Used crossbody bags in Los Angeles typically sell for $20 to $120. Crossbody bags live or die on the strap and hardware, because those take all the wear on a bag worn constantly.
Selling a crossbody bag in Los Angeles
Los Angeles runs on cars and on the entertainment industry, and both show up in what gets listed. Camera and lighting gear circulates here in a way it does almost nowhere else, and the climate means outdoor furniture and sports equipment stay usable year-round rather than spending half their life in a garage.
Freelance and project-based work means people move often and at short notice, and gear bought for one production regularly comes onto the market when it wraps. Household turnover is high across the rental stock generally.
Distance is the real cost of a collection here, not the price. A seller on the other side of the basin can be ninety minutes each way in traffic, so most people arrange handovers on their own side of town and name a specific parking situation.
For camera and lighting gear, ask whether it came off a production and how heavily it was used. Rental-fleet equipment can be excellent value, but it has worked far harder than the hours suggest.
Handing it over in Los Angeles
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Put in the description
- Width, height and depth in centimetres, and the maximum strap drop

Light and cheap to post. Stuff it lightly with paper so it holds its shape, and wrap the hardware so it does not scuff the leather in transit.
