I have been a big seller and buyer on The Real Real since the beginning of the company in 2015! I have made about $400,000 selling pieces that I was not going to wear again. Also, I am a buyer of mostly "pristine" and "excellent" items on consignment. There are so many people who buy things and not wear/use them at all, and sell them new in the box with tags!
Therealreal is a scam. They take high-value items for consignment and list them at ridiculously low prices, allowing their internal employees to steal them from online clients' carts or even after payments have been made. They cancel transactions and resale the items to their friends, who then post them on eBay for a profit. Please do not consign with this company; you will receive almost nothing for your high-value stuff. The company has no control over their employees, so employees do whatever they want, including defrauding their customers and running a side business for themselves
Usually excellent representation of what is received and in the rare occasion if it's not, realreal customer service has made it right.

Love the RealReal - I only buy shoes and purses from here. Just wish shipping was a bit quicker. But truly go-to shopping spot.

Men's shoes weren't labeled clearly as such... so I thought they were women's and purchased. Now I'm waiting to see if they'll accept a return...

I paid almost 12$ for shipping. Delivered smashed up and took so long to arrive it was anticlimactic.

The RealReal offers a great selection of designer clothing. I love to "window shop" as there is consistently new product. Easy purchasing process.

Maybe incentivize this waste of time. Shopping is fine but no better than any other used luxury site.
