Where Luxury Finds New Life…
‘Bid For Sale’ (BFS) emerges as India’s pioneering luxury marketplace, crafted to redefine how consumers experience pre-loved fashion. Anchored in the belief that luxury should be enjoyed, not stored away, BFS offers a seamless, secure, and sophisticated platform where premium pieces find renewed purpose. Its vision is rooted in making luxury more accessible while embracing a more sustainable and circular approach to consumption.
Born from a decade of experience in logistics and a deep interest in e-commerce, the concept of BFS began as a problem-solving idea that quickly transformed into a passionate venture for its founders. The founding team of Bid For Sale is a tight-knit trio- the husband-wife duo, Pratiik & Akriti Jalan and Mayank. Together, the founders form a cohesive unit, each contributing their strengths to build the full framework of a marketplace designed to redefine and elevate the pre-loved luxury experience.
Recognising that modern closets are often filled with unattended luxury items—pieces too valuable to ignore and too cherished to waste—they set out to create a platform that could effortlessly connect sellers with buyers seeking authenticity, rarity, and fair value. Today, BFS stands as a dynamic marketplace where individuals can free up space, monetise their collections, or discover coveted items that may no longer be available at retail.
What truly sets BFS apart from global and domestic resale platforms is its curated facilitation model. Unlike traditional resellers, BFS acts as a trusted intermediary between buyer and seller. The platform securely tags each item, manages negotiations through an integrated chat system, conducts thorough quality and authenticity checks, and holds payments in escrow until the buyer has verified the product through a 24-hour inspection window. This rare combination of transparency, protection, and convenience positions BFS as India’s most trusted destination for pre-owned luxury.
The customer base for BFS spans a diverse and expanding demographic—from first-time luxury explorers and seasoned collectors to home-grown retailers and small entrepreneurs offering brand-new designer pieces at negotiable prices. In encouraging the recirculation of luxury goods, BFS also champions an environmentally responsible lifestyle, aligning with global movements toward mindful consumption.
BFS offers an extensive catalogue that reflects the full spectrum of luxury living, including handbags, wallets, footwear, small leather goods, apparel, and select accessories. The founders have intentionally created a platform that mirrors the needs of modern consumers, many of whom accumulate new, unused items that deserve a second chance at life. With a dedicated team trained to minimise the risk of counterfeits, every item undergoes stringent checks for functionality, wear, provenance, and alignment with the original listing. BFS provides confidence through tamper-proof security tags, meticulous verification, and a straightforward return policy requiring all packaging, seals, and holograms to remain intact.
The end-to-end experience is designed with precision and ease. Once a product is listed, it is evaluated by the BFS team before going live. After negotiations between buyer and seller, the item is either shipped in or collected for authentication and quality assessment. Delivery through premium logistics partners ensures that most orders reach the buyer within 7–14 days, depending on the destination. Only once the return window closes is the seller paid instantly and securely, reinforcing BFS’s commitment to fairness and transparency.
As the global pre-loved luxury market accelerates—poised to cross $95 billion by 2034—the demand for authenticated resale platforms is stronger than ever, particularly among millennials who prioritise value, rarity, and sustainability. Over the next five years, the brand aims to establish itself as the country’s most reliable and sophisticated marketplace for circulated luxury, building a vibrant ecosystem where style is reimagined, value is secured, and authenticity remains paramount.
