Pointers for Selling Your Designer Handbag
Planning to clean out your closet? You may have to throw some items out, but hopefully not your handbags – lots of resale options out there. An afternoon of organizing your stuff and taking pictures might just fetch you enough to buy you some new bags.
Before reselling your handbags online, consider the following tips:
Check pricing online.
Before you offer your handbags online, make sure you’ve set relevant prices for them. Look online and find out how much similar items have sold for in recent months. For example, you can check the completed sales archives of sites like eBay or Amazon. Of course, you have to look into other things as well, such as how well-conditioned the item is. Whatever the bag’s price was when you purchased it, be realistic and always set your price from your potential buyer’s position.
Additionally, don’t forget to factor in resale fees (unless you’re dealing with the buyer directly). These can go from a small percentage off of the bag’s price to as much as half of your total sale, so make read up before moving forward. Of course, you’ll want to maximize your potential return or at least avoid unpleasant surprises.
Take quality pictures.
To attract the most attention from prospective buyers, take high-quality pictures of your handbags. Your cell phone will do just fine, provided its camera is good. Take pictures with natural lighting to get the best outcome. Look for that perfect spot in your yard and snap snap snap!
Know what buyers want. Every big brand will have indicators of authenticity, be it zipper markings, interior tags, hot stamping, etc. Designer handbag buyers are often veterans, so they know just what to look for in every piece they’re considering. When they know they’re getting the real deal, they will be happy to pay more.
Be careful with individual buyers.
If you’re selling to an individual, be a little more observant and discerning. If they want you to take the transaction off the service or they want to use a relatively unknown payment processor, be suspicious. These things concern buyers a lot, but even as a seller, you have to be vigilant.
Be reasonable.
Lastly, if you want people to do something that brings you benefits, try to determine what would increase the possibility of them actually doing it. Have a heart for people who are set to give you money! Give them clear pictures, respond to their communications in a timely and respectful manner, and ship when you say you will. If you can do all three, there’s a much better chance of a repeat business in the future.
