    Maximizing Your Profit: A Complete Guide to Selling and Consigning Luxury Designer Items with TheRealReal

    This post may contain affiliate links. I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you make a purchase through these links. I only recommend products I personally use and love.

    Quick answer: Consigning with TheRealReal means you ship authenticated luxury designer items to them with a free prepaid label, and they handle photography, listing, pricing and the sale. This is my first hand walkthrough of adding items, printing the label, and what happened with my first consignment, a pair of vintage Salvatore Ferragamo slingback sandals.

    My First Item Consigned/Resold With TheRealReal: Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo Leather Bow Accents Slingback Sandals

    This absolutely spectacular pair of kitten heels were for sale at a local Salvation Army thrift store and I was sure to snag them as immediately as the pink leather insole sparkled across the room and quickly caught my attention. Like new, looking as if they’ve never been worn, I have never put something in my shopping cart so quickly as I did these.

    The pair was in an overall great condition & the only “cleaning” they required was a bit of leather cleaner solution & moisturizer from The Chemical Guys.

    Final Impressions & Overall Review Of TheRealReal:

    As my first item I sold/consigned with TheRealReal I am impressed with their service and I will most definitely be consigning/selling more items with them in the future. Their customer service team was very helpful. The overall time it took me was less than 15 minutes. $16 profit for 15 minutes of minimal effort was well worth it.
