What Do You Expect To Happen With The Price of the Hermès Birkin Sellier on the Secondary Market When Discontinued?

Dear PurseBop,

What do you expect to happen with the price of the Birkin Sellier 30 on the secondary market once it is discontinued. Will it increase or on the contrary?

Dear Birkin Sellier Lover:

We love the Birkin Sellier and believe it is a popular style. However, there are many collectors who prefer the traditional Retourne style of the Birkin.

When a bag is discontinued or limited in distribution, such as only by special order, the value tends to increase on the secondary market. Many factors affect the value of all bags on the secondary market at any given time. Some of those factors are the economic climate, the number of similar bags available on the secondary market at that time, the popularity of the bag, the condition, color and leather of the bag, etc.

Nevertheless, we believe the Birkin Sellier, in a popular color and leather such as black, gold, gray, pink, nata, etc. will likely increase on the secondary market due to its scarcity once Hermès stops producing them. It is our understanding that the Birkin Sellier will continue to be available as a Special Order.

We love the Birkin Sellier and believe it is a welcome addition to our collection. But the style is not for everyone. We recommend buying what you love and will complement your lifestyle, wardrobe and budget.
