Nope [emoji17]
I called the FP manager back yesterday since I haven't heard from her. Left her a message and didn't hear back from her.
I also texted my former building manager to confirm he could get the tapes from the end of July and I didn't hear from him (I looped him in earlier this week and he had said if he didn't have an exact date and time to check on that he'd have to get special permission to spend extended time going through tapes.)
I'd really like the FP manager to get back to me before I hassle the building guy. I still do not understand how they located this tracking number suddenly and why this information was not available before.
Sounds like from a lot of topics elsewhere that Yoogi's wins over Fashionohile for resale return and customer service! I think from what I've seen...I will be sending my bags to Yoogi! Or selling them myself on Tradesy, another trustworthy site that's really gaining momentum these days...I use the Tradesy app constantly...and it's much better than eBay (eBay has tons of fakes and there is no guarantee), I rarely buy anything there now!
I have been disappointed by Fashionphile before but my last two experiences have been more than great. Quick turn around and I have been getting the money within 2 days of items received. Yoogi's took 2 days longer which are not a big deal and their quotes are humiliating. Plus you get your money faster with Fashionphile if you provide your bank info.
I requested a quote for a brand new rectangular mini, out of curiosity. They offered me $1895. What a joke. For them to turn around and sell it for $3100? Please!
But that's how consignment works.
Usually you get around 30% of the sale price, so $1895 is a very high offer at almost twice that.
This is a LONG shot. And doesn't really help with the FP drama. Could you perhaps have the building guy or an old neighbor hang up a sign in your lobby asking if anyone might have *accidentally* picked it up?! Maybe someone moving in grabbed it and it is still sitting in their apartment unopened. Maybe someone stole it but still has it. If you mention that you were hoping it would be returned before management had to view the tapes, maybe the person would drop it off at the office!? I don't know.
Call & keep calling til FP manager takes your call...
Be persistent is going to get your answers...if you have FP manager's e-mail contact, follow
up that way as well so you have the start of a paper trail...
Not everybody is prepared to lose so much money. If people want to earn close to resale price, then I say sell it yourself. Do the work and pay yourself instead of somebody else.But that's how consignment works.
I hear ya!! I got offered $2800 for my om chanel boy caviar black with rhw. It's from 14C, literally pristine condition. I know that bag will sell and they will price it for at least 5k since that bag is in demand. I ended up keeping it and I'm glad I did.
Yeah it's ridiculous. I know they need to make money, but a brand new bag that I know will sell for at least retail. I did ask about Buy Out instead of consignment though, so maybe that affected the price. For those lowball reasons, I also wouldn't want to sell to them. I should rather sell to friends and family at that price
personal preference. I know some ppl don't mind the loss.I sent a quote request for 2 vintage pieces I have. They offered me $1800 for both bags. That's less than what I paid for one. I am a business owner and I understand profit but it was a little insulting. Especially since they sold a bag similar to one in worse condition for almost 5 times what they offered me. I'm keeping them.
