Websites or Forums for Selling Designer Handbag

Hi OzBargainers,

I'm looking for suggestions on where to sell a designer handbag I bought my girlfriend, I bought this on a whim to surprise her a few months ago and although she loves it, she won't use it much and has now decided she would rather sell it and use the money to buy herself a laptop (if we can sell it without losing much).

The bag has been used once and is in perfect condition with all authenticity cards, receipt etc and as far as I know, it's a very popular bag and in quite high demand as it sells out quickly and fairly limited.

I would list it on OzB but I can't until my account is over 1 year old or I've posted a deal over a certain time ago so have to look elsewhere.
I'm considering Gumtree but.. it's Gumtree and a pretty expensive bag, I don't have much feedback on Ebay and I know there will be questions regarding authenticity so would like to deal in person if possible (Melbourne).

I have found a few websites which offer to buy or consign but only offer 50%-70% return which my girlfriend isn't happy with and would rather just keep the bag if we were to lose so much.

Thanks in advance!
Rai

      NO WAY. That forum died 10 years ago.

    Honestly your best bet is selling it yourself to her friend.

    Otherwise
    - Reebonz
    - Ebay
    - Reseller.

    Ebay will recoup the most apart from a direct interpersonal sale.
    Depending on the bag (feel free to PM me) you will automatically lose value as it's like a car. Once it leaves the store it loses value. Except certain bags.

    Thanks for the replies and sorry I couldn't get back on sooner.

    It is a YSL Monogramme bag and is the exact one in the link below.

    I'm not sure how limited the bag is but I was told it sells out quite quickly when available in store.
    I will have a look at reebonz as I didn't come across that.

    I saw the vogue forums and the most recent related post was from almost a decade ago.

    I bought her the bag which she does like but I guess she's more worried about destroying it should she use it and would rather have a new laptop if we can get a good price for the bag.

    I did initially think to buy her a laptop but thought she'd like the bag more, I still have a lot to learn!

      good to learn your GF being practical and save your wallet.

      nice handbag, more suitable for special occasion with long dress. your GF is right.
