That's okay KoobaMe...I blew it today too. I was too wishy washy on that stupid desert Marcelle tonight on eBay....bid up to the highest earlier bidders highest bid...and just wasn't motivated to go any higher. I really couldn't afford it....and I found a post that I wrote about six months ago and I quote "I'm selling my desert Marcelle because looking at it the stainage factor makes my head swim." Of course, now that I've heard good things about the desert color from some of the ladies here, I was back on the fence....and I found myself with like 2 minutes 22 seconds left and I'm frantically mentally going over every bag I have in my closet - do I need this - do I need this - do I need this....I blew it. And now I feel a bit sad. But I feel a bit victorious that I didn't spend the money. But if anyone wishes to part with their desert Marcelle, I'm the girl for you....

~handing you a hankie~ I know what you mean, jelly bean! I've done that a gazillion times. Did it also with an Isabella Fiore last night and when I checked this morning at the crack of dawn (first thing on my mind when I awoke) she was gone. Everything happens for a reason, right? Maybe we weren't supposed to buy yet another bag right now ....that's my rationalization and I'm stickin' to it! hmmph!

Maybe we should arrange a play date for our Marcelle families so they don't get lonely.....heeheehee!

I really wanted an auburn Brynne on e-Bay a week or two ago. I agreed a BIN price with the seller, and they said they'd relist it. Well, they relisted it and someone threw in a starting bid before I realized the seller had relisted it, so the BIN price was immediately wiped out, so I couldn't buy it. I contacted the seller and she then offered to put it up at just a BIN price so I could buy it, if I agreed $5 more. I agreed. She relisted it FIRST and then just sent me an e-mail to say she'd relisted it and by the time I went in, someone had bought it!!! I wasn't happy.

Brynne in black, but there is only one on ebay...and US bidders only :(

Minimouse · Aug 15th, 2007, 05:19 AM

Thanks for the heads up Klara, I'll keep browsing until one comes up that grabs my fancy and has International shipping. It doesn't have to be a particular color, although black or auburn would be nice.

alpine1972 · Nov 8th, 2007, 01:45 AM

I want a black Brynne so bad.

surlygirl · Nov 8th, 2007, 11:04 AM

I am searching for an ink Natasha. I am really hoping that a few will turn up at the outlets. Maybe? Please? Also kicking myself for passing on the black or oak Brynne when they were on sale at NM.com.

Keep looking for the brynne, esp. oak. That one seems to pop up a bit on NM. I can't figure out if it is the same return over and over, or if they are just finding bags and clearing out stock or something. I bought an auburn brynne but returned it about 2 weeks ago or so b/c the bag just did not do it for me. Ebay has some as well at times.

There was an espresso Scarlett on eBay a while back that I really regret not getting. I also love the Marcelle in a couple of the different shades of brown, especially cognac, but I haven't been able to bring myself to get one.

Halzer · Nov 9th, 2007, 06:27 PM

Im still dreaming of a NWT Desert Marcelle or Sienna.
Or even a new Blonde Elisha would do, but desert is really where its at for me.

hobogirl77 · Nov 9th, 2007, 07:51 PM

im currently looking for a natasha in ink,,,

dyannek · Nov 9th, 2007, 09:31 PM

I would love a red Devin. or suede.

Minimouse · Nov 10th, 2007, 01:37 AM

I'm not sure what Kooba I want next. I was tempted by a couple of desert Marcelles a while back but didn't go for either. Recently I wish I'd bid on a black Brynne that came up on eBay, but I got home too late to bid. I fear I am likely to stray into other handbag designer territory since the new Koobas are a bit strange, although I do like the look of the Layla and Jennifer. I might be tempted with one of those one day.... but only if I find a bargain buy. They're not on my 'must have' list.

lovekoobabags · Nov 24th, 2007, 07:10 PM

You're going to laugh...I have a brand new with tags Desert Marcelle sitting in my closet for about 2 1/2 years - I never wore it! (Don't ask me why - so stupid) I sprayed my bag to protect it many a time. I tried it on the other day and fell in love again.... and now I see it's like the Holy Grail bag on here LOL who knew - it was totally a last minute splurge of mine (my first Kooba actually) from JC Madison.com - I was going to return it years ago but they wouldn't take it back LOL

LOL! This just cracked me up! Okay - you probably have most of beat with that 2 1/2 years, but I can't tell you the number of bags I've had that were never worn and sat for months and months unused! I've got several at the moment in fact!
