Dear fellow Hermes lovers, (sorry, can't figure out how to add accent marks!)
I've just purchased a secondhand Bolide 31 (2005) from Ann's Fabulous Finds and desperately need your advice!
This will be my second Hermes bag -- I also have a (new) Jypsiere 28 in gold clemence, which I love.
I've been wanting a Bolide in this size and color (rouge H) and I really like this leather, which is vache liegee, since it isn't too slouchy.
The bag is in great condition, with some scratches inside that don't bother me since I'm sure I'll scratch it myself. It came with the shoulder strap, clochette, dust bag and one key. Price was $4500; a new B31in clemence is $8100.
So my question is: Do you think this is a fair price given that it has only one key and no box? Does the one key hurt its resale value enough for me to spend nearly twice as much on a new bag??
Thanks SO MUCH for your input!! xoxo Alisa
Beautiful bag ! Box does not add additional value to resell and missing one key is not a big deal. I think that the price is fair. Congrats and enjoy her.
