On the average, when you sell one of your LV items that you don't want anymore, how much do you lose? If it's not a lot, then it would be a pretty nice investment to get to use the bag and then sell it back also.
It depends on the bag. In most cases I got way less than what I paid for it but broke even on a few as well. I've yet to make a profit from one.
I sold a trocadero 27, the larger size for a teacher at my son's school and it went for a drop over 300 and was in near mint condition, light vachetta and immaculate inside w/ crisp canvas, the bag retails for 900 maybe? anway, on ebay that is not a popular style so that is a huge loss but many would think that's a good return for a trocadero.
You did do well with the Trocadero on eBay. I sold one similar in excellent condition for only $225. I was surprised to get that much. Although, most Troc's I've seen are in awful condition
