Thank you very much!!!! Gotta go for now. DH and I going to church. I'm going to be doing some heavy duty praying tonight! Ha! Keep the suggestions coming though! They are much appreciated!
Also if you wait a few days to relist, your watchers from the first auction might get a little more anxious. I know if I have a lot of watchers that when I relist they are just waiting to see if the price is going to go down. A while back I had a Chanel Cambon bowling bag on Ebay in Pink/black that was MINT, and listed for a very reasonable BIN. It ended with no offers, and then the second time around a friend saw it and I sold it to her. Over the course of a week I had several watchers email me wondering if the bag was still available. 
Hiya,
I'm not in the market for this kind of bag, but if I was, the picture of the Gucci is really dark and grey, and out of focus round the edges - it just doesn't look appealing in that shot!
That's my honest opinion and not meant as a criticism or to be negative, but I wouldn't even bother reading on further on that bag from the main photo. Sad, but true - look at the quality of photos on the Gucci site and compare the two, looks matter!
You can see the same bag on the UK Gucci site at http://www.gucci.com/uk/product-shots/uk-english/uk/cl_hb_115867_F40KG_9643.asp
Do you have Photoshop or similar to lighten it up, add some contrast and balance the colour tones out?
I'll be happy to Photoshop a different picture for you, I tried with this one to post as an example of what I mean but it's too out-of-focus, that weird shadow behind it from where the door blocks the flash does it NO favours and - to be honest, hanging it off a door handle don't look pretty!
Try putting it on a dining table or shelf with a light background, if poss, and put in some padding so it is in good shape, and also I agree try to get a photo of someone holding it (you can never, NEVER have too many photos!) - then if you need any Photoshopping done, PM me in case I'm not checking the forums, and I'll PM back my e-mail address.
Hope that helps, it's minor, but maybe it will boost interest.
Oh and PS just noticed on the Gucci page for this baby, and I'm not sure what the US price is, but that bag goes here for £450 - which even with the whole dollar/pound thing means yours would cost me nearly as much as a new one at the BIN price, by the time shipping etc is factored in....?
I'm 100% on your side with this so if anything I wrote looks harsh, that's not my intention!
