But for the trapeze, I'd say definitely go for the more expensive one, because the first one has too many scuffs on the leather and even dirt on the side! You can't fix those..

nyaao said:At first I thought losing out on $600 was a bit much, but now I strongly think you should go for both of the better condition bags--you'd never regret it, and you would regret otherwise! And I'm the type of person to not care about minor imperfections, but for some reason the marks and scuff marks all bother me... so I bet for a perfectionist like you, you'd feel sad everytime you saw it.
