**Selling/consigning** with Fashionphile

[Luxurybabie]

I sent 22 quotes to Fashionphile yesterday. There were some shoes and some LV bags (popular styles like Artsy and Speedy). I used to sell them stuff before, but now they didn't accept ANY of my items. Not cool of them Maybe they thought it's a fraud because of too many quotes or maybe they saw my items on my eBay page and again thought that something's not clear here. Did anyone have such experience?

I am interested to find out as well. According to the reply from customer service they are not buying from international customer at the moment. I am guessing that's due to they are moving or overstocked?

I have a Chanel Jumbo single flap in Cream with silver hardware. I can't seem to bring myself to carry it because I really only wear black. It is a beautiful bag that was cleaned and refurbished by Leather Surgeons. It is so gorgeous but I am having a tough time selling it. Has anyone sold to fashionphile before? I tried to search this topic but for some reason I can't find anything. I know they only give you about half of what they think the bag is worth but I am desperate to sell it to fund a bag i can actually wear. If not sell to them where should I try? I have posted it on Tradesy and some Facebook BST groups that I am in. Please help!!!!

Fashionpile has been giving very low quotes since last November I think, they been saying they are in their low buying season. I hope you can find more consignment shops get more quotes so you can compare best prices. It's a gorgeous bag! Good luck!

I sold both a Bal City and a vintage H Kelly through Fashionphile a few months ago. The quotes I got weren't great (especially for the Bal), but the bags sold very fast. The prices were also higher than the quotes I got from Yoogi's Closet. Overall I was really happy with the service from Fashionphile.

I have sold a lot to fashionphile in the past but they are in low buying season (although they give consistently better quotes than others). However, I recently submitted three items that would have typically been bought and they said we can't offer quotes right now come back later, so it seems they have some issues.

by the way in the ebay forum there is a whole thread on fashionphile so check there also

You can also try Ann's Fabulous Finds, but they don't do buy-out, only consignment. IMO, Fashionphile does usually give the best quotes. Occasionally Yoogi's Closet has better quotes when it comes to classics (especially Reissues), so give them a try.

And then off the top of my head I can think of:
- The RealReal
- Bag Borrow or Steal
- Bella Bag
- Boutique Patina
- Couture USA
- My Personal Shoppers

Another thing is that since this bag is in light colored lambskin, it unfortunately won't hold its value as much as when it's in caviar (which is usually more popular).
Good luck

Have you tried the Designer Vault? They're a Chanel only consignment store that offers high quotes....

I recently put 3 LV's like new bags for sale at Yoogi's Closet. They give higher quotes than Fashionfile. They all sold within 15 minutes and I received my check promptly. On one I got back 60 percent. I highly recommend this company.

i sell to them all the time. of all the places i have tried they always have higher quotes for everything. i've never had good quotes from yoogi's or anns, but those are two other places to try. i don't know where you get that they give you "50% of value?" that is not how buyouts/consignment works. it's based on the condition of the bag and for some people it will be less than 50% of value and for some it will be quite high. it varies based on their needs. they are expanding their company right now, into larger buildings and i think that is why they have slowed down on buying for now... they are going through inventory as they relocate to new warehouses. they actually lost my layaway item a few weeks ago and had to refund me + gave me a very generous certificate. i think as they move they are in a bit of a mess

Yes they seem a bit of a mess right now. It took me calling 5 times for them to find a fendi item I sent them. Had I know they were moving I probably would have waited a few weeks.

When I sold 2 LV bags, I got quotes from both Yoogis and Fashionphile, and Yoogis was better. But it was still a huge loss overall. Since then I've never consigned again and sold the bags myself. It's a lot of work because you'll get low ballers etc but you honestly get so much more for the bag then you would with consignment. I sold a GST last year and lost less than $100 from what I originally paid. The same goes for a lot of my other bags. I personally sell off Kijiji because I don't trust eBay or craigslist.

Maybe I ask ladies that has used Designer Vault, Yoogi's Closet or/and Fashionphile, do you choose 'buyout' or 'consign'?

I'm looking to sell my Coco Boy, so far Fashionphile has better quotes for both buyout and consign. Thanks!

The only reason to do buyout, IMO, is if you need the money right away. You'll get more money from consignment.

Understood. But how do you know how much they list the consign price? I mean, the only provide an estimate range.

Do I need to ask them before shipping my item? What if I'm not happy with the consign price?

Because I'm based in HK, I feel like it's more risky for me to ship it all the way to the states [emoji85]

If you go on the Fashionphile website, there is an FAQ section that explains how they determine consignment fees. It's a little tricky, but you can do the math and figure out roughly what the list price will be. They do discount items over time if they don't sell right away, so if the price drops, the amount you get will also drop. I've only sold a couple of bags through them, but the low end of their consignment estimate was still a little higher than the direct buyout option.

If you change your mind and want your bag back, they'll send it back to you for a pretty low price ($25 in the US, not sure what it is internationally).

For shipping, I'm not sure how they do it internationally, but it should be on the website. And they do answer emails within a day if you have questions.
