Industry trends and market overview

  • Luxury resale is experiencing a cultural shift, with 47% of consumers now considering resale value at purchase, similar to luxury auto buying behavior.

  • The sector has significant growth potential, with $2B in GMV compared to $85B in annual U.S. luxury purchases and an estimated $200B in untapped supply in consumers' closets.

  • 58% of consumers now prefer shopping resale or secondary marketplaces, and the company is outpacing industry growth with 14% GMV growth in Q2 and 20% in Q3.

  • The managed marketplace model removes friction for sellers and builds trust for buyers, differentiating from peer-to-peer platforms.

  • Inflation and higher primary market prices drive more buyers and sellers to the platform, reinforcing the value proposition.

Growth strategy and supply unlocking

  • The growth playbook includes a national sales team, targeted marketing, and a retail footprint, with stores bringing in 25% of new consignors.

  • Dropship initiatives and partnerships with international vendors, especially in Japan, are expanding supply without requiring physical presence abroad.

  • International expansion is a future opportunity, but U.S. growth remains the top priority due to significant remaining headroom.

  • About 50% of new consignors have never sold before, indicating market expansion as well as share gains.

Technology, AI, and operational efficiency

  • AI-driven tools like Athena automate intake, authentication, and pricing, processing 27% of items and aiming for 30-40% by year-end, with a path to 100% coverage.

  • Athena reduces processing time from 14 to 7 days and increases accuracy, with expansion planned into higher-value categories.

  • The platform leverages data from 50 million items to optimize pricing and sell-through rates.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
