Yes, it isn't much below retail ($140 after Pittsburgh sales tax) but it saved me a 4 hour drive with a preschooler and a toddler in the car- and that in itself is worth it! lol

I am getting more and more freaked out about the listing being immediately removed...hmmm, how WILL I compare it to the listing???

Maybe if I email her she'll let me have it? I don't know...note to everyone here, PRINT your fashionphile purchases before buying! :)

I totally agree. I stalked eBay for two months and decided that I was better off spending the additional for a brand new one. I got it and I am very happy with it.

I'm sure you did fine. Looking at eBay auctions are usually a hit or miss. It's better than paying retail! Congrats on your Damier Azur speedy 30!

Sorry, but I think you did spend too much on this bag. I think its only worth to buy used if you are having a huge savings but you only saved around $100. Imo, its better to pay a little more and get a brand new bag, and one that you know is authentic - plus the shopping experience is always fun too :)

but in any case I do hope that you receive the bag, in great condition and that its authentic! good luck and let us know what happens.

I prefer to buy new because of OCD issues.....

Did you get your bag yet?

Yes, I just posted it over in the main forum with the reveals. DEFINITELY spent too much! lol

I had been looking at them on ebay, and it seemed like they were selling really high, and ALL 4 of the ebay ones that I was watching were auction only (which irritates the heck out of me, I don't do auctions) so I just bought one from fashionphile.

It's in excellent condition, I *think* the date code was 2007? Not sure, I didn't realize that fashionphile would remove all traces of the listing as soon as I clicked "send payment" so I can't look at it or the description. lol

Anyway, the 4 on ebay are coming down to the last day, and they aren't anywhere NEAR $600. None of them even have ANY bids, and one of the sellers just emailed me and offered to let me have hers for the opening bid of $550!

So, do you think I spent too much?

I went to "Start Selling" on ebay, and under the "What's it worth?" I looked up damier azur speedy- it looks they they sell for an average of $400-$600, with $600 being on the really high end.

Rats! What do you think?

This is a little off-topic, but where do you find the 'what's it worth' feature..? I've looked all around Ebay and Google, but still can't find it

Trumanfinn, I also read about your reveal - glad you did send it back in the end!
