Can I change the price of my products? Yes, however, you must change the price on the price ticket with a pen.

What if my items don't sell? You can take them home and keep wearing them. You can donate or recycle them. You may have the option to leave them with Flashback for wardrobe management to clear in 4 weeks. Please note, wardrobe management is a premium service with the goal of he quickest liquidation. 

What does come into account when pricing my products? Remember that Flashback is not an outlet, but a platform for second-hand fashion, and that these are finds you don't wear/want. Flashback prices correspond to the condition, brand, quality, seasonality and average value at which similar items are successfully sold second-hand worldwide.

We'd be happy to offer you our services if you have items we are looking for.
