Wanted to update some of my previous comments. I took about a 3 month hiatus from listing anything new on VC because I got so annoyed with their lowballing/haggling on the price to get an item up. I just got something new that I thought would appeal to European buyers so I decided to give them another chance. Happy to report I got that listed at a reasonable price with no haggling, and then I listed 4 other items, they only haggled me on one and also not back and forth, just one price decrease and they accepted. So perhaps they are listening to all the negative feedback they got.
Erm I wish. They quoted yesterday brand new unused large Sac De Jour (£2275 price) £1200 and then £1300 while I wanted to sell for reasonable £1600 (all docs + excellent conditon). Needed to iterate few times, 3rd time they accepted. Think they still try to take the piss out of those more desperate, inexperienced or with fakes.

so now they offered $308 for a pair of new over knee Louboutin limited edition boots with original price $1975.
and I could only accept or refuse. It's so humiliating and insulting, every time the same, I have to fight for my (already reasonable) prices time after time!! I find it extremely unprofessional, and I wish I could say it all in the face of those ppl responsible for acceptance of CL!!! they don't know the market, don't know the prices, they know nothing about rare / limited styles etc.
 
they don't in my case:smile: they have different people for different brands though
well i'll partially retract my prior clarification. i submitted a few additional things this weekend and did get haggled more. I think it can be luck of the draw as to who processes your item. I am not finding it necessarily correlates to a specific brand. Maybe decline and then try resubmitting after a short time period?

I was coming off the price by £1 lol. After third attempt they accepted my price. I reckon whoever has more patience and also they might be gauging for desperate people.
I just saw accept/decline only - is this actually possible? I thought there was an option to give your price...

Well within Chanel they take the piss big style. I got insulting offers for my almost new bags (I mean like a few months old) and then saw minis (not black that are most desired) being placed for £2600-£3000 (while the brand new one from boutique is £2330). Challenged them but they just said oh it's interesting.
 
Yup. I just did wonder how people can squeeze a mini for £3k or reissue for £4.5k. Maybe patience? I sort of don't believe the luck as they all seem to be trained now to push the price down...
every reissue i see in the secondary markets on other sites is at least 50% off resale. they just don't get the same resale value as regular flaps or boy bags.

This - 100%
If I get a lowball listing offer and counteroffer quickly after, I think the same person may respond because their counteroffer will be low again. I try to wait until the next day, which has increased my chances of getting them to accept my proposed price.
For example, a couple of days ago I submitted a very sought after Hermes scarf pattern for below retail price and they counteroffered about 1/3 off my price. I waited until the next morning and counteroffered $1 lower than my initial price and it was accepted.
It listed this morning and is already sold :)

cause none of our e-mails go father than their customer support, and nobody from those department ever read it:sad:
They read them sometimes. Awhile ago I was selling my Chanel Lucky Charms 224 reissue flap and for ~$6K, which is totally reasonable, and they counteroffered $2.7K, I came down by $100 and they came up by $100. I sent an email to CS saying it was a very rare bag that sells for the price I listed and I gave them the prices this item had previously sold for on their site (at my asking price). They emailed back and asked for the reference numbers of those listings, which I provided, and later they emailed that they would accept my price. It sold within 2 days of course.
This site takes a lot of patience, but sales are so good!
