Any advice on where to sell a bunch of new/new-ish Brunello Cucinelli items?
Just downsizing ~15 items that don’t fit. It’s all in a giant Google spreadsheet atm (if you want a peek PM me) and I’m hoping to avoid grailed / eBay if possible, but I haven’t gotten much interest on FMF b-s-t thread for understandable reasons — it’s way discounted but not j crew cheap — so would welcome any other ideas of where to try, eg threads on Reddit/discord/styleforum. Thx!

stylefourm has buy/sell subforum on classic menswear iirc
that place on ebay whose name I forget
LuxeSwap
LuxeSwap is probably the best option
However they do take a decent cut. You can get NoManWalksAlone credit if you want a better deal from it. But the client base from there is generally pretty wealthy so things can go up a lot in value
Thanks! Yea I’ve been eyeing luxeswap. The 40% is a gut punch (30% nmwa I think) but maybe that’s worth the eyeballs.
I pretty recently sold some stuff through them for the NMWA credit
It takes a while to get your money (but that's true with pretty much any reseller)
Thanks! I’ll check this out. I’ve found their classifieds to be a bit of a ghost town but a b-s-t thread is much more promising
Cool. Happy with the selection at nmwa? I’ve been a bit intimidated by the boutique names and prices
Yes
If you're intimidated on the prices their semi-annual sales are generally great
Also I haven't had to deal with their CS before but I've heard a lot of really good things
Right on
Off topic, but, has there been thought given to a b-s-t channel in this discord? I believe the mfa subreddit once had a recurring thread that was cancelled; and it would also be duplicative of the FMF, though perhaps different people and stuff
yeah we as the mods are a little reticent to have one as we had issues with scamming in the MFA version of the thread
Ah that’s what it was. Scamming. Makes sense.
Luxeswap takes 40%. They may be able to get you a bid price that's higher enough than you'd get on your own. You can also use ebay and just pay a bit to get the items advertised, that gets a fair bit of eyeballs.
What platforms would you recommend using
Each comes with their own issues but:
eBay
Grailed
TheRealReal (strong caution on this one I expect they're going to go under in the next year)
Poshmark
Vinted
Depop
Mercari
Vestiaire Collective
this is a post i made a while back https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/13sj5ta/how_to_sell_your_clothes/
BRO TRR FUCKED EVERY PRDER IVE MADE THERE
I see the platforms haven’t changed
Vesti is great though
they have a debt payment due in 2024? that's currently worth more than the market cap of the company
I’m going to their flagships in nyc next week
Might go this weekend
good luck finding any deals lmao
Return those packages in person
They didn’t send me a prepaid return or a receipt slip with a jacket worth 1/10 of what I ordered
zach has also had some travails with them
They always have had issues but there used to be some steals

eBay is best if you're looking to sell on your own. Grailed doesn't move BC very quickly. LuxeSwap is your next best bet, as they said.
But comes with caveat of sometimes auctions go for wayyyy lower than market price, on top of the commission

e.g. you can see pretty good prices for items here that I've sold vs. LuxeSwap's items:

Some of those sale prices are looooow
We had a similar discussion on re-selling old BC a few weeks back: https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116793468489039904/1130581548987588819
