Was just going to post a similar tale -- submitted 2 items last week; one was super super low for an H bag and the other (LV slg) was outright declined for no reason.
**Selling/consigning** with Fashionphile

When offers are too low, doesn’t hurt to sell on your own, I recently had a bag that consignments quoted me $400 - $700 buy out, forced me to sell on my own, I sold it for $1,800 plus, well, all because I had no choice 😸
That's awesome! When you sell on your own, what platform do you use? I have always been concerned selling on Poshmark. I never have but heard horror stories but maybe I should test it out selling something less expensive to feel it out.
I sold my new LV Damier Azure Pochette accessoires to FP recently and I was surprised by their offer considered the condition of my item. However since my goal is to declutter and get rid of what I no longer love/use, I sold it to them.
Gosh I wish all that want to sell at Fashionphile can all meet in the corner of their parking lot and buy from each other! Hahaha! We will pay more then FP but we will still get a deal. It's a win win for EVERYONE....EXCEPT FP. LOL
It is the hardest time I have seen on second hand luxury market, when COVID hit, I thought that would be the down time, but it quickly recovered after 6 months.
I happened to see that FP hanged how they describe items as of a few days ago.
I’m confused the difference between shows wear and worn.
Oh interesting. I wish they left it the way it was. I learned by experience what each condition actually meant physically. "Shows wear" and "worn" sounds terrible. Lol. Very Good and good are better descriptions imo.
I’ve noticed when they said “good”condition it was rarely good.
This seems more honest but still leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
There are some, mostly I had good experiences (knock the wood).
Agree. The words actually seem to downgrade the condition, except for the first two. Maybe that's part of their ploy... make us gravitate to new/excellent out of fear of worn/shows wear.Oh interesting. I wish they left it the way it was.

Yes so true! Humm...sneaky! Also perhaps if we purchase a "shows wear" or "worn" item we will be pleasantly surprised of how new or barely "worn" it actually looks which will give them more positive reviews. Hummm. Lol
