Rayne (Ray/Richard) is gone again, at least VC is quick in removing the pervs, I guess another few days until he made a new email and signed up. I am honestly not a prude or uptight, but this is just the wrong venue to get your "fix" of pictures that excite you

Actually they accepted the Prada cashmere cardi to my great surprise, somebody got a steal for 50 euros, I best not spend the 35 they will pay me eventually all in one place or go on a mad spending spree...
I find it annoying, even if you switch off offers, you get somebody who offers you a totally ridiculous amount and insists you should sell for it as they want a branded item for such a low price that you would actually not get anything back, currently having trouble explaining to somebody why I do not sell the Zucca bag and heels for 15, not sure if that person is a time waster or just incredibly dense
Oh waow....waow....what stories on VC.
I was asking a friend her experience with a local consignement store. Basically you rent a shelf, and put on the stuff you wanna sell. They make sure the clothes are decent, the overall look of the shop is neat.
Because online just doesn´t work for me as a seller lol.
I have an Andjela dress this years collection (popular model) worn twice. The price new is 282 usd for us with import, I listed for 70. Had a girl offering 30. ha ha ha.....it seems that you can´t go above 1/10 of the original price....

I don't know how you do it. I don't think I could part with anything in my collection for €35!
Regardless of where you put something up for sale it seems to be a common occurrence for bidders to offer exactly half of your asking price, even if they're willing to pay more. I guess they're just testing if you'll bite. It depends how they approach me (rude or polite) but I've gone both ways with these people: some (well, most) I've responded to rudely, and others I've made clear their offer is not reasonable but we did end up agreeing to a price somewhere in between. VC only allows offers that are at least 70% of the asking price, so that is the exact amount that many keep offering.
We have local craigslist type of site and even if you specifially mention that there's no point in sending offers lower than the asking price or the minimum bid people will send messages à la "I'll pick it up this afternoon for 1/4 of your price". No, you're not. You can stay right where you are.
Edited to add: the saga of the missing money continues. I was promised it would be paid yesterday, and of course nothing showed up in my PP.
you are so RIGHT!! I had forgotten but yes I put a low price on market place and people will still bargain for 2/3 with saying they ll pick it up today, its really an international thing. I had it today!! And was like "Duh...how could I forget that´s what they do..."
Once I put a perfect womens bike for sale at 30$ and they still offer half haha...
Moving countries, don't want to pack up even more...
But VC did another fantastic one, somebody bought another Prada item, now I could not print out a label, all packed up but it comes up with
"Oops! Something went wrong with creating your shipping label.
No match for address input."
Contacted chat, they suspect the buyer is somewhere where they don't ship to, I should hear back from them within the hour, that was 9 hours ago. Already had the reminder to send it, went to chat again, they told me I could cancel, I told them it will affect my account, I have them ready to send, they didn't issue the label, reply "Oh then send it" me "Without a label an an address, HOW?"
The private chat thing they have is so annoying, I get stuff like you get, something really expensive listed cheap as you want a quick sale, tons of "private messages" with "I take them for 30" no luv, you are not taking Maison Margiala boots that were never worn for that price, and nope, also not interested in selling you the Bottega Venta boots for that price...
New reply from them, you know that "We contact you within the hour" means 32 hours later and they are now trying to tell the seller to change the address, apparently the address has a mistake and they contact me when they hear from the seller, no reply to if that might impact my status and I get the "Please send your item" - well, I would love to, if they would manage to get me the label....
No wonder I got two exact amount of offers by two different users. It makes so much sense now.

I feel like you have the patience of a Saint. Good luck and I hope your issue with printing label gets resolved.
Afraid I am not too patient, but I gave up getting upset about the mess they create, my nerves are more valuable
Another update on the missing money: they finally sent a payment Friday afternoon a few hours after I sent my complaint, but the amount is still too low. Shouldn't a finance department be better at math?
