Hello everyone
I’m a new member & i’m in need of some help. I have brand new black c24 epsom phw that i’m trying to rehome. I’m only 5’ and its too big for me.I’m based in Dubai & we have like 3 consignment stores only.They offered $7000 for the bag which is too low considering it’s a full set & brand new. Can you guys suggest as to where i can put the bag up for sale?
Thank you
Everyone is going to have a different reseller they've worked with but I have sold to Madison Avenue Couture in NY for years and found she offers top dollar. But you need to be realistic in the price you'd like to get and consider that as a reseller she will mark it up so if you ask for a number that's too high, she won't (or no reseller for that matter) will buy it from you. Some resellers will offer to take your bag on consignment which would require them to have your bag until it's sold, and I have read that some resellers will return your bag to you if you want it back, sometimes not in the condition which you'd originally given it to them. Lots to consider so do your due diligence and read through this thread to see who people have worked with and what their personal experience has been. I have only ever worked with two resellers and I keep going back to Madison Avenue Couture.

Since you are based in Dubai you might want to ask the question who will pay for shipping as this
is an international transaction & the shipping costs may factor in the price you will be offered.
Since your bag is "brand new" I would consider options very carefully especially "consigning internationally"
(meaning here in US) as well as potential "custom fees" if applicable

I’ve had numerous positive experiences with Hermes resellers, and most recently I really appreciated Marco of OPHERTYCIOCCI.com for great communication and quick delivery of a marvelous Marine Naive shawl from Italy to USA. Like many, they sell on both eBay and their own website.

The only thing I like about VC is that you can ship the bag after it’s sold, you’re absolutely right. On the other hand, after the bad stories I read I’m hesitant To sell through them :sad: at the same time I dont want to ship a brand new sealed bag to someone else and not knowing how they will handle the bag. I take very good care of my bags, I have very old bags that look like new. I would want someone to treat my items the way I do.
I've sold bags through them. It's ok, they are very generous to H owners (any price is fine with them), however the buyers are fussy and trying to score a mega deal (I mean don't we all but the audience there is like vultures).
I sold my bag to Xupes. Very good experience though I wouldn't buy from them as their prices are very high (lots of rarer items though, especially vintage Chanel).
 
I am too often shocked at how ignorant all those resellers are about leathers and colors of Hermes bag . (unless they have the receipt in hands, they are unable to name a color or a leather). They havent done any homework. I hate that.
In my opinion, that says a lot about how they will treat the bag, the buyer and the seller all together.
Their business model is not based on anything related to the product.
Second that. My two preowned Hermes bags were supposed to be a Togo and turned out to be a. fjord b. clemence (which I knew from the outset but they argued they have a 'specialist' in house lol)
 
I know this is not a website of Fashionfile. But I just want to let everyone who live in CA know that Fashionfile has opened the store at Carlsbad Premium outlet, California.
I saw a Kelly28 Noir Togo used, every good condition for 11k, C24 Epsom Etain, very good condition for 8k, 9k. A lot of Birkins, Excellent Condition. And a lot of H leather bracelets....
Mod can remove if it's not belong here.

Hi all... i’ve been contemplating to get my first K25 via an instagram reseller in singapore called @studio.lechambre she offers a good-ish price for a particulare piece that im eyeing.. only, i could not see a lot of reviews from this reseller and none of my relatives has purchased from her before.. is there anyone here who has a purchase history with her? And any inputs on how do i know whether my reseller is trustworthy?

Thank you so muchhh if any of u guys have any input.. been trying to find the perfect K25 for the longest time and i’ve been in contact with this reseller on and off throughout the week but i just feel i need some reassurance..

Have a great day all♥️
 
Recent experience with brand_jfa disappointing, not good for relationship building, but it may be considered fair enuf by some. I asked for a small partial refund of $150 — since odor wasn’t indicated in listing — to cover costs of sending for treatment to @docride, would have settled for $50 product cost of kit; but seller refused via eBay messaging, saying the discount to $2,412 was already good. No partial refund but would happily take it back IN JAPAN for full refund. Very cute eBay won’t let me leave a neutral or negative rating for 7 days because brand_jfa is an approved seller. I have calendared an appropriate date :biggrin:

Evelyne vibrato PM was not disclosed as STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN in listing, no mention at all of odor in either bag or dustbag. When opened Saturday in USA, AWFUL! Had to take an allergy tablet for musty odor that quickly spread into the next rooms. Overnight, Had to enclose the two items in plastic bin with lavender sachets and baking soda just to sleep.

Next day, another allergy tablet as let out of bin to air. Today, you can be in the same room and not run for the tissues. Without the odor wafting as one walks, I could have worn the bag a bit, even as waited through holidays to thoroughly clean and check for regluing needs.

The good news: really fast delivery and their piks were waaaaay off — in a good way.

I'm new to this thread - recently someone on TPF mentioned using an instagram seller (@coco_approved) for rehoming bags. Said she had really great experiences (and that Fashionphile rips you off) but that seller is mainly for Chanel. Has anyone here used an Instagram reseller? What are the main resale options used these days? I don't need to rehome anything right now but want to know what I'd do if I wanted to rehome a bag since that factors into my purchasing decisions (and I'm looking at a few purchases right now).

Also, anyone know of any solid H resale brick and mortar shops in the SF or north bay/Marin/Sonoma/Napa area?

Thanks in advance!
 
Hello, has anyone had recent experience purchasing from Prive Porter? I'm considering purchasing a Birkin from them and would appreciate any feedback you'd like to share. Thank you!


I have and just judging by the hardware on the bag, screws that were clearly hammered in and not pearled...I'm thinking the bag is a fake, also what I would say is dried glue along some seems where the handles are.
I'm in the process of having the bag authenticated in person, not photos sent via email.
Also, a lot of their posts on Instagram are photos taken from The French Hunter page. However, if you Google The French Hunter, it is a leather goods company with a Hong Kong address. So, this as others have suspected MUST be some superfake supplier based out of China.

45min update, now that business address, search result is gone. Will send screenshot, just DM.
