Dooney & Bourke sold on EBay...

Susan Louise — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 18:50:10 GMT

Can someone enlighten me please?...just curious...

Every once in awhile I will browse the offerings...

Since QVC sells D&B TSV's that come with accessories, and I never see them sold as such anywhere else as a deal, how do sellers make it worth their while by being able to sell for less than the 'as is' QVC price?

Since I have never been to a D&B outlet store, do the sell QVC TSV's there too?...and for less than the QVC 'as is' price?

I ask because I often see NWT and with all the plastic still on the handles..so really never used.

If they were bags that the person bought through QVC but changed their mind, and maybe they waited beyond the 30 days to return...

However, these are sellers that sell LOTS of D&B...

TIA

Some people get them from outlets, so they would be cheaper. Otherwise, they might have gotten them as gifts or had buyers remorse.

Think more virtual garage sale and not "store." Lots of new items are sold at a loss because people want to get rid of stuff.

@Susan Louise

From my vantage point, I will tell you that many of these bags are vintage. I started collecting them when postage started getting so very high. The bags I purchased were made in the USA and are genuine. I need to get in gear and list some. The ones I got were shined up (assuming by a cobbler) but they are very heavy so shipping cost may render them not sell-worthy to me.

Yes, you can get some very good authentic deals, tho. HTH

Are u familiar with Ilovedooney.com? This is D&B's outlet --- first-quality and lower prices. I've purchased many Dooneys on this site - and all are perfect. When QVC sells Dooney's, the prices are always at the high-end, making the Q very rich.

If the bags are priced low & that seller always has a supply, they are knock-offs.

@kivah Yes, I have bought several D&B bags/totes from ILD for 40-50% off...

As I mentioned in the OP, I am talking specifically about D&B TSV's with accessories

That would make lots of sense in some cases, but not regarding sellers who, I'll state again...sell LOTS of D&B

Really? Not always. I used to collect and sell handbags on ebay.

There were different ways of getting new bags. I almost have never seen a fake Dooney. Fake Coach? Yes.

I did my fair share of scoping venues for good vintage bags. Women were happy to have them. I would buy bags from unsuspecting people and re-sell them.

I no longer do it, because of restrictive ebay policies in place, the change in the market for such items and the re-emergence of bedbugs and other infestations.

@JavaQueen My point specifically is that to me, it makes no sense for a seller on EBay to sell a brand new, unused, NWT, even with plastic still on the handles, to sell at a lower price than QVC's 'as is' price for the same bag...

Unless, it is a buyer's remorse and they went past the 30 days to return...

Or, QVC TSV's with all the accessories can be bought at a D&B outlet store...I have never been to a D&B outlet store.

I have never seen a QVC TSV sold anywhere else beside QVC and EBay...

This is why I started the thread

So you deal in vintage D&B with all the plastic coverings on the handles & hardware?

Interesting

The OP didn't specifically mention vintage bags, which is an entirely different market from "new" bags sold on eBay with all the protective wrapping.

@Susan Louise

all my D&B's are small nylon -- only one is a small leather satchel type. I can't carry heavy purses.

I have bought a number of Dooney bags on eBay and I have sold a number of Dooney bags on eBay. I was cleaning out my Dooney closet and open storage unit of my overflow of Dooney bags, some of which were never worn, and I sold some this past winter. I collect them so sometimes I just have them around and I finally decide I need to make room. I receive many as gifts because my family knows, "When in doubt, get her a Dooney." I even sold a new Brenna with plastic still on it because I received two of the same color for my birthday.I think some people make a business of getting bags at Dooleys outlet stores as well but I don't have one of those near me unfortunately. If you know the Dooney line you will not have to worry about ever buying a knock off because you will know the real bags. So don't worry as long as you pay attention to what Dooney sells.

@libbyannE Lucky you!!!

Today I noticed a EBay seller selling several different colored QVC TSV Brenna bags with all the accessories for $210 (with about $15 on S&H)...which was the spark to start this thread. The QVC 'as is' price is $219...not including S&H....see?

So I would think buyer's remorse is out of the question...LOL

and I'm guessing there are other places to buy QVC TSV's at a bargain...a secret spot perhaps? The seller/s wouldn't spend time selling if they weren't making a decent profit. So, somewhere these bags can be found for maybe $150-175...somewhere...

Inquiring minds want to know!!! LOL

Maybe ILD was selling the Brenna bags at about a 40-50% discount, but they still wouldn't sell them with all the accessories...

So the mystery continues

Somehow....

I responded to someone's remark about vintage, etc

Everything got tangled up into fakes, vintage, etc. Anyway,

Yes, people with buyers/ remorse try to recoup their losses. People do this on ebay all the time. They think they can match the price of a retailer. What's the point?

The bags will sit there until they realize they can't sell them. Or if the other supply dries up.

Or sometimes they realize their mistake and sell at a loss later.

It makes no sense, I get it.

@libbyannE I just want to add;;;

I think I am going to call a D&B outlet store tomorrow or Tuesday (because of the holiday) and see what they say...if they do offer past D&B QVC TSV's w/all the accessories

The qvc outlet has great sales and they put dooneys on sale for 69.00 to 89.00

so you buy from there and then "lose" money when you sell it!
