When selling Hermès, the number one concern is, of course, “How much can I sell it for?”
Hermès does not publish an official “buyback price list,” but the “reference prices” and “past buyback records” disclosed by luxury resale specialists serve as useful indicators of market value.
This article organizes the latest 2025 Hermès buyback price list by model, explaining comparisons with retail prices and recent retail price increases.
We also cover “models that can sell above retail” and “tips for higher appraisals,” providing helpful information for those considering selling in the near future.
※The buyback prices and retail values introduced in this article are reference prices as of the update date. Prices are subject to constant fluctuation depending on market trends, foreign exchange, product condition, and accessories. The ranges shown are based on items in “excellent or better condition,” but they do not guarantee buyback at these levels. To know the true value of your bag, a professional appraisal is necessary. At XIAOMA, we offer a free service where you can instantly check the latest appraisal value simply by sending photos via LINE.

Among Hermès items, certain models are traded at prices that exceed their official retail value.
This is not simply due to the popularity of a luxury brand, but rather the overlap of multiple factors such as rarity, high demand, and asset value. Below, we explain the reasons why prices can go above retail and highlight the representative models.
The models most likely to be appraised above retail are primarily small-sized bags:
These models share common characteristics: very limited circulation, highly popular compact sizes among women, and strong support from the small-bag trend. When in excellent condition, it is not unusual for them to be appraised far above retail.
Whether a bag can exceed retail depends not only on the model but also heavily on color and leather:
There are three main reasons why Hermès bags exceed retail:
Hermès bags are not just fashion items — they have a strong asset aspect, with prices rising year after year.
Especially for flagship models like Birkin and Kelly, price revisions have occurred almost annually since 2019, with the rate of increase surpassing that of many other luxury brands.
All major Hermès models have seen significant increases since 2023.
From this table, it is clear that the increase from 2023 to 2024 was particularly sharp:
The upward trend continued in 2025, with overall increases of about 20–27% over two years. This steep rise has further fueled “above-retail” appraisals in the resale market.
Price increases are expected to continue. Based on past patterns, annual increases of several percent up to around 10% are likely, further strengthening Hermès’ position as a brand whose value “rises the moment you purchase.”
As a result, in the secondary market Hermès is widely perceived as a brand whose value does not depreciate — in fact, it appreciates with time. This has also led more buyers to consider Hermès bags from an investment perspective.
When selling Hermès bags or accessories, small steps can make a big difference in the appraisal value. Here are some concrete points to help you maintain the highest possible buyback price.
The presence or absence of original accessories has a major impact on appraisal.
Having these items together can change the appraisal by tens of thousands of yen. Always check your belongings before selling.
The bag’s condition directly affects the buyback value.
Daily careful handling is the key to being evaluated as “excellent condition or better.”
The selling method can also affect the results.
Choose the method that best suits your needs, whether “want to sell quickly” or “want to sell at the highest price.”
What Is Consignment Sales?
This is a method where you entrust the bag to a store to sell on your behalf. While it has the potential for a higher price, it also requires more time. Therefore, it is best suited for those who are “not in a hurry but want to sell at the highest possible price.”

When you decide “I want to sell my Hermès,” the first question is: Where should I request an appraisal?
There are many luxury bag resale shops, but the appraisal price and the quality of service can vary widely.
Since these are treasured bags, you want to entrust them to a reliable store.
Whenever possible, compare multiple stores to find the best conditions for your bag.
With Hermès, the appraisal can differ by tens of thousands of yen depending on the store you choose. That’s why it is important to select a shop that provides accurate evaluations and market-reflective prices.

The models most likely to fetch the highest appraisals are small-sized bags such as the Birkin 25, Kelly 25, Mini Kelly, and Constance Mini.
Due to their limited availability and high popularity among women, it is not uncommon for these bags to be appraised significantly above retail.
While most luxury bags generally resell at around 50–70% of retail, Hermès is unique in that it often achieves above-retail buyback prices.
Especially for popular models and colors, Hermès is valued as an “asset” that can even exceed the original purchase price.
There is no strict standard, but Hermès is a symbol of luxury. It is often said that the core customer base consists of high-income individuals earning over ¥10 million annually.
However, in recent years, more buyers have focused on Hermès’ asset value, purchasing as part of an investment strategy.
Yes, there are several key points:
In particular, using tools like LINE appraisal makes it easy to understand the market range and choose a trustworthy store — the fastest way to secure a higher appraisal.
