How many Coaches have YOU paid full price on? I only did once, which was my very first wristlet for 68 dollars at the COACH official store. Has anyone else paid full price for any of their Coachies? Do you know anyone who has for themselves or someone else? Please Share, this should be fun!

I usually try not to, but it's getting harder and harder. Haha! I just bought a ponytail scarf and a charm last night for full price. Came out to 103 bucks with tax. Yikes! That's a lot of money for some small accessories. I couldn't resist, they were cute and purple.

As for bags, I don't think I can pay full price. I have to wait until they go on sale or I have a coupon or something like that. It's hard since the boutique does not have sales, so if it isn't at a department store, you're paying full price unless you're lucky enough to score it at an outlet. If it's something you REALLY want tho (I mean REALLY want) then it's worth it. If in your gut you are having second thoughts, you probably shouldn't do it.

I only go shopping when I get the PCE and I have to go to the boutique to use it. So in the end I never pay full price, but I don't shop at the outlet. Its too far away.

I've never once paid full price for any of my items, and I never plan to. I can take my chances and wait for outlet/sales.

I paid full price on my Zoe and matching wristlet, but I had merchandise credit from a frayed Carly (which I did not pay full price for, but got full credit), so I don't look at it as paying full price. I've also paid full price for a Madison small wallet and initial charm. I don't mind doing it for some accessories I absolutely want. With bags, I have to take my chances. I really won't spend more than $400-450 for a bag, and most of the ones I like are in the $800-1000 range. I have to wait for outlet or auction deals.

The only Coach I have paid full price for was that adorable blue satin coin purse charm, because I thought it was gorgeous. Yes, I paid $58, and yes, they are now $9.99 at the outlets. Lesson. Learned.

Eeek. That's why I won't do it. My heart would just sink if that happened to me. There is not anything I can't live without if it doesn't ever make it to the outlet. I try not to be tempted by not even viewing the Coach website. It makes it easier for sure.

errkkk..
nope..
not yet though..
but darnnn it is soooo tempting!

You are absolutely right. Better to wait, save, and be happy with what we have.

I try not to be too wounded about the coin purse though, because the only bag I wanted too much to wait was a black Julianne, which I bought for less than retail on eBay with the 20% Live.com ********...but they paid me the ******** TWICE.

Before I found this site I paid full price for all of my Coach bags and I knew nothing of PCE or outlets!! Never again! I feel robbed, but you live and you learn!!

WOW! Oh yeah that totally made up for it!!!!

I dont think its really a mistake to pay full price for coach.

But I have for quite a few of my bags. I know I did for at least 1 carly, a caryall, all of my keyfobs. There was another bag but I cant remember. I also paid PCE for alot of bags too, not that many from the outlet.

I have for a couple of my bags and accessories, sometimes you can't wait for PCE because it might be low stocked and you want to be able to get it if they decide not to restock the item...

I've paid full price on several pieces - usually when I've gotten a gift certificate and I want my gift right away and don't want to wait for a PCE.

I would not call paying full price for my handbags "A Mistake" If I want a bag,I just go buy it, not worrying if it will be at an outlet, because I really don't care. If I want the bag bad enough I just buy it.
