The Bbag Chat Room

You are right. I hadn’t thought about tRR. Their prices are definitely not the great finds they were even last year. And what happened to the 20% off? That’s gone now.

Inflation isn’t the only answer. Peoples be greedy.

The 20% is still there very occasionally.

They'll make the 20% available after its been listed for a while, although there are some items that get marked down 10% before they allow the code to be used and then they leave it there for what seems like forever!

That Teal Shoe bag has been 10% off for months! I don't know if the sellers are requesting no discount or what (I know when I consigned with them, I was told I had no say/control over pricing, so I don't get it)

Who knows how the great minds at TRR work!

@Connie, moved the chat over here. Here's a pic of my marine courier, no mirror on the pocket but look at that leather.

Beautiful! One more example of how I can’t rely on my eyes to tell goat from lamb. 🐑 or, this one is a lamb in billy goat’s clothing!

The good goodies go fast and don't have time to go to the extra 20% off phase, imo.

... especially since few of us have amazing impulse control!

I was playing extra-20% off-roulette with a dress two weeks ago and it sold before I worked up the nerve to just go full-TRR price, ahaha.

I agree though, for some items, the prices feel lightly higher across the board/not just for Bal tbh.

I know this pattern leather on bags and accessories has been called the "car", and now I realize they mean the car's floor mats.

Thanks. Would never have figured it out. Reminds me of the Project Runway Car Parts Challenge.

Crazy isn't it?

 

[haisley]

Just when you think TRR standards couldn’t go any lower, a sixth condition category has been added they are calling “As Is”. 🤮🤢

 

[Conni618]

Oh boy …. A designation they should have been using for some of the bags they’ve sent me, ie., with gooey stuff on the lining, perfume smell and old tissue still inside.
