Photograph more than the front
Take the bag into good light and photograph the front, back, base and inside. Add close-ups of the label, hardware and any visible markings. Check the suggested brand and model against the details you can verify.
If you are unsure of the material or model name, leave a note about what is uncertain. The photographs give you something to return to when you learn more.
Describe the bag you have today
Corners, handles and lining often tell the most useful story. Write down the wear while you can see it: a scuffed corner, a pen mark inside, a zip that catches.
“Light wear on both lower corners; lining clean” is a note you can use later. “Good condition” asks you to remember what you meant.
- List the strap, dust bag, box and other pieces kept with the bag.
- Add a receipt photo and purchase details if you have them.
- Note repairs or alterations, including replaced hardware.
- Save its location, particularly if the accessories are stored separately.
A brief history belongs here too. Where you bought it or who carried it before you may be the detail you are most glad to keep.
Use the record when you are ready to sell
Start with the exact model, size, material and condition when comparing prices. Value tracker on Pro and Ultra lets you follow estimates over time, and the saved photos and notes can become the basis of a listing draft.
Read the draft against the bag before publishing. Make sure wear and missing accessories are described, and choose the price yourself.
FAQ
Does a scan authenticate a bag?
A suggested identity or value does not establish authenticity. Keep receipts and any authentication documents; use a specialist when you need that question settled.
Can I show one bag to a friend?
You can create a public item page and send the link. Open it first to check what the page shows. The person viewing it does not need an account.
Take down the bag you have almost forgotten. Photograph it, save its details and see whether it belongs by the door for a while.
