I think everyone's acting on good faith here and just trying to anticipate/chat up the event. I'm not trying to 'invent' any problems, simply making observations and sharing my thoughts with everyone. It goes back to RM's track record with her bags, but she has said the repair requests have died down, so I guess it's looking positive for everyone
ITA. I get nervous about final sales period. Let alone with a busy online sale. But I was already at the NY SS so I cannot complain.

Plus unless I'm dying for a HTF bag I see at the online SS it will probably be about the same price as other etailers because of the NY tax & shipping etc.

But I hope everyone who couldn't make to an event in person has a fantastic experience & gets a great bag at a great price.

HG = holy grail

Have you tried any leather conditioner, such as Apple Guard, to rub out the scratch?

I am very appreciative that they are giving everyone the opportunity to purchase bags at the sample sale rate but that doesn't mean I'd like to spend $400 blindly on an item that is non-refundable. I don't think it's silly to ask repeat customers questions since no harm is done. If I do purchase something I'm going to start a thread that's titled "I'm not a sample sale sissy anymore!" LOL!

For what it's worth, I ordered two bags from the Holiday Sample Sale last year, and both arrived in pristine condition, wrapped in tissue paper and plastic and everything. Maybe some of the bags at the physical SS have some wear because they're actually out on the "shelf" so to speak, with a lot of people handling them, kwim?

^^Me too. Every bag i've ever ordered from RM has always been in pristine condition, well packaged, and never had any issues with them! I've ordered atleast 25+ bags from RM alone in the past year, including special orders, and never had any problems!

So do we know how this is going to work? will the website be all sample sale or will there be a tab section for sample sale? or will the bags that are on sale be in same place as non sale bags, just marked "on sale" ????

just preparing myself.....I want to know exactly what will happen so I don't lose any time ....it is like a race , or at least last time it was!!

From my past experiences shopping on RM.com sales, there were always special sale sections.

But they know tonight at 8:30 everything STOPS, lol!!! Geez, I hope I'm not geeking myself up for nothing.... please oh please let my bag be there. I'll be good for the rest of the year...I won't even ask Santa for a Christmas present.
