One way of alleviating some of the stress is to sell your bags. So, you can sell your bags to clear up some closet space and possibly make a little cash in the process. But you may be thinking, where do I even start?
PurseBop knows how difficult and daunting the task of selling your bags can be, which is why we've compiled some important tips to help you navigate the reselling world without error. Take our advice and always remember to use your best judgment!
First off, it’s important to know that there are 2 main options for selling online. The first option, which gives you more control, is to essentially go through an online marketplace. Think sites like eBay, Poshmark, and Tradesy. You’re the boss, though the site will get a cut of your sale. Alternatively, you can go through websites like Yoogi’s Closet, Vestiaire Collective, and TheRealReal, which set the prices (and do all the other busy work—like authenticating, picture-taking, and writing descriptions—themselves). With this option, you obviously have less freedom and generally have to pay a larger commission fee to the website. While this latter option is certainly convenient, the rest of this guide will primarily concern those cheap replica handbags who want to sell through a marketplace themselves!
In order the set the right price, make sure to research other listings for the bag—especially ones that have recently sold—on various resale sites. Compare the prices for the bag (or similar bags) on different platforms, paying attention to wear + tear, year, etc. Then, be realistic. Unfortunately it’s highly unlikely that a bag will sell if its price is too steep. If you feel attached to your handbag and think that the average selling price is far too low, it might be time to reassess whether selling is good option!
Sometimes bags just need a little love in order to look their best. Unless your handbag is in great condition, you might want to considering prepping it for sale. Depending on the condition, this might mean cleaning the bag with the appropriate solutions and tools to deal with stains, marks, scratches, and dirt. If you’re unsure how to clean your bag, it’s wise to call the boutique or store where you purchased it. Taking it to a professional is also an option.
