DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSET IS IN SELLING BAGS ONLINE?
In 7 years of experience we have learned one very important thing: the value of a used bag is determined by a series of objective factors, such as market demand, condition, authenticity, of course, but also and above all by totally subjective factors, namely the sentimental value that binds us to it and the free time you have available to try to sell it.
Today I will talk to you about this second factor. How much sand from your hourglass do you want to use to sell your old bag?
What we always want to distinguish ourselves by is our seriousness. We don't have large budgets to spend on advertising campaigns or famous influencers, so, to try to sell our used bags, we can only rely on ourselves. Before verifying theauthenticity of the bags we commit to being authentic with you the moment you offer us yours.
The first piece of advice I feel I can give you is this: if you have a lot of free time (how much I envy you) I advise you to sell your bags yourself! Strange, right? Am I going against my interests? Yes, but I prefer to be honest. If you are able to convey trust, reliability and if you know how to navigate through a thousand channels where you can sell your used bags, you will undoubtedly be able to earn a few dozen euros more than the offer we would make you. But at what price? I'll tell you mine.
Is it easy to sell your things online? Unfortunately, no! After years of experience we still struggle and still study day after day what could be the right way to find a new home for the bags you entrust to us. But if you have the most important resource, time, a cell phone and you know how to use a few apps you will be able to achieve the results you hope for. So good luck. You won't find anything interesting in the continuation of this post. So I won't waste your time (by the way).
For all those who instead struggle to carve out even a single second for themselves, I will explain why our offer, in the end, will still be the most convenient for you.
To sell effectively online you need to open yourself up to various promotional channels, respond (if the item has found its place on the market) to dozens of requests and very often, following a thousand requests for photos, measurements and absurd price offers, hear the most hated phrase of all: “I'LL THINK ABOUT IT”. I assure you that this “phase” alone is worth at least 60 euros: the price of a session with a cognitive behavioral psychologist or a one-month yoga subscription.
Well, if you have managed to close your deal now you will have to talk about PAYMENTS! ”Oh how nice” (you will think) and instead you are wrong! The most delicate phase is about to begin. A buyer wants to have two things: “references” and “secure payment methods”. What is needed to get them? TIME. For the first ones it might take months before you have those reviews capable of conveying peace of mind to those who buy from you, for the second ones much less, but you still have to take more time to open a PayPal account, where you will be paid immediately, but you will only be the master of your money after a few days, the time that even PayPal trusts you.
Have you seen how long it takes to get to this point? Well, you are still halfway there. Now you have to ship. In this case I am sure I don't need to describe to you what it means to spend time looking for a box, going to the post office, taking a ticket and waiting your turn to finally ship your package.
If you are already tired know that I have only described the tip of the iceberg of selling used bags online. There is so much more you will have to keep in mind: sending the tracking code, possible return requests, because maybe the bag looks bigger in person than in the photos (after you had taken the photos with the ruler to reassure her about the real measurements) In short, the life of a used goods seller online is a real nightmare that I recommend to my enemies!
I'm going to close this analysis on the “search for lost time” with a little advertising tag. I hope you will grant it to me. If you have thought that your time and your peace of mind are worth more than a few euros, earned with great effort, write to us on WhatsApp here and send us a photo of the bags you want to sell. We will make you an offer within 48 hours (working hours) and if we find an agreement, we will quickly arrange payment and pickup.
I like to close with a quote from a guy a little more important than me:
“Time is relative, its only value is given by what we do while it is passing”

He maybe would sell his 24 hours to Vivo Vintage
