You’ve decided to part ways with your designer handbag. Whether it’s a Chanel Flap that no longer fits your lifestyle or a Hermès Birkin you’re ready to trade in for a fresh addition, one question remains: Should you sell it for instant cash (Direct Buy-out) or place it on Consignment?

| Feature | Direct Buy-out (Cash Now) | Consignment (Max Profit) |
|---|---|---|
| Payout Speed | Immediate (Same-day) | When the item sells (4-8 weeks avg) |
| Profit Margin | Lower (Liquidity Premium) | Higher (15-20% more on average) |
| Effort Required | Zero | Minimal (Handled by specialist) |
