Do you pay instant cash?

We name the payment method and timing at acceptance. If payment is ACH or cheque, it is not instant cash. Local buyouts are arranged before you leave when you accept.

Is every bag eligible for a cash buyout?

No. Core buy brands are Louis Vuitton, modern Chanel, and Goyard, plus selective others. Hermès and Gucci are consign-only. Some conditions or verification outcomes mean we decline.

What does conditional mean on a cash offer?

The offer depends on physical inspection and authentication steps. A preliminary photo range is not a cash commitment.

Can I ship instead of visiting?

Yes — insured ship-in with a prepaid label when we offer that path. Firm conditional offer timing and payment timing are stated for ship-in at acceptance.

When is consignment smarter than cash?

When you can wait and the expected net after commission matters more than resolving today. See buyout vs consignment for the tradeoffs.

Bring it in today. Leave with payment today — when you accept a firm conditional offer after in-person inspection.

All offers are conditional pending physical inspection and authentication. “Same day” means a completed local appointment with a firm offer you accept — not a binding number from photos alone.

What “conditional cash” means here

A preliminary range from photos (target: within about four business hours) is guidance with comps stated.

A firm cash buyout offer happens only after physical inspection and authentication (or the verification steps we publish for that value band).

If you accept at a local appointment, we pay by the method we agree before you leave — physical currency, ACH, or cheque. If payment is ACH or cheque, we will not call it “instant cash.” We will say the method and when it clears.

Same-day appointment vs slower local options

Our local wedge is same-day conditional offer at appointment (Green Hills / Franklin) or come-to-you for qualifying collections — vs shops that consign at 40–50% and wait, or buyers who quote on a multi-business-day cycle.

Store names and timings: keep factual; update from competitive monitoring. counsel skim.

What we buy for cash (vs consign-only)

Cash buyout heart ($500–$5k): Louis Vuitton (liquidity models) · Chanel modern non-exotic · Goyard (scarce — we push to top of our range when arithmetic allows) · selective Dior / Prada / YSL / Bottega

Consignment only (not cash buy): Hermès · Gucci

We decline for cash (and often entirely): exotic skins · vintage Chanel before ~2005 · pieces we cannot verify · sellers who cannot produce photo ID + ownership warranty

Three paths to a cash decision

Private appointment — inspect while you wait; firm offer; pay on acceptance
Come-to-you — collections estimated above ~$2,500
Insured ship-in — firm offer within one business day of arrival; pay within one business day of acceptance

How payment works (name method + timing)

Situation	What we say
In-person acceptance, cash	Paid before you leave
In-person acceptance, ACH	Initiated same day; bank posting timing named
In-person acceptance, cheque	Handed same day; bank hold is your bank’s
Ship-in acceptance	Within one business day of acceptance by stated method

Never use “instant cash” as blanket hero copy if ACH/cheque is in the mix.

When cash is the wrong choice for you

We’d rather say this upfront:

You can wait 30–90 days and the bag is in strong demand above ~$2,000 → consign often nets more. See /buyout-vs-consignment.
Bag likely above ~$15,000 → Vestiaire self-list or auction path may beat our buyout; we’ll say so.
One bag under ~$400 → marketplace DIY may serve better.
Hermès Birkin/Kelly excellent → ask an auction house too; compare minimum commissions.

Honesty here is cheaper than a bad review later.

Condition snapshot

Flaws adjust the number; they don’t always decline the bag. Full accepted/declined table: /sell-designer-bags and brand pages. Sticky lining, smoke, worn-through corners, and non-original hardware are common hard declines.
