Right, so you’re thinking about selling your Louis Vuitton Neverfull. Smart move, maybe you’re eyeing something new and shiny (we all do it!), or perhaps you just need some extra dough. Whatever the reason, let’s get real about what you can actually *get* for that bad boy.
First off, forget thinking you’re gonna get back what you paid, unless you literally bought it like, yesterday and kept it sealed in a vault. The resale market for designer bags is a jungle, a real free-for-all. Seriously, there’s so much competition out there. You gotta do your homework.
I mean, I saw one site claiming a used Neverfull can go for, like, $1,521 on average. Ummm, okay, maybe if it’s been blessed by a unicorn and comes with a winning lottery ticket inside! More realistically, you’re looking at *significantly* less than that. And honestly, the low end being $299 sounds a bit too low to be true, unless it’s seriously beat up. Think ripped canvas, missing straps kinda beat up.
Sites like Poshmark are good for a quick and dirty estimate, but you gotta sift through all the listings and, let’s be honest, some people are straight-up delusional with their pricing. And then there’s Fashionphile, they’re usually pretty legit, but they’re also gonna want to make a profit, so don’t expect them to offer you top dollar. I love Fashionphile though, their authentication process is killer, so you at least know you’re getting the real deal when you buy. Buying or selling!
One thing to consider: what condition is your bag in? Obvi, a pristine, barely-touched Neverfull is gonna fetch more than one that’s been dragged through the mud (figuratively, hopefully!). Any scratches, stains, watermarks, loose threads… all that stuff chips away at the value. Also, is it a classic canvas or a limited edition? Limited editions usually go for more… usually. And don’t forget the date code! That’s crucial for proving its authenticity, which is everything in this market.
