The RealReal

The RealReal is the world's largest online marketplace for authenticated, consigned luxury goods. Unlike peer-to-peer apps, The RealReal takes possession of the items, authenticates them with a team of experts, and handles the photography and shipping. It is the premier destination for selling high-end brands like Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.

Consignors can schedule a free home pickup in many cities or ship their items for free. The platform pays a commission based on the sale price, with rates increasing as you sell more. It is a legitimate and effortless way to monetize luxury fashion, jewelry, and art, providing a secure alternative to risky direct sales.
