Buying bags & handbags in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so on designer pieces the buyer’s own inspection is the whole of the evidence. Being able to examine stitching, hardware and stamps at length, and ask the seller directly, is worth far more than any listing.
What to check in person
Check the corners, the strap attachment points, the zip action and the lining, in that order. Corners go first on a bag that has been used properly, and a lining that has torn away from the seam is a repair rather than a defect.
Collecting it in Perth
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Selling your bags & handbags in Perth free
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
Empty it completely and wipe the lining out before anybody sees it, since crumbs and old receipts undo an otherwise good impression. Be straightforward about corner wear and marks, which every experienced buyer checks before anything else. Steady through the year, with a lift in autumn as people move back to structured bags.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
