Yes, it's hard to find a serious, quick and turnkey option for selling and buying second-hand jewellery or luxury items. 

As the article points out, it's quite natural to look for a bargain on sites offering a very wide range, but disappointment is often the result.

Buying luxury second-hand

Buying second-hand luxury jewellery from a stranger on a lambda platform is quite risky. If you pay before you receive the jewellery, can you be sure that you will actually receive it? How can you be sure of its quality? But if you hand it over personally, where are you going to meet the seller? How will you pay? In cash? How can you be sure? Especially when it comes to brand-name jewellery, because there are a lot of very well-made counterfeits circulating on these sites.

Selling second-hand luxury goods
To sell to professionals, it's the same thing: you can consult a local jeweller, a 'marchand' or an auction house, and all the prices advertised will certainly be different. The auctioneer will give a low estimate, which is more attractive to potential bidders, in the knowledge that the price may (perhaps) rise during the sales (and also in the knowledge that the price rises even more after the buyer's commission). The jeweller may give you a higher price, but will usually refer you to a dealer who buys in cash, but at a rather low price.

That's exactly why we created weprecious.com. So that selling second-hand luxury jewellery between private individuals is neither a stress nor a hassle.
