MDC LUXURY
SELLING SERVICE
Sell luxury, without doing the selling.
A personal resale service for designer pieces. MDC manages the pricing, presentation, marketing,
enquiries, negotiation and sale - so you don't have to.
HOW IT WORKS
1. SEND US YOUR PIECE
Send clear photos and details. If accepted, we can provide a complimentary NZ courier label to
send the item to MDC.
2. WE ASSESS IT
We review the brand, model, condition, current market and likely selling range.
3. YOU APPROVE THE PRICE
Together we set the asking price and a confidential minimum selling price.
4. MDC DOES THE SELLING
We photograph, present, market, answer enquiries and negotiate with buyers.
5. YOU GET PAID
Once the sale is complete and cleared, your net proceeds are paid to you.
OUR SELLING FEES
FINAL SALE PRICE MDC FEE YOU RECEIVE
Under $1,000 30% 70%
$1,000 - $2,999 25% 75%
$3,000 - $7,499 20% 80%
$7,500+ 15% 85%
All amounts are NZD. Bespoke terms may be agreed for exceptional high-value pieces.
8 WEEKS. NO AUTOMATIC MARKDOWNS.
Our standard exclusive selling period is 8 weeks. We don't publish an automatic markdown
schedule. Instead, MDC manages the price strategically. Buyers don't get a countdown telling themwhen your piece will become cheaper.
If an offer is at or above your agreed confidential minimum, MDC can negotiate the sale. If we
believe an offer below that figure is worth considering, we come back to you.
MORE THAN CONSIGNMENT
LUXURY SELLING SERVICE
For clients who want MDC to manage the entire resale process while they retain ownership until
sale.
DIRECT PURCHASE
Selected pieces may qualify for an MDC purchase offer where speed and certainty are more
important than waiting for the retail buyer.
PRIVATE / INTERNATIONAL PLACEMENT
For selected pieces, MDC may recommend access to private, specialist or international buyers
where that route makes sense.
WHAT WE ACCEPT
MDC is selective. Acceptance depends on brand, authenticity, condition, demand and likely resale
value. Designer handbags and other luxury fashion pieces are considered individually.
AUTHENTICITY
Items must be authentic. Please provide receipts, certificates, serial information, packaging or
other provenance where available. If independent authentication is required, this will be discussed
before any fee is incurred.
READY TO SELL?
Send MDC clear photos of your item, the brand and model if known, condition, inclusions and any
proof of purchase or authentication you have.
We don't just buy designer.
We help you decide the smartest way to sell it.
