Continuing from last time. Some people may have brand items such as wallets, handbags, watches, and jewelry at home. When you no longer use brand items, you may choose to sell them. What points should you pay attention to in order to sell them at a high price? This time, we asked Kotoko Okuoka from the flea market app operated by Rakuten, “Rakuma,” and Yuka Iwata from “KOMEHYO,” which buys and sells branded items, for tips on selling branded items.
What are the tips for selling branded items at a high price on a flea market app?
–Even if you think you no longer use it, some people hesitate to sell it if it has scratches or stains. Can this item be sold on a flea market app?
Rakuma, Kotoko Okuoka: Brand items often sell well even when used. The selling price varies depending on the brand, design, and amount of damage. Used brand items can sometimes be bought cheaper than new ones, and there is a popularity for older designs as well.
–Are there any tips for selling brand items at a higher price?
Rakuma, Kotoko Okuoka: The selling price varies greatly depending on the condition of the item. This applies to non-brand items as well, but items with minimal damage and in good condition tend to sell at higher prices. Also, having accessories such as the original box, storage bag, and warranty card with the brand item can increase its selling price.
–Are there any things to be careful about when listing an item?
Rakuma, Kotoko Okuoka: In a flea market app, the photos determine the first impression of the item, so what kind of photos you post is crucial. When taking photos, do not just place the item randomly, but try displaying it like in a showcase. The impression can change just by placing a piece of paper or felt. Also, since you will be taking photos at home, be mindful of the background to avoid capturing unnecessary things. To prevent the colors in the photo from looking different from the actual item, it is recommended to take photos under natural light rather than direct sunlight.
Things you can do to get a higher price for your items at a brand buying store
–Even when bringing brand items to a buying store like KOMEHYO, it is possible to sell them. Are there any things you should do in advance to get a higher buying price?
KOMEHYO, Yuka Iwata: For brand items like bags or wallets, if you do not have the guarantee card (appraisal certificate) that comes with the purchase of the brand item, please note that some stores may not be able to buy it. Also, if there are stains, cleaning it at home is a tip for selling it at a higher price. However, be careful not to damage the material by trying to remove stains forcefully. Additionally, storing brand bags in boxes can cause mold to grow and deteriorate the condition of the bag, which can decrease the buying price, so it is recommended to store them without boxes. In this case, to prevent dirt and damage on the corners and handles of the bag, it is good to wrap them with a scarf.
–What should you be aware of when selling brand watches?
KOMEHYO, Yuka Iwata: For watches, having accessories like the box and warranty certificate can increase the buying price. Even if the warranty period has passed, the warranty certificate contains information such as the purchase location and date, which can add value equal to the purchase price. To give the buyer a sense of security, it is good to keep the warranty certificate. Attention should also be paid to the watch strap. If the watch band is too long for the wrist, it can be adjusted to be shorter, but if it is too short, you may need to purchase an additional band. Therefore, if there are recall parts remaining, there is a possibility of the price increasing.
–What about jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and earrings?
KOMEHYO, Yuka Iwata: Having a gemstone appraisal or authenticity certificate, brand warranty certificate, dedicated boxes, etc., can increase the buying price. For all the bags, watches, and jewelry mentioned earlier, it is recommended to store the accessories in their original condition. Even if you don’t have the accessories, there is no need to give up bringing them to the store. It is a buying process for the item itself, so it is best to have it appraised first.
Editor’s Note: When selling brand items, the secret to getting a high price is to have all the accessories that came with the purchase intact, such as boxes, bags, and warranty certificates. When purchasing brand items, it is wise to have a complete set without hesitation.
Next time, we will delve into how to use and utilize “flea market apps” and “brand shopping stores” correctly.
