1. You can find incredible deals on top designer labels
Have you always wanted an Hermes Birkin bag or Christian Louboutin stilettos? You can find these iconic pieces at auction on Barnebys for much less than the astronomical prices set at the storefronts. One of the best-kept secrets to buying fashion at auction is finding outfits that were screen-worn on TV shows or movies. They are often sold at extremely low prices, but boast top designer labels. For example, the bidding started at just $30 for a pair of Gucci pumps worn in House of Cards, and a Dolce & Gabbana suit worn in Creed 2 sold for only $160. Many of the stylish clothes from episodes or movies are just worn in a few scenes, so they in are in excellent condition with prices at a fraction of the retail value.
2. You can name your price
Don’t want to spend over $1000 for a Chanel bag? You don’t have to! On Barnebys, you can set the price range you are willing to pay and then only view items within that range. You never know if you could place the winning bid on handbag or pair of shoes you’ve been coveting if you don’t set your price!

4. You can set search alerts so you never miss a sale or a deal
Barnebys lets you set search alerts for your favorite brands and styles so you know when a sale is happening (and when you should jump in to bid for a steal!) Type in a specific brand like “Yves Saint Laurent” or a particular item such as “pink shoes” and Barnebys will send you an alert when an auction is live.
