Default Should I keep this...

I have been looking for this bag for my sister forever.( I think it's called the Modern Resin Chain Hobo. Correct me if I'm wrong.) She is graduating college and I wanted to get her something nice. But she's very laid back so I thought this bag might suit her. I finally got one on eBay with the NM price tag! After I used a coupon Ebay sent me it came out to $900! But now that I got it in my hands, I think I want to keep it for me. It's so comfortable to wear. Keep in mind my sister hasn't even seen this style of bag. What do you all think? TIA

if you really love it and can't part with it at all then keep it. is this bag your sister's style? hopefully she wouldn't love it as much as you do and ends up letting you keep it

It's a keeper. Also it's something she can use as an everyday.

BTW, if she doesn't want it, I will be more than happy to take it.

Wow, $900 is an awesome deal and it looks fantastic on you! I would keep it for myself as well, LOL. Hopefully you will find another bag for your sister soon. Enjoy!

It looks great on you, but is this a bag she has really wanted for some time and could not find or get? If so, I would give it to her because she is my sister. If you just got the bag because you thought she would like it and you can find something just as nice for her, then I would say keep it.

You're really sweet to have gotten it for your sister in mind. But if you want to keep it for yourself in the end, you could always get something else for her - maybe something that costs less than this.
