITE A BIT about how a business is run.
No thank you FP.

Depending where you live, you could try your local consignment stores. I know that some in my city also list some of their more luxurious stocks/items online to get more exposure
You have to check around as the fees can vary.

You can list on Craigslist, that way you can get cash and you don't have to pay any listing fee.
If I was to sell, I would sell it in eBay. Places like Fashionphile will always give you a low price because they need to make a profit.
I emailed the owner a few days ago about selling one of my bags, she didn't make me an offer just sent me a contract to sign :s so I don't know if I should sell it to her or not
There are some other sites you could try (malleries, yoogi's closet, ann's fabulous finds) I'm not sure how much they'd charge you but fashionphile charges 30%
Good luck!

Go click onto Louis Vuitton shopping then read the fashionphile = Fashion Rip Off that someone posted. It also talks about another consignment there, yogi's closet.
I sold my petit bucket last week for almost $400 on ebay, when I contacted fashionphile and yoogiscloset, they both offered me less than $200 for it! And it was in great shape- I can see that they need to make a profit, but I find fashionphile's prices to be very high, so I know they would have made a fortune from it!
(I was inquiring about direct sale, not consignment- I think you can get more if you consign!)

I have sold a few things with them... NO PROBLEM AT ALL. I was VERY happy with them. If they sell your bag on consignment they take 30%. If they buy your bag out-right then they offer you less since they don't know if or when it will sell. Their money is on hold with it.
I think they no longer charge ebay fees. So if you sell it on your own on ebay between ebay fees and paypal fees and shipping fees. How much do you really lose in the deal? To me I rather end up with a little less and let them deal with all the crappy pain in the a@@ buyers. To be honest since their prices are higher since people feel safe by buying from them since they know the bag they are buying is real, so if you consign with them by them charging more there is a good chance when all said and done it might not be that much difference.
Worth it to me for a worry free transaction.

Yes, I have sent many items to FP and yoogi and love them both.
That offer sounds like a direct purchase offer. You get less $$ that way b/c you get the money immediately. Only do this if you are in a cash crunch and NEED the cash immediately. You will make more $$$ if you do consignment. You will have to wait longer to receive a check but you get more $$ that way.
