I listed 2 more bags today. So, I have a total of 5 listed.

I did a quick check of prices on my red Prada DZT. Ack! They’re horrible. So I shan’t be selling that bag for any reason. More motivation to enjoy it and rotate. Lol!

I’m a little frustrated with people. I’m selling an area rug. I had an apt at 10 today for someone to come by. They no showed after confirming this morning. :mad: So, I contacted the person who begged me to let them know if the first person didn’t come. Though we had agreed on a selling price they tried to get me to cut it in half. When I said no, we agreed to a price and that is what I’m selling it for, they actually said I needed to “get over myself” and just sell the rug.

:cursing:

Has any sense of civility completely been abandoned on the Earth??? Why be nasty? And, how did they expect the transaction to go if we met in person after that ignorance? SMH!?

This is yet another reason why I don’t want to sell things anymore. People can be so idiotic and mean spirited.

My January stats:

In - 1 (counting my final Massaccesi order that would probably arrive in April)

Out - 0

SLG: 1 wallet in (One wallet woman here!)

For the challenges, I only actually aimed for New Year New Bag and that was a success for all 3 bags! I accomplished 14 in 31 though I really knew this was not a real challenge since I used 10 bags or more for each month of 2018 except in December (only 9) when I went on my vacation.

Not sure yet which challenge for February.

That’s really terrible to hear. I don’t know where people learn that it is okay to have horrendous manners like that! It really can ruin your day sometimes! I’m sorry about that!

I never wore black much until recently. Once I started buying colorful purses, my wardrobe because less colorful. Now I often dress in all black with the only pop of color being my purse.

Yes, that's been my go-to look for quite a while. Color in my purse, and also if I wear one of my H scarves. Which is a look I quite like! But I'm feeling a bit stuck in a rut, and I want to examine some more options. Especially if I can do it without spending a fortune on new clothes. :smile:

These are great stats for January. I know that a lot of tPF members who carry Maccaccesi bags were very sad that he's decided to close up shop. I don't follow the thread, so I don't know the details. Is he moving on to another venture, do you know? Or is he retiring from the world of leather goods?

I totally understand. After driving to two different places to meet people who wanted to buy an iPhone and having them not show up....arggggg. I no longer try to sell items. I donate or gift them.

I’m just about there. It isn’t worth the hassle for pennies.

I just don’t get why it’s so hard to send a quick text saying you aren’t coming.

I sell inexpensive items by posting them on a local sales page. The items must be picked up at my home and I only offer times that are convient. I have had great luck with super nice people showing up on time. I only do it with items that are hard to donate or bulky to get to a donation place. I lost them really cheap. I hate throwing things out, would rather see if someone can use the items. I do not bother with clothing or anything I can easily donate. Not worth the time.
