Default Would you buy an imperfect bag for a steal?

Would any of you buy a bag that was scratched or something not very noticeably (on bottom/etc.) if it was 1/2 price?? Would that bother you or would you be pleased to get a deal on one of your bags?

If I couldn't really notice it and it didn't take away from the bag I would purchase it.

I would but I am a poor college student so that likely has to do this my opinon! 1/2 price though is an amazing discount, I don't think I could pass that up!

Depends on the specific bag and imperfection.

Sure! If it was a bag that I really wanted and could never, ever get retail for 1/2 price.

I agree with Swakymama. It depends on the bag and how hard to find it is. If it was a Chanel and it had a slight imperfection on it, I would be on that bag like white on rice!

If it was on the bottom and i couldnt see it sure i'd buy it.
I would also buy it if the price was right and far less then retail.

If you're not willing to deal with a little flaw then move on and buy new less worries. IMO

The way i see it is the savings could help finance another bag or accessory.

darn right I would. I got my apple green roxanne from bob ellis shoes like that; a little scratchy, but worth every penny paid!

Depends on the imperfection too. If it's not noticeable and wouldn't bother me, I'd buy it.

I love getting a deal on a bag! If the imperfection was very minor and not very obvious, I would definitely jump on the chance.
