TIER VALUES
What Are Tiers?
We utilize Tiers to assign trade value. This value is based on the designer brand of your item. For example, Alice & Olivia and DVF are considered Tier-1 designers, while Chanel and Dior are ranked amongst the highest as Tier-4. It is neither an absolute value nor perfect science, but it works as a starting point. Other considerations when accepting a trade offer include item condition, age, style, and personal preference. Even though our Tier system may help, we suggest you use common sense or, rather, "fashion sense" when making an offer.
(Effective February 14, 2023) After careful consideration, we’ve decided to retire the Haute-Points reward on all trades. However, we may run promotional offers, so you may still receive Trade-Credits through invitations or Promotions.
What Are Trade-Credits?
Trade-Credits assist us in keeping HauteTrader both safe and fun. We employ them as our own trading currency. They may be dispersed via promotions or, most importantly, as compensation in the face of Trade disputes. The usage value of Trade-Credits directly relates to Tier value. Therefore, if you receive Trade-Credits as a trade for your item, we expect them to be received and used the same as an item within an accepted trade agreement.
- Tier-1 item = 100 Trade-Credits
- Tier-2 item = 200 Trade-Credits
- Tier-3 item = 300 Trade-Credits
- Tier-4 item = 400 Trade-Credits
