Sourcing Designer Handbags

Where you source affects your margins as much as where you sell. Estate sales and consignment stores in suburbs like Toorak, Double Bay, and Ascot are prime hunting grounds. Check for authentication markers. date codes, serial tags, hardware engravings. Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci move fastest in AU.

Photograph hardware, interior lining, serial/date codes, stitching, zipper pulls, and base. Shoot in even lighting to show true colour. Include dust bag and box if available. Good photos are the difference between a scroll-past and a sale, regardless of platform.

Pricing Designer Handbags

AU prices run 10-20% above US comps due to local retail markup and import costs. Chanel appreciates yearly. Louis Vuitton Neverfull and Speedy are the bread-and-butter models with consistent demand. Factor in eBay's authentication program which adds buyer confidence. Always check sold listings on each platform before setting your price. The same item can sell for different amounts on different platforms because buyer expectations vary.

Factor in platform fees when comparing prices. A $100 sale on a platform charging 0% leaves you with a different take-home than a $95 sale on a platform charging 9%. Run the numbers before deciding where to list first.
