When it comes to vintage Hermès and Louis Vuitton, pricing can make or break a sale. Price too high and your items sit unsold for months. Price too low and you leave hundreds, even thousands, on the table.
The top resellers don’t just “go with their gut” when pricing. They use data to set prices that move inventory quickly and maximize profit margins.
Why Data-Driven Pricing Works
Luxury resale pricing is dynamic. Market demand shifts based on trends, availability, and seasonality. Without data, you’re guessing. With data, you can:
- Spot Demand Spikes: If Hermès Evelyne bags in gold leather are trending, you’ll know to price accordingly.
- Avoid Undercutting Yourself: Historical sales data shows what buyers have paid before, giving you confidence in holding firm on price.
- Respond to Market Changes Fast: If Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 bags are suddenly oversupplied, data tells you to adjust pricing to stay competitive.
The 5 Key Data Points Every Luxury Reseller Should Track
- Historical Sale Prices – For the exact model, size, and material.
- Current Active Listings – Your competition and their price points.
- Turnover Time – How quickly specific models sell.
- Seasonal Demand Trends – Which months drive higher prices.
- Condition Impact – The value difference between “like new” and “good” condition.
How to Gather and Apply This Data
- Monitor Resale Platforms: Track sold listings on Vestiaire Collective, Fashionphile, and 1stDibs.
- Leverage Your Own Inventory Data: Tools like Oly store your historical sales automatically, so you can filter by brand, model, and margin.
- Adjust Pricing Strategically: If a style moves fast, you may be underpricing. If it sits too long, reduce price or bundle it in a promotion.
