Peaks in demand coincide with September-October (return to routine after summer), November (before Christmas), and February-March (beginning of spring). July and August are the slowest months—if you can wait, avoid listing in summer.
If you prefer not to manage photos, negotiations, shipping, and returns, LUMË has two options tailored to your needs.
Consignment — you keep the bag at home. You send us the photos, we list your bag on LUMË, and when it sells, you receive the agreed-upon money. No risk, no upfront payment, no prior shipping.
Direct sale — you send us the bag physically, we verify it, and we make you a purchase offer. You get paid immediately, with no waiting or uncertainty. No commissions.
In both cases, the process starts the same way: you send us 5 photos of the bag, and in less than 48 hours, you receive a free personalized valuation. No obligation.
