THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CONSIGNING YOUR LUXURY ITEMS ONLINE
Selling used luxury items on consignment can be a fun way to make money on items you no longer use. However, it is important to know if your old luxury items will sell. To make sure you don't miss out on getting the most out of your collections, you can follow these tips to find out if your item will spark interest from buyers.
When it comes time to sell on consignment, one of the best tips to ensure your items are not rejected is to ensure they are clean and in good repair before your appointment. Broken clasps and closures on clothing and accessories can both ruin its value and a customer’s willingness to buy them.
Before selling anything on consignment, it is good to search online marketplaces for second-hand goods from the same brands. If you find an exact copy of your item, you can compare yours to the one listed. Is yours in a better, similar, or worse condition? Finding comparable items in other online marketplaces can give you a good idea about the marketability of your item. Doing this research can also ensure that you’re getting the best price for its condition.
To help figure out the marketability of your items, you can also research the year and location they were made. The timeless nature of such goods makes some of them ideal for resale. Designers often change their production processes over the years, and luxury items often have markings or serial numbers that will tell you when and where the item was produced. Vintage items in excellent condition are highly desirable and lucrative!
Anything that you sell on consignment has to be in near-perfect condition and ready to wear. The durability of luxury goods can help determine whether it is a good fit for the resale market. Is the stitching torn on your clothing item or accessory?
Small details like these are often easy to miss, but a consignment business will know how to spot them when inspecting items for resale. If you notice any rips, tears, stains, or other imperfections, you should consider having them repaired before taking them for consignment selling.
