How the archive is built.
What we value, where the numbers come from, and how a record earns its place.
1
Why
There is no source of truth for what a luxury bag is worth. Sold prices are scattered across platforms, mixed in with asking prices, and nobody grades them. So the number you find depends on where you looked and how long you spent. The archive exists to replace that with one graded record per bag.
2
What
Each record holds a bag's verified resale value in three conditions, what sellers are currently asking, its current retail price, and its original retail price with the year, where that can be documented. Independent reviews live on our channel. Verified values live here.
3
How
1
The exact bag.
Every sale is confirmed as the same model, size and material before it counts. A sale is excluded only for being the wrong item, never for its price.
2
Cross-checked across independent sources.
Sales are drawn from multiple verified resale sources, never one. We publish the standard, not the supplier list.
3
Graded by a person.
A person grades and signs off every valuation and every verdict. No condition is graded, no number set, and no verdict issued by anything else.
4
At least ten verified sales.
That is the standard for a record. When a condition has fewer recent sales, we widen the window or draw from the nearest condition, and the record says so.
5
Asking prices are shown, never used.
Currently listed prices appear for contrast. They are not part of the math.
6
Re-verified on a regular cycle.
Every record is checked against current sold data so the number you see is the number the market is paying now.
How we grade
Excellent / Like New
Minimal to no visible wear. Includes unworn and new-with-tags pieces.
Good
Honest, even wear from normal use. Structure, shape, and hardware intact.
Fair
Visible wear, marks, or hardware wear. Structurally sound and usable.
THE LUXY STANDARD
Sold, not asking
Every number from verified sales
Human-verified
Every sale graded by a person
Independent
No commissions. No sponsors. No loyalties.
