The decision to purchase a new bag is a thrilling one, especially when it comes to the big H. Yes, you guessed it, we’re talking about Hermès, which for many is the holy grail of bag brands. With fashion’s push towards shopping more sustainably coupled with the current economic climate, the resale market has become a buyer’s haven for secondhand finds. Now more than ever, buyers are turning towards the secondhand market to find their holy-grail bags and as more sellers look to streamline their collections, there are more options than ever.
We know that shopping the resale market can be overwhelming, so we’ve gathered info on some of Hermès’ most popular bags in order to help you make a clear, informed choice if you’re looking to purchase a pre-loved piece. To be clear, all prices are in USD and represent the current range of selling prices on popular resale sites. Included with each style you’ll find the average median selling price across all resale sites (excluding exotic prices which are notated with an asterisk*). Keep in mind that prices can vary greatly on the secondary market regardless of the brand, but with Hermès particularly, seasonal, limited edition, or highly sought after colorways will impact the cost dramatically.

Thank you for this! I think many people don’t realize that Hermes resale is AWFUL! Other than B/K (which, when you factor in both the commission from a resale site and any “extras” you had to purchase to score said bag really mean you’ve lost money on those) Hermes bags go for far less % than other brands as a whole. Constance is trending downward as well, I’ve noticed. I have a brand new C24 Rose Pourpre Evercolor, and FP just offered me 7k. Things are changing!
I’ve purchased Hermes Birkin’s and Kelly’s for years and a week before Hermes shuttered its doors, due to Covid-19, I purchased my “dream” Birkin. At times, I’ve sold a few Birkin’s to FP and they try to lowball me. However, I negotiate until I receive a better price, but never for less than I’ve paid. Anyway, did you sell your C24 for 7K? That price is insane and insulting!
Oh and congrats on your dream Birkin!! What did you get?
No I didn’t. I’ve probably sold 500 or more bags to them, and sometimes they can give great quotes! Most of the time though, they are sort of where the marketplace is. I did sell a C24 to them a few months ago (pre-COVID) epsom, not new, and they gave me $10500. I do think that the Constance market has waned, and there are a ton of them on TRR and FP, which would make some sense. I have sold them a couple of Birkins and a Kelly, and pretty much I just got what I paid retail, which was fine because I was just looking to fund other purchases (not profit). I wish the other Hermes bags retained more value, but it is what it is. I ordered a Vert Criquet Evelyne FINALLY literally the day before the looters hit Rodeo Drive, so it’s just sitting there all paid for and ready to come to me. Rodeo is apparently covered in razor wire until at least next week. With production and supply down, it really will be interesting to see how the 2020 marketplace is affected won’t it?
Yes, I’ve sold a lot to FP, over the course of 10 + years, to fund other bags, too. In the past few months I’ve submitted pristine, never used, store fresh Chanel, Dior, etc. bags only to receive a quote for less than 50%. They try to qualify their quotes by stating it”s the “current market price” which is fine, but I’m not giving away my bags.
As far as Rodeo Drive it’s crazy that they have to protect their stores by covering them in razor wire?!?? My Hermes and other stores are not affected since, where I reside, peaceful protestors far outweigh looters. Anyway, when you finally receive your Vert Criquet Evelyne, enjoy! It’s a beautiful color and a great bag!
FP has gotten really pretty bad. I did let a few bags go for not much, maybe half, I just wasn’t in the mood to care at ATM and trusted that their price was based on demand UNTIlL I saw them list the bags for almost double! I was like , wow. Ballsy.
I am glad where you are has been peaceful! My states def had a few bad nights, but it seems to be calming down. Fingers crossed. I hope I love the green, if so, maybe a bigger purchase in it. Enjoy your HG!! So glad you got it before all the mess!!
FP-Fashiobphile?
Yes!
Still picking up my jaw off the floor… 500 bags sold?!!!
I was doing exactly this 🙂
Yep. Just over $1m at this point in payouts. For sure I win a prize, but it’s not the prize anyone else wants 😉
Feel like we need to hear this story though… if you want to tell it, send me an email : megs at purseblog dot com (not putting it in there properly to get spammed!)
I think that this may be one of the most eagerly anticipated and interesting stories to read on purseblog.com!
OR!!! or….I am just a flagrantly irresponsible compulsive idiotic bag collector who can’t make up her mind and and LAND THE DAMN PLANE! I always tell my husband, you’d think with my bag, car, furniture, home constant rotating fetish I would have trouble staying married to the same person for this long. (Luckily that’s far from the case ??) – And for anyone out there who might think to say, you could do so much better by giving that money away to causes and foundations, YES I do that with the same reckless abandon.
I knew you were my “person”! Between buying bags and selling them (I peaked at $250K to FB), buying and selling 4 houses in 11 years, redecorating them in different styles, trading in cars, donating my time, money and resources to charity, working full time, etc., my darling husband still puts up with my indecisiveness! Maybe he wouldn’t if my craziness wasn’t profitable. Anyway, our current home is our last. Do I care what my family and friends think? Nope!
Omg I dont feel bad about myself any longer. It’s fun to buy and sell purses, cars and homes. I work for my money and I don’t have to answer to anybody right?
Ahhhh!! I am not alone! Thank God 🙂 I too, am committed to staying in the same places I am in now for at least 4 years. We will see how that goes. Good luck to you too!!!! Feels good to land the plane….(sometimes).
Can you also list the MSRP for these?
Really hard to list the MSRP because there are so many different leathers that change the pricing.
I don’t understand the appeal of the Lindy.
Me either!
I own a large one and enjoy the uniqueness of the design backed up with the excellent quality and craftsmanship. Without the shoulder strap it would be awkward to use with the two small handles; however, with that said it isn’t a bag for everyone. The Hermes bag I don’t understand is the Picotin since it’s simple, unattractive and grossly overpriced. Neither bag holds their value since I’ve seen them listed, in pristine condition on the secondary market, but for half their retail price. After being an Hermes customer for years the one consistency is that the Birkin holds its value. High end online stores sell pristine Birkins for $19K+ when they are currently sold for a little over 13K, including tax.
I spent $8000 full price for my Bolide at the Hermes store in Beverly Hills. Why do you quote such a cheaper price ?
This is resale price not brand new price.
Some H designs just don’t have high resale prices. Bolide is one of them.
