The Best Places to Resell Designer Handbags Online

Here's where you'll get the most cash back.

Whether you're in need of a few extra bucks or simply want to make space for something new in your closet, adding a few consignment shops to your radar can certainly help.

It's actually easier than ever to turn that collection of unused items hiding in the back of your closet into cash. You don't have to stand in a long line for hours only to be told that the huge suitcase of stuff you brought in is only worth $17. Sorry, Plato's Closet, but you broke my heart too many times when I was in college. Of course you're not going to get full retail price for those vintage pieces, but nobody wants to be straight up ripped off.

Luckily, the boom of the secondhand luxury handbag market is here and purchasing and selling items has become a better experience for both buyers and sellers. Sure, there's always eBay, but there are more fashion-forward players in the game now, and they are willing to give you top dollar for your designer pieces.

These innovative digital marketplaces will do most of the work for you. In some cases, all you have to do is send them a few pictures of the item, and they'll even cover the shipping costs. Finding those trustworthy retailers would have been hard to do back in the pre-internet days, but the best of the best is, literally, just a click away now.
