If you're anything like the girls on Sex and the City, you probably
have a handbag suitable for every outfit. Even if you're not Carrie
Bradshaw, most women do own a variety of purses for the changing seasons
of the year, and changing trends. Chances are, purses are stored in
closets, in dresser drawers, and even underneath beds. And many of these
handbags probably have seen the light of day in years. eBay is the
perfect medium for exchanging these purses for cash, more so than a
garage sale or consignment shop, since your purse has more value on
Ebay, and will be seen by thousands of possible buyers. The trick is,
knowing what will sell and how to sell it for the best price, for you
and the consumer.
Before you decide to sell your cherished
distressed leather patchwork clutch or your sleek Kate Spade microfiber
tote, take a browse or two around Ebay's handbag selection to see what
is being listing and at what price. This will give you an idea of what
to expect for the items you own. Handbags that are popular and get the
best price are used Kate Spade, Coach, Vera Bradley, and Dooney and
Burke handbags. Super chic designers such as Ballenciaga, Prada, Chanel,
Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Anya Hindmarch are top sellers
and will always bring in top dollar. However, be aware that handbag
knockoffs are abundant.
A low starting price, such as $10 for a Hermes
Birkin bag, is usually a tip off that the product is not genuine. If
yours is a genuine label, make sure to start your bidding price at a
reasonable and fair number, and always tell your customers in the text
that the item is genuine and guaranteed authentic. Telling the bidder
where the item was originally purchased, such as Saks Fifth Avenue or
Neiman Marcus, will also help give you credibility, as well as target
more search hits. If you're worried that you won't get a good amount for
your precious Prada backpack that you spent a good paycheck on, then
make sure to list the item with a reserve price. This reserve price, set
by you, will ensure that you will get the amount you want, or you will
keep it, to sell it again later, or to enjoy.
