I believe we are all intelligent enough to understand how things work and it is up to the individual to pay the price they can afford and not buy the bag if they believe it is too much.

i honestly think your comments have now become way to offensive to individuals and if you are really not happy with what you are reading on this forum stay away!

Are you the Robin Hood for the Ebay generation?
You are well known for your outspoken views, as Ellie pointed out.
Be nice - people come on here to share the love, not to diss others' choices!

Don't be sorry! Great to see you coming on here and asking for help! BTW - you got yourself a great bargain (yes!) and I hope it will really make your day when you receive it...

fuzzyfelt27 · Nov 4th, 2009, 10:49 AM

I'm one of the 700+ viewers of this and it seems you have a real personal grudge against MM because you feel like you've been "conned" by selling your bag at a lower price than she got when she re-sold it on.

Do you also feel conned every time you pay for something in a shop, e.g. Mulberry or Harrods, as they are making a stinking profit of several hundred pounds on every bag they sell. But you seem happy to give your money to them without any qualms, so what's the difference with eBay trusted sellers?

It seems your only intent here is to muddy the reputation of decent sellers who have earnt their credibility fair & square.

ETA: Sorry, I forgot to say well done Sjmidd on your new purchase, you did the right thing in checking the seller before bidding and you went with one of the best!

you have absolutley nothing to be sorry about. you asked a simpe question, that any smart person would do, to se if the seller was reputable. I congratulate you to your bargain, and looking forward to see the reveal later

It hurts to overpay, does not it? That's why buyers need to know where they overpay and what the true origin of their purchases is.
This thread has 60 replies, but 700 views. What do all other people think?

Yes i did mean quiet ! that was putting it politely ! i really meant to say SHUT UP

I think all the other people that have viewed this thread are probaly saying the same thing !!

I never dealt with MM and have NOTHING against her! And I never said anything bad about her, actually. I do not understand why you think I was negative.
I have never been conned. Read my post - it related to different seller not appropriate

[QUOTE=korzinka;13007266]I do not and did not dispute the authenticity of the bags that are sold by "reputable sellers". I also am well aware of the costs, tax, etc.
I personally like reassurance and customer service , that's why my printed Baywater comes from Harrods. Someone pays £429 on ebay for "trusted" bag without receipt, I paid £150 more to even more reputable, trusted and sussessful seller - Harrods.[/QUOTE]

How big of you, and congratulations! You talk about how a business seller like MM makes a profit and how terrible it is for the buyer, yet you choose to line the already bulging pockets of the very rich Mohamed Al Fayed by shopping in Harrods! How much of a mark-up do you think these big shops make! To think you'd paid an extra £150 just to say "you shop in Harrods" wow, big deal.

If people want to make a business buying cheap and selling for a profit - good luck to them. Ebay is a free market, if a seller is unhappy with the amount a bag sold for then they should have had a starting price that they would be happy to sell for. As for buyers, well they have the choice to buy or not buy!

Personally, i have nothing wrong with honesty but your comments were hurtful and tactless.
I have read many of the threads you have posted in and 9/10 you will say something contreversial just to get a reaction, which is just PATHETIC IMO!!!

OK sorry I misread the seller, but regardless your point in post 54 "She bought one of my bags, put the price up £170" is still labouring the fact that the seller re-sold your bag at a profit and your general tone in all responses, as I see it, is nothing more than trying to ruin the reputation of the sellers in question

Dear SJmidd,

I am so pleased for you, you have chosen a lovely bag, peace of mind AND at a great price.

When you get your bag - Please please do a reveal and a modelling pic so we can all share in your delight and tell you what a great choice you made.

You are going to love it - well done!!

Love Ells xx

Exactly! Enjoy your beautiful bag, and don't forget to post pics when it arrives!

iLuvBagsnChocs · Nov 4th, 2009, 11:27 AM

Must admit I agree with the majority of posts here, but maybe its time to agree to disagree, korzinka everyone is welcome to an opinion here but bottom line is that they are trusted reputable sellers, so maybe before things are said that cant be taken back we should draw a line under this before we give our lovely mod too much editing too do!!

Edit; ooh forgot to say, sjmidd congrats on your new bag & dont forget to post pics when you get it, we all love a new reveal!!

hulahoop · Nov 4th, 2009, 11:54 AM

Congratulations on your new bag Sjmidd, dont forget to post pics when it arrives!

maplecottage · Nov 4th, 2009, 12:15 PM
