This is a sought after color, and can get quite pricey from re-sale when in excellent condition.

I do think the quest for past season's bags is part of what make us all so obsessed. So enjoy!

oh, thank you so much for that. i never would have thought it was from 2005.

so is the one that khloé is carrying in that pic the city or the work? sorry, i know nothing about balenciaga currently (but hopefully that'll change).

what is the average price of something like this? once again, i have no idea.

do you recommend ebay for an older style/color like this or are they known to be fake on there? if not ebay, where would be a good place to find an authentic balenciaga, such as the apple green one?

thanks!

I LOVE your pics Ghost!! Your boys look adorable! Halloween was so cold here and we didn't have as many trick or treaters as in the past.
I didn't realize we lived close to one another.

Thanks, I carved the pumpkin last year for a carving contest. (I won!)

*Sorry I missed this post.

Hi and welcome! It is the Apple Green Work 2005. You may expect to pay anywhere from $1200-$2000 pending the condition of the bag (this is just my opinion and subjective of course). The bay and bonanzle.com has them occasionally as well as reputable resellers. There is a thread in Balenciaga shopping section entitled reputable sellers. It is the last post on that page that you will find internet resellers that you may contact and request what you are looking for. Good luck!

Zombie...Thanks dear! It was chilly here too! I adore that pumpkin you made, how inventive! My DH would have killed me if I did that..he thinks my bags are stupid and therefore anything I do in regards is waco. LOL!

Good Morning Muggles/Zombie and all the ladies!

Ghost55 · Nov 5th, 2009, 07:03 PM

^^ My DH hates scary movies, but I managed to drag him to paranormal ..it was worth it!! I'll have to rent Zombie..and watch all by myself.

REREsaurus · Nov 5th, 2009, 07:22 PM

^^ Did you get motion sickness during Paranormal? I watched District 9 (well, 30 minutes of it) and had to dart to the bathroom to throw up!

redskater · Nov 5th, 2009, 07:43 PM

Ghostie my DH has been trying to get me to that one too. DH loves all that stuff! do I need to see it?

RERE are you serious? it made you sick???? maybe not one for me to see. When I saw Blair witch project it was making me queasy. all that moving around with the camera, drives me nuts!

Zombie Girl · Nov 5th, 2009, 08:17 PM
