These sellers most likely are real boutique owners with Kooba Accounts. Nothing sneaky about it. They get the bags early from Kooba and of course at a discount rate because they buy in bulk for their stores.
HauteChick is wonderful to buy from.

wow, that's good to know. they're very generous with their discounts on these hot fall koobas. in the meantime there's other sellers who are selling last season's devins, elishas and nellis at full price. i even saw someone selling a jackie for near retail.

i wonder why last season's koobas are more expensive than the new line on eBay? i mean, i'd consider paying near retail for a genuinely "old" kooba like a mint condition ada, sienna or lucy. but i don't think the nelli or jackie is in their league?

some more fall koobas are appearing on eBay! the last two below are the popular blake model in patent purple and black. i was surprised to see how thin its profile is -- and also suprised to see its retail price is $645. with tax who knew a kooba would run more than $700?

anyway, despite the high price i can't wait to see these in person -- i'm really liking the return of the kooba hardware and hopefully quality thick leathers.

These fall bags look like they hug the body more than some of their previous styles. I like the looks of that.

^ nice, you're a fall kooba pioneer! i'm curious to know if the zippers are just decorative or if they allow the bag to expand. when you get them please share your impressions and pics.

Standard style has some of the newer Koobas and you can see what they look like on the body. Way too big for me.
