old thread, but i stand by beljwl, i didn't have a problem with selling a bag to them directly. i know i could have received more if i sold it myself, i just needed the $$ right away.

walking in the store is a plus, DH took the bag to them directly and they gave him a check on the spot. No problems with any "funding" issue. the check cleared within days.

I sold FP an item and received an email that a check was going out to me on 9/4/09. Its 9/14/09 and have still not received a check. We are in the same state so it should have been here by now. Well see.

Please remember that while other companies may charge less, Fashionphile is going to get at least 10-20% more for your bag than anyone else. Their following is enormous. If you take a look at the same bag, for example this Trevi PM that Fashionphile sold for $1450

http://cgi.ebay.com/LOUIS-VUITTON-D...bags?hash=item5ad34fd075&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Another seller's sold for $1255 Brand new.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Authentic-Louis-Vuitton-Trevi-PM-Damier-Bag-Handbag_W0QQitemZ320418087633QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WH_Handbags?hash=item4a9a6802d1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

That's 13% less. Another sold for $1175.

http://cgi.ebay.com/LOUIS-VUITTON-T...bags?hash=item27ab6f2592&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

That's 19% less.

So, obviously my point is that while FP may be charging 30%, they average 10-20% more gross. In all actuality that makes your profit larger or your consignment net fee actually lower.

Hope that makes sense.

I have never sold anything with FP, I've just been a buyer. I sell myself and believe me, sometimes I have seriously considered sending them my bags after I see that theirs sells for more than mine!

I just sold them a bag yesterday and was very satisfied with what I was paid. I only lost $25 from the price I originally paid for the bag over 2 years ago. Yes, I bought the bag preloved but still $25 to be able to use the bag for 2 years. I am VERY happy.

Is Fashionphile reliable, though, in terms of authenticity? Like, if I buy a bag from them (I've been eying some) with the slightly higher price that I'm paying there be worth in terms of guaranteeing it's real? I really don't want to purchase a fake bag, even if I have to pay an extra few bucks on a used one.

Fashionphile just seems so much more reliable than eBay. I realize that eBay sellers selling real goods would get more $$$ overall often if they used eBay, but the risk of buying a fake on eBay just seems so high.

Thanks!

well I think Fashionphile has been on ebay for a very long time and she wrote one of the original ebay guides on LV. She owns a consignment store in LA area and her prices are absolutely the highest. I have never been to her store but I am sure it is outrageously priced. She does know her stuff so it will be authentic

I have been in the store many times and it is VERY nice. It is on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, right around the corner from LV. I have seen Hermes and LV SA's in there before. The Hermes SA even had a customer with her when she was in there.
