Good source for used designer bags?

November 25, 2012 5:10 PM

I'm looking for sites where you've had a good experience buying second-hand (preowned, preloved, &c.) designer bags--purses, clutches, and so forth. I am out of my depth, personally.

Have a leisurely read through PurseForum. What price ranges are you looking at, as that will make a difference as to what venues would be [not] recommended?

Response by poster: What price ranges are you looking at?

$300 - $400 USD, say.

I don't have a specific recommendation for websites, but a while ago I stumbled across this post on how to buy second-hand Chanel bags - I imagine the advice generalizes to some degree to other designers and items. The post also links to other posts that discuss buying pre-owned designer items. It's a short post, and absolutely worth a read.
