Buying pre-loved luxury with confidence
Condition grades, descriptions, messaging sellers, and what to double-check before you checkout.
Buying resale should feel exciting — not risky. Here is how to shop smart on ExGlam.
Read the condition field
Our sellers pick a structured condition label. Pair that with photos: if something looks cleaner or more worn than described, ask before you buy.
Use chat for specifics
Insole length, strap holes, alterations, receipts, dust bags — if it matters to you, ask. Most sellers appreciate detailed buyers.
Check measurements
Designer sizing varies wildly across eras and houses. Compare listed measurements against something you already own.
Treat authenticity like a dialogue
For high-value purchases, polite questions about provenance help everyone. Serious sellers welcome them.
