Sell Hermès Birkin
SELL YOUR Hermès Birkin for Cash in Brooklyn, NYC
The Birkin is the only handbag we buy where the resale market has consistently sat above retail, and it has held that position for four decades. The reason is simple and structural: Hermès has never sold the bag on demand. You cannot walk into a boutique and buy one, which means the secondary market is the only market most buyers have access to.
That makes a Birkin genuinely liquid in a way almost nothing else in luxury resale is, and it means we can be direct with you about the number rather than hedging against a slow sale.
What we need to establish is which Birkin you have. Size, leather, hardware and colour move the value across a very wide range — wider than most sellers expect. A 25 in Togo with gold hardware and a 35 in Clemence are not variations on one price. They are different bags commercially, and we price them that way.

What Moves The Number
WHAT YOUR Offer DEPENDS ON
Size and leather together
The 25 and 30 are where demand concentrates right now, and the 35 and 40 sit meaningfully below them. Leather compounds that: Togo and Epsom hold structure, while Clemence is softer and slouches with age, which reads as wear even on a lightly used bag.
Corners and handle patina
The four corners are what a buyer inspects first, because they take the abrasion no amount of care prevents. Handle darkening is the second thing. Neither is repairable in a way that is invisible, and together they set the condition tier more than anything else.
Colour
Neutrals move fastest and most predictably — black, Etoupe, Gold, Craie. Strong seasonal colours can be worth more to the right buyer and take longer to find one. We will tell you honestly which category yours falls into.
Completeness
The clochette, keys, lock, dust bag, rain cover and box matter more on a Birkin than on any other bag we handle. Buyers at this level expect the full set, and a missing lock and clochette is a visible gap rather than a detail.

FAQs
HERMÈS BIRKIN Questions
How much is my Birkin worth?
The range is wide because size, leather, hardware, colour and condition all move it independently. A 25 in a neutral Togo with gold hardware sits at the top of what we see; a 40 in a seasonal colour with corner wear sits well below it. Bring the bag and its accessories in and we will value the specific piece rather than quote you a range that means nothing.
Do Birkins sell for more than retail?
Frequently, yes — and the Birkin is close to unique in that. Because Hermès does not sell the bag on demand, the secondary market is the only route for most buyers, and that supports pricing above the boutique figure on the sizes and colours in demand.
Will you buy a Birkin without the box, lock and clochette?
Yes. Completeness affects the offer more on a Birkin than on anything else we buy, because buyers at this price expect the full set — but the bag carries the value and we will still make a serious offer. Bring whatever you still have, including the rain cover.
How do you authenticate a Birkin?
We check the blind stamp and whether it matches the construction era, the craftsman mark, the angle and regularity of the saddle stitching, the hardware plating and engraving, and the leather grain against what Hermès was using that year. It is done in front of you and we will explain each step.
Should I have the bag cleaned or spa-treated first?
No. We price normal patina as normal, and third-party refinishing frequently makes a bag harder to sell rather than easier — an over-cleaned Birkin raises questions about what else was done to it. Bring it as it is.
