Used Samsonite bags and handbags typically sell for $19 to $309 (about £14 to £230) depending on the bag and its condition. Bags are judged on four corners and a lining. Those are the places wear actually shows, they are the places buyers zoom into, and they are the places sellers most often photograph around. Everything else about the listing is secondary to showing them honestly.

Size, capacity and what fits inside on Samsonite bags and handbags
Samsonite luggage splits into hard shell and soft sided cases, and both are sold by cabin, medium and large sizing rather than by litres. Wheel configuration is a separate axis: two wheels or four.
- Hard shell cabin and medium cases are what sells, narrowed on size and wheel count
- Soft sided cases are lighter and expand, and sell to a different traveller entirely
What to check before you buy
Test every wheel and both the handle stages, and photograph the shell corners. Wheels and telescopic handles are what fail on luggage, and neither can be judged from a photograph of the case standing still.
For the checks that apply to any used bags and handbags regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used bags and handbags.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $164 Samsonite bag, a marketplace charging 20% takes $33, one charging 13.6% takes $22 and one charging 10% takes $16. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $164.
Listing your Samsonite bags and handbags
- Photograph the interior brand stamp and any serial or date code alongside the exterior. It is what a careful buyer asks for and offering it unprompted builds trust
- Include the dust bag and any spare strap and say so in the title. They are worth more than sellers expect because they are not separately available

Questions
What should be checked on used luggage?
The wheels, the telescopic handle at every stage, the zips along their full length and the shell corners for cracks. Those are the parts that fail, and a case that rolls badly or has a sticking handle is worth very little however good the shell looks.
