It only costs a seller .25 to load 12 enlarged pictures of a bag to sell on e-bay....

I don't understand why sellers don't take advantage of this. Pictures sell a bag...and will cut down on so many questions and additional requests for more pictures....

I can't tell very much about the condition of the leather from the pictures with this listing....

^I agree! Def ask for more pictures. I would want that pocket cleaned! GA is a beautiful leather/glaze.

I think it costs $60 including return shipping to have the lining changed. I bought a nikki that needs lining replacement but I have been putting it off, I wish it was cheaper!

^ouch! I think I would try cleaning the pocket myself first. If it were the entire lining, I would def. go for a new lining by RM, but cleaning just the pocket would be my first option.

It might be worth it to have the lining replaced in this case. But only if the exterior of the bag is in good condition too...it's kind of hard to tell.

The base could be creased from general use too. The matinees seem to have a softer bottom when you break them in. So when you carry them on your shoulder and squish the bag, the base could get creased like that, especially if you do it everyday.

The price must change depending on how much you sell on ebay? I've never got the 25 cent pkg option, so I only load a few pics at time. But I do email more pics if requested to.

Advice: When you make on offer on Bonanzle. . . how long do you wait to hear back from the seller before you send a message? I put in an offer on Sat. and have not heard back. I would like to move on. . .

knasarae · Sep 14th, 2009, 01:21 PM

Good question...some people aren't really around on the weekend. So I'd give it til tomorrow or Wednesday morning.

Odebdo · Sep 14th, 2009, 01:24 PM

Wow..I always try to respond as quickly as I can...although I noticed yesterday the emails alerting me to messages and offers were really delayed...like hours...so maybe they didn't get it??

baghag411 · Sep 14th, 2009, 01:28 PM

Thanks . . . I will wait . . . patiently. . .

I have no idea, I self host all of my photos on photobucket and HTML them into the auction body. It may not look the prettiest but I can have as many photos as I want and not pay.

Thanks for the tip. And ebay doesn't mind this? I would hate to have some A-hole report my auction because I'm bending the rules somehow.
