I thought I got the Frankie in Raisin yesterday, too, and I got the same email today saying they are unable to locate it in inventory :(
It makes me wonder if all these older bags that suddenly popped up was just a glitch in their system.

jojon21, that could be because the price was almost impossible to believe. The items showing available changed dramatically.

Sorry, I posted an authenticate post here and I think it should have been the other thread.

I got that message too - for 2 bags I purchased. I kinda figured it was too good to be true and resigned myself to the fact that it must have been some sort of computer glitch. However, later that evening, I got notification that both orders had been shipped. Was kinda shocked. Now I'm a little suspicious as to whether these phantom, too-good-to-be-true purses are really going to show up at my doorstep.

Congrats all who got the vintage Koobas! I got my Ginger. I think it just needs a little conditioning on a side pocket that's crackling a little.
Experts please weigh in - which to do first - spray Wilson's TLC and apply the Leather Lotion or the other way around?

Love to see everyone scores!

Jojon and jadejett, got the same Shipping message as you guys about 7 last evening. I had seriously thought that deal was done and bought the same bag on eBay bin. So now I have 2 bags heading my way, gulp! If the revolve order comes I will be very excited as it was a great deal. Curious what the story is on these bags, little hideaways? I'm glad everyone should be receiving their bags, I can't wait 'til my twins get here :0!!!

Oh my God...I am beside myself with grief over this sale. I had seen the vintage items pop up and stuck the black Marcelle in my cart...and then decided to sleep on it since I've been on a ban for awhile now and knew I shouldn't be buying anything, especially at retail for a bag that age.

After work I decided to see if anything else popped up and low and behold the price of the Marcelle in my cart had dropped to a ridiculous sale price I couldn't pass up.....but by then they were sold out. It was in my cart with that auto-apology about the last one just being sold. I could kick myself for not checking earlier!

Ah well. Congrats nonetheless to all of you who snagged a deal on those classic, vintage beauties!!!

Looks like a reseller got it. I truly wish it went to someone that was lusting for it rather than just making a quick profit. I know business is business, but I saw how many of you were excited to get an brand new "oldie but goodie". The seller has the Ada too.

I'm sick. I put both the Ada and Renee in my bag. Just looked at my bag and saw she got the Renee for $144 and the Ada for $169 - Maybe I'll make an offer near the auction end and see what happens.

Teresa - I feel your pain! I hope you get her at a decent price. Another reseller did the same with the Maria ($121) and Carla ($162) - selling for almost list price!

The almighty dollar wins again. It really is too bad these didn't go to someone who really wanted them instead of someone trying to make a huge profit.

OMG! I wish I had known about this sale. I would have loved to get another Ada or Frankie. Now I am depressed.

Dang it! Well, I found out wayyyy too late! I was wondering how these vintage Koobas found their way to ebay...and now I know. I adore my vintage Koobas and would have loved to snag a few others at that price.
