I just read an interesting article about the owner today while waiting at the doctor. She just started off on ebay selling her own items.... then it grew. She is also a lawyer and a pretty smart cookie.

Where did you read it? Maybe i can get aholf of that magazine at the Frankfurt Airpot, they got all kinds of international magazines and papers there.
But what you said makes her even more trustworthy for me. Thanks. :D

I have sold bags through FF, and bought bags from them. I have been to their store in Beverly Hills, and its very nice! I feel like a kid in a candy store, so many beautiful bags, from so many designers all in one place!

Has anyone sent a LV to Fashionphile to sell? I looked through their site and it doesn't state how much they keep (at least not that I could find). I saw if you sold it to them outright - they would give you 50-60% of projected sale price. I even looked at their sales contract - no mention of their charge and fees. Anyone have experience with them? Do they keep 20%? 40%?

Thanks for any info,
Christine

i've bought and sold through them a lot. they only do the direct buy on certain high end items. when you consign an item through them they keep 30% of the sale price. i think it's worth it not to have to hassle with buyers. they assign you a code to type in and you can keep an eye on your items and that's how you know when something has sold. they mail out checks twice a month. hope this helps!

i've sold 5 or 6 things through them, and it was a really easy process. they take a 30% commission if it sells on their site. if the item doesn't sell on the regular site and winds up being listed on eBay through them, it is 30% plus the eBay fees. i knew that i would probably get less money using a reseller than if i had listed them myself, but i didn't want to deal with the hassle. :)

My exact reasons why I am considering this route. Thank you!

Yoogis closet is pickier than Fashionphile. I suspect it is because their inventory does not move as fast as Fashionphile's.
Yoogi refused three items of mine which Fashionphile sold in a month.
I think, however, Yoogi asks less consignment fees than Fashionphile, but I could be wrong.

Wentworth-Roth....good to know about Yoogi's being pickier. I guess I was automatically thinking of FP because of their exposure. FP is a well-established name on the bay (as I'm sure everyone knows). Their items tend to go at higher prices than if I sold it myself. Plus I don't have to go through the hassle of low-ball bidding, scammers, and general crazies......not to mention the nightmare of shipping.
Thank you for the info,
Christine
