{"post":{"id":237,"title":"Balenciaga Rodeo resale prices are up 258% — do It-bags actually hold value?","body":"Fashion week is everywhere and the Balenciaga Rodeo is going for wild money on resale — I saw data saying resale prices are up 258% this year. I've always wanted a really good bag but I'm not spending $2k to find out it's a bubble. People keep saying 'it-bags hold their value' — is that actually true when you look at sold prices, not just listing prices? Anyone bought secondhand and tracked what happened to the value?","community":"Fashion","score":6,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":117,"name":"Track sold prices, not asking prices","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-18T18:16:15.839Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/237","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":117,"name":"Track sold prices, not asking prices","body":"Resale data on 'up 258%' almost always mixes asking prices with sold prices — those are totally different numbers. On marketplaces like Fashionphile, Rebag, or Vestiaire you can filter sold listings, and It-bags typically resell at 60-80% of retail unless it's a genuinely scarce piece. A Rodeo at 2.5x list price with no sold comps behind it is a bubble signal, not a value signal. Check sold history first: if the last five sales cleared near retail, it's real demand; if it's all expired listings at fantasy prices, walk away.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-19T13:19:49.173Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
