When to Sell Your Luxury Bag
Timing matters. Chanel typically raises prices in the spring and fall — sell 2–3 months after a price increase when pre-owned prices have caught up. Hermès Birkins sell year-round with no seasonal dip.
Where to Sell for the Best Price
- Fashionphile: Instant quote, fast payment. Takes ~20–30% commission but handles everything.
- The RealReal: Good for Gucci, Prada, Dior. Commission 20–40% depending on price tier.
- eBay (Authenticated): Lowest fees (~13%), but more work to sell. Best for desirable pieces.
- Vestiaire Collective: Great for European brands. Peer-to-peer = higher profit.
Maximize Your Sale Price
Keep all paperwork (receipt, authenticity card, dust bag, box) — complete sets command 15–25% more. Clean the bag professionally before listing. Use high-quality photos in natural light.
