Being able to clear space for new babies is just as satisfactory as rehoming the old ones to their new mommies. So if you're in the midst of purging your bags, here are some tips on how you can sell them the fast route!
| Take appealing photos |
There's nothing like a virtual retail therapy that makes your heart flutter upon the sight of a drool-worthy bag. That's exactly what potential customers want to see before scrolling down to read your description of the bag next. A great selection of photos enables customers to view the bag's conditions and visualize on how it'll look on the wearer. Avoid photos that are blurry or in bad lighting as that can hinder the selling process. If the bag has flaws in certain areas, be completely honest by taking photos of those flaws too to avoid any future dispute with your buyer.
| Provide a detailed description |
Be upfront in your advertisement by giving a detailed description of your bag's condition, datecode, measurement and whether it comes with anything else (dustbag/receipt/ box). Don't leave out even the tiniest details such as the defects or flaws. It's also advisable for you to mention the source and whether it was purchased new or preloved. All these details will further convince potential customers and to even avoid accusations of scam.
| Offer a reasonable price |
People love a good bargain, especially for designer bags half the retail price. If you're in need of fast cash or simply letting go of your old bags for the sake of clearance, then a lower price tag will get you tons of enquiries fast. Do note that some brands have low resale value so you can't expect getting profit from your sale (except for Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton).
Also, your chances in getting a fast buyer are higher if you offer free shipping or cash on delivery for your item.
Advertise on a paid listing online platform
Shopmyluxurybag for instance, is an amazing (authentic only) advertising platform for selling your unwanted luxury items. You can advertise as many items as you want, by paying a one-time fee. Do note that the fees vary depending on your selling price. Once the fee is paid, your item will be advertised and posted on a weekly basis until it's sold. You will, however, deal with potential buyers directly including the delivery of your item.
| Consign with a reputable luxury seller |
If your personal selling attempt goes futile or you don't want to go through the seller-buyer hassle, you can always consign your bag with a third party seller that specializes in preloved luxury items. For consignment, you'll need to provide some photos to the seller before they can quote your bag. However, you need to bear in mind that the bag might be quoted lower than your desired amount. Again, this depends on the condition and brand.
Once a mutual agreement has been reached on the selling price, the bag has to be shipped to the seller where they'll take charge in handling the whole selling process including delivery. Malaysia-based consignment platform like La Bagatory isn't only legit and trusted, the items also mostly sell out like hot cakes.
