2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Miss sparkle and shine

Sometimes I take my flashlight and go over it several times. Although it doesn’t get out often, a handful of times since I bought it in August, she is incredible.

Oops, sorry for spamming the thread. If there’s one bag I’m considering selling it is my Miu Miu bow satchel. I wore it once and the glazing is already peeling in several different areas. Should I sell it before it gets worse? Keep in mind I paid $10.79 (?) for it.

I can completely blame tpf. Someone posted pictures of their new bag and I couldn't resist. It was sold out but then yesterday it appeared on their website again. In my excitement and fear of missing out, I put the first style I saw in my shopping cart, then went back and decided I wanted a different style, but it said unavailable. So in my fear of not being able to get any of them, I bought the one in my cart. Then after I had checked out, the one I really wanted became available so I bought that one too. One or both will be returned.

It's a Brahmin bag.

I also bought a Coach bag from their factory online website about 10 days ago.

I can't seem to stop spending. Ever since Amazon Prime day, it seems I'm buying something nearly everyday. My food processor broke so I felt I had to get a new one. A tpfer posted pictures of their new bracelet from a brand I had never heard of, and the next thing you know, I bought some bracelets. At least they were really inexpensive, just costume jewelry.

Oh, I hear you @whateve! Amazone Prime day I managed to ignore, but H+M and their coupons, ebay and the classifieds have "helped me" spend more than I should lately, too. Yesterday I came back from grocery shopping with 3 pairs of jeans for DH...

There’s always a good reason to buy handbags! I’m still considering selling the dinky but I’m not 100 percent on selling it yet. I love the way it looks and it barely costed me anything. The space it takes up is very small too. I’m in a place where I don’t want to force myself to sell things that I like just to have more space. If I like something, it serves a purpose to me.

Thank you for this wonderful mantra @SakuraSakura!
If I like something, it serves a purpose to me
I feel I should start cross stitching this to hang on my wall like the old fashiones "home sweet home" ornaments!

If the glazing starts peeling and this is an issue you do not appreciate I´d list this bag for sale with a very clear description of the fault. Maybe there is anybody out there who does not mind the peeling. There´s not much to lose for you at the price you paid. Chances are good it will sell for a lot more.

I really Liked that perforated line!

I think that we are more forgiving when it boils down to how much we spent on an item. I really do like it but I’ll certainly have to think about whether I’m okay with this. There’s a thin line between a defect and natural wear & tear. I think it’s all peaches and gravy when it comes to selling it.

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT IT:
It was an incredible deal. The colour is so gorgeous. The leather smells fantastic.

THINGS I DISLIKE : the glazing issue appears to be a defect, not natural wear & tear. It may get more unsightly as time marches forward. It’s also really large.

Try and sell!

I might be that person who prices it higher in hopes that it doesn’t sell. Ah, the life of a purse junkie! I hope everybody is having a fantastic day.

I found a dior scarf tucked away in a box for years. It has a tiny spot on it . Is it still valuable? I have trouble touching silk so I don't ever wear it. I found a bunch of stuff I need to research but the other stuff is dolls and jewelry.

I was like this a few months after the start of the lockdown. But things have settled down a bit and I’m glad to be spending more on ingredients (and other necessary appliance before that) than on bags, which I already have a lot of. So maybe this is just a phase in the midst of this madness?!

I’m sure it is!
A tiny spot might still come out with cleaning, just be sure to include a photo of the spot in your listing. ❤️

...or maybe you will be the person to sell this one for a decent price reflecting the condition and bargain-hunt down another one of the same model that doesn´t have any issues that annoy you?

I´m sure the scarf is still valuable- maybe not for a collector who only wants mint, but for a buyer who wants to wear it because it is beautiful.

There really is nothing wrong with the condition though. It is in excellent shape other than the bit of glazing peeling. The interior is spotless and there’s little exterior wear. What annoys me is how the glazing is beginning to peel in the first place after a being worn a handful of times.
