I bought it in Paris in 2017 so not nearly as much as it costs now. I don't recall what the VAT refund was but my best guess is that I paid about $1,000-1,100 USD (after my guess of the refund taken into account and converting to USD, which I don't know what the exchange rate was back then).
Which resale site pays the most?

Hi, your post was so helpful, it gave me some options I didn’t think of. I submitted to mygemma because Fashionphile does not take the jewelry brand I have, and I just got an email saying my quote is ready and to CALL them to get it. Did the same thing happen to you, or did you get it via email/website? I kind of feel like having to call them makes it not worth it (like I would rather take a low offer on another site and not have to talk to a scammy person on the phone - I was interested in buying an item from them before and sent a message though their website and they called me on my phone from their office and gave me the hard sell pitch. Not a fan! It felt like I was at a jewelry vendor’s booth in NYC and not a professional/impersonal store like I had expected; like Fashionphile, TRR etc). Thank you.
I am glad it helped. I wanted to try to help others as I was wondering about the differences (of course I know they can fluctuate based on different items/different days/weeks/months, etc).
Mygemma tried calling me twice (missed them and then I called back and got their VM so it was a little frustrating) before they just finally emailed me the quote. I wish they would just do the site or an email from the get go as it is more convenient, especially when there is a time difference.
I also would rather take a lower offer with a site directly purchasing it from me than deal with potential scammer buyers (like selling on eBay, etc and chancing some buyer pulling some crap. I sold something on a site and the buyer tried to say the new LV item had a bunch of marks on it but I took a video of myself wrapping it so it showed what it looked like. I still had to deal with the stupid site as they tried to take the buyer's side despite my providing pictures/video showing the item was new/never used and had no marks on it. I reported that site to the BBB for keeping my money and letting the buyer keep the item that they marked up/wanted to return to me. I stopped selling on there and eBay after that). Now I only sell on FB groups (but am picky) or sites like Fashionphile.
Thank you for taking the time to make the comparisons. In the past I always went with Fashionphile or TRR, and it was as simple as that. Now the selling climate has changed and we are open to more risks selling as well. The more knowledge we have, the better choices we are able to make.
very much depends on the sellers experiences and type of items, ebay & Poshmark could be the worst places for the seller, it's like a single fish in the ocean trying to be fetched at high price
just joking.
but you sounds like an experienced seller and have great items to sell
