Selling a tote bag in Phoenix
Seasonal residents arrive for the winter and leave in spring, and departures put furniture and sports equipment onto the market in a concentrated burst each year. Sun damage is the check worth making on anything that has lived outside.
Between June and September, meetings happen early in the morning or after dark for obvious reasons. The city is flat and parking is plentiful, so collecting large items is easy once the temperature allows it.
Sun is the thing that kills goods here. Check plastics, upholstery and rubber on anything that lived outdoors, and expect fading and brittleness even on items that were only a couple of summers old.
Phoenix, in Arizona, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Tucson, Mesa and Chandler are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Phoenix
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
What tote bags are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised designer and heritage labels
- Clean interiors and working closures
What pulls it down
- Ink and cosmetic marks inside the lining
- Worn corners and scuffed bases
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the label and feel the material
- Turn the lining out and inspect it
Getting it ready
- Empty every pocket and turn out the lining, then clean the base, which is where a tote shows its age first.
- Check the handle attachment points, since that is where stitching fails under weight.
