Suggestions where to sell bags???

[sandrac823]

Does anyone have any good suggestions where to sell some of my Louis Vuitton bags besides ebay? Are there any websites besides ebay that deals only with authentic bags?

Ebay is my only suggestion.

Ebay makes me nervous! I guess I am stuck with that as my only option.

Ebay as a seller... who is honest, is not so bad... as a buyer who is desperate for something... that is when ebay is not so trustworthy.


I say use ebay. My boyfriend sells cars on ebay... has had no major problems.

I would suggest checking out Piece Unique. Or check with your local charities - every once in a while I donate handbags to a local charity that auctions them off (Feel good and get a tax write off!)

I wouldn't recommend ebay. My husband's hobby is high-end home theater. If he gets a new piece of equipment, sometimes he'll sell the old piece on ebay. On the last two items he sold the high bidder didn't pay - which is a pain in the ****. Considering how little he sells, two nonpaying bidders is a huge percentage - leading me to believe the problem is rampant. Ebay, in my opinion, isn’t worth the hassle.

I am a little aggravated with ebay. I just had to cancel my highest bidder because she thought my bag was the salsa Musette when it is really the Musette and it clearly states that. I have 24 hours left in the auction. When she was the highest bidder and my reserve was met my watchers went down by more than half. Now all of those people will not be looking at my bag again. I have had to relist things also because people have not paid. I don't know how but it seems like there is a little circle that people have on ebay to bid against you or to buy it now to get your item off ebay so their items sells. Then your buyer does not pay. Then you are afraid to leave negative feedback because they might be vindicative and leave negative feedback for you. I don't want ANY negative feedback especially when selling things like Louis Vuitton. It is too stressful!

me too -- I've never left bad feedback because people can be such pyscho stalkers! but I've made sure the bidder felt really really bad (and luckily, the people who flaked on me have been genuinely sorry -- one even paid my relisting fees without any problem). I sold my entire LV collection on eBay without too much trouble, but that was a while back. sorry you've been hassled by evil eBayers -- I think it's getting worse.

another option is a consignment boutique. I've sold bags through them but they take a pretty big cut (like 40%). if you've got high-end bags you might try jemznjewels, which is an online consignment store. I've never bought from or sold anything to them so you're on your own.

I canceled her bid but figured I would let the last 24 hours run it's course. Should I cancel the whole auction?

I called the consignment shops here in Chicago yesterday and they told me about the 40%. My bags that I sell are so new. Like the bag I am selling now is only 5-6 mopnths old. I keep all my receipts so I do not have a hard time selling the bags. So for me the consignment shop would be a total waste. Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I am just frustrated because I feel like people plot against you on ebay. You are right though, most of the time ebay works great but thier are some pople that abuse it. I guess that is the price you pay!

If you are fine with your reserve price and get it.. then sell it.. but if you're not and you have set a reserve.. you don't have to sell it. the relisting option is always open.. Was this person that withdrew her bid.. did she account for a lot of the raising of the price?

He can file a non paying bidder claim and get his fees back and relist for free.

What bags do you have for sale? I am interested in buying a LV, esp. if they are like new, less than a year old. Please let me know.
