And we\u2019re here to tell you that selling is just as easy as shopping, if not even easier; after all, who wouldn\u2019t like an extra allowance to put toward their next dream purchase? As the destination for luxury resale, we spoke to three of our Rebag experts for their number one tip on how to maximize your selling experience \u2013 not only because it makes the process easier, but because it can also increase your payout.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-title\">Tip #1: Clean and condition your bags upfront<\/h3>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">Ina, our Relationship Manager, advises all sellers to clean and condition their bags prior to selling. \u201cYour piece\u2019s resale value is significantly affected by it\u2019s quality,\u201d Ina explains. By following Ina\u2019s special advice below, you can \u201creveal the true condition of the bag,\u201d and in turn, allow Rebag to provide an accurate offer for your item.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When not in use, store your item in a dust bag, and its accessories inside the bag itself<\/li>\n<li>Wipe down and dust the exterior of your item to reveal any quality issues that you yourself can improve upon, such as buffing out scratches<\/li>\n<li>Clean the interior of the piece, and remove any personal belongings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">Most buyers, even us at Rebag, usually only purchase items in good condition. You can learn more about what wear is acceptable or not here in<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rebag.com\/condition_page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our condition guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-title\">Tip #2: Take excellent photos<\/h3>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">At Rebag, most of our offers are available instantly with Clair by Rebag, our luxury appraisal tool that can calculate the resale value of an item. But sometimes, Rebag may need photo submissions to ensure that our offer is as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">\u201cThe first step is to take photos in natural lighting in front of a white background,\u201d says Ryan, Rebag\u2019s VP of Seller Services. \u201cMake sure to take photos of the front, back, inside and bottom.\u201d Plus, for any minimal wear, make sure to take photos of that as well! For more photo tips, check out our<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rebag.com\/pictures_page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">image submission guidelines here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-title\">Tip #3:Sell what\u2019s in demand for the best ROI<\/h3>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">Our Merchandising Lead, Pri, has a tip for exactly what kind of items to sell. \u201cSell what\u2019s currently in demand for the best payout,\u201d Pri says. Part with the classic bags first &#8211; if you\u2019re willing to sell them, that is. This typically includes styles like the Chanel Classic Flap bag, or the Louis Vuitton Eva or Neverfull.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">\u201cIf you can\u2019t part with those just yet, then look for something that\u2019s currently trending, whether that\u2019s color, style or size.\u201d Buyers are still shopping seasonally in anticipation of being able to wear them out, and you may just have something that\u2019s high in demand in your closet!<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-blurb\">Do you want even more seller tips?
