I think the estimate is two weeks to do do all of inspections, authenticating and photography.

Can those who co-signed with Ann’s comment on if they received the price range they were quoted and roughly how long it took to sell your item? Did anyone not get their item sold.
I found the price range accurate, and have sold things quickly and others have taken seemingly forever; I've always gone with their suggestion on pricing. To be fair, I've not consigned anything that would be considered an especially coveted piece. The trade off is almost always between speedy sale and maximizing the realized price. My purchases from Ann's have been better than described, and my consignment results have been somewhat less than I would like, but I'm very pleased with the service I've received. I prefer a 'no problems' experience over a quick sale with headaches. HTH
I consigned an item with Ann's (a special edition Kelly) and it did not sell. After about six months I pulled it back and sold it elsewhere.
They were happy to advise on pricing but also priced it where I thought it should be, which, to be fair, was probably a bit too high.
Something that would make me happy as a buyer but was less pleasing as a seller 🤣 was that they noted every single flaw on the bag, including minuscule ones that I had never noticed

I have a mix of experiences: I sold an Evelyne very fast at the asking price but one new Chanel never sold after price drop (it sold elsewhere in days at asking price). The team is lovely and I still recommend!
After purchasing 3 quota bags from my local store I've turned to purchasing vintage bags which I've enjoyed so far (I get what I want, right away, with a few defects which I find I don't mind too much about). I've purchased two Hermes bags from Fashionphile and had them both authenticated by bababebi. I recently came upon the website wornright.com that has a bag that I'm very interested in buying. Anyone have any experience with this company? Are they legit?
Upon further research I think I will steer clear of this website. I saw a Thom Browne sweater listed on their youtube channel with 3 stripes...
Due to @allanrvj keen eyes, it was brought to my attention the Lancel thread from the general handbags forum was merged with this thread yesterday (12.06.24)
@Vlad was contacted, but unfortunately, there is no way of reversing a merge
I've managed to send all posts with 'Lancel' to where they belong. Any rogue Lancel posts that have been left behind will not have 'Lancel' contained therein.
If you happen to be going through this thread historically or otherwise searching for certain resellers or whatever, and come upon a strange posts that look like they don't belong (Hermes forum/this thread) please report and they'll be moved.

Seeking my first pre-loved Hermes bag! Looking for a Kelly 32 in black leather. Need a more durable leather as I am a mom of 4. Looking for the most reliable trusted sources to look for the exact bag I am shopping for with superior authentication.
Was very close to buying a bag from Vestaire but after reading awful reviews on fakes I passed it by.
Please send resellers

The usual suspects (Ann's, FF, TRR, Collector's Square) have been discussed above in this thread, and have their pros and cons. There are a number of Japanese resellers on eBay (some with physical locations) that have also been discussed. The problem is that there are so many factors that go into being comfortable with buying pre-loved, and it's often a very personal decision. First and foremost is of course authentication. Some may argue but I think many members of this forum will agree and have articulated, again, all over this thread, that bababebi is the gold standard for Hermes authentication.Seeking my first pre-loved Hermes bag!

After that, it's a question of how far off of a boutique purchase are you willing to go, at what price, and with what set of inconveniences? I don't mean to sound flip, because I've done this very thing myself when on a mission -- you could type in 'black leather Hermes Kelly 32' in an Ebay search and start whittling it down. Eliminate sellers by any criteria you feel would make the purchase a 'hard' no. If you research leathers first, and have a hardware preference, that may help you eliminate another swath of candidates. Then it's zoom in and have a look.
I've seen bags at other resale sites but wouldn't mention them because I've no personal experience with them. That's what this thread is for. If you're a bit chagrinned at not finding a handy list, or places you've not considered, think about what you're asking. Frankly, were I in the market for those specs, and found something I was considering, I wouldn't tell you either. I've had things that I've had my eye on appear in the 'Post Web Finds' thread and thought "oh no, I wish that hadn't been posted!" and sure enough some other lucky person pounced. Again, not intending to be flip, unpleasant, or to gate keep; I do wish you every luck in your search, but beyond some basic guidelines and guardrails, it's a bit of a solo occupation.

Would love to get opinions about Rebag! And especially, would you buy a Hermes bag from them?
They don't offer sufficient amount of pics to send to Bababebi. And they say that they won't take the item out from the warehouse to take extra pictures. Plus, this item is a final sale item so basically impossable to return. I asked from the rep what I should do if I authenticate through third party and would get statement of fake bag. She said that I can contact them with the statement for further investigation... But the thing is that if they still refused to refund and take the bag back, there wouldn't be dang thing I could do!
Any advice or opnions would be highly appreciated!

My advice would be to stay away. However if you do decide to go through with the purchase, use a credit card with superior consumer protections, such as American Express, to make a charge back more possible.
Thank you for your honest advice! I don't like it (the stay away part
) but I appreciate it. I don't have Amex (not so common here). You think Paypal is safe enough??Also a question about Fashionphile.. I am not worried about the authenticity issues (will anyway authenticate through Bababebi) but how about the condition? I have heard that there are resellers (like apparently Ann´s?) with whom you are always happily surprised about the condition (being better than on the description), so is FP one of them? For example, if it says in the description that there is structure wear, I am wondering how bad it can be.. The bag I am eyeing on is from 2011 but I don't believe the year says it all, depending how much it has been used and how it has been stored (like the corner wear is minimal).
