AUTHENTICATION, PROCESS & PRICING

We Always Keep It Real

Even those who identify as more chic than geek tend to find our authentication process pretty fascinating. With over one million items passing through TRR authentication centers every month, the scale and speed of our operation is an example of what’s possible when unparalleled expertise meets game-changing technology and over a decade’s worth of data. 

IT STARTS WITH

The Right People

placeholder-image

Sourced From Fashion Lovers

Our consignor community is made up of collectors, aficionados, industry insiders, and regular people with really, really good taste. We’re honored to help find new homes for one-of-a-kind items with one-of-a-kind stories.

Handled By 100+ Luxury Experts

Each of our in-house specialists has hundreds of hours of training in specific luxury brands and categories like jewelry, watches, bags, and vintage. Unlike other resellers, we physically examine every item, giving our experts unmatched insight into the signifiers of authenticity.

INSIDE TRR AUTHENTICATION LABS

The Right Tools

The Most Data

We have 13 years worth of information about over 37 million authentic items (and over 250,000 inauthentic items). As fakes get better, so does our ability to spot them.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Our tech helps us analyze everything from leather grain to fabric dye, and we’re always developing new ways to authenticate and evaluate the items we sell.

In Our Arsenal

TRR Shield™

Tracks which brands and styles are most likely to be counterfeit and flags those items as soon as they arrive at our authentication center so the team can give them extra attention.

TRR Vision™

Takes microscopic pictures documenting every angle of an item. Comparing these images to the millions of others in our database enables experts to spot even the smallest inconsistencies.

Authentication XRF Machines

XRF Machines

Detect exact combinations of metal alloys in jewelry, watches, and hardware. When paired with data from genuine items, it's one more way for our experts to confirm authenticity.

How We Price

Our goal is always to earn you the most for your consignment, and the extensive data library we’ve developed through our authentication process also allows us to consider a diverse range of factors when determining list prices.

OUR PRICING EXPERTS ALWAYS CONSIDER

Demand & Scarcity

We know which styles are rare, which collabs sold out in ten seconds, and which vintage runway collections are impossible to find anywhere else.

Market Trends

We track what’s selling fast, what’s racking up Obsessions, and what’s the next big trend, so we have real-time data on market value.

Item Condition

We accept a range of conditions from Pristine to As Is, and in most cases, newer condition means higher resale value.

Why It Matters
