Forgot to tell you, ladies!
Yesterday, I walked past a shop with a few used bags on display.
In fact, there was an auction sale in the afternoon.
I had seen a 40 cm LV Speedy in excellent condition.:smile:
I asked a friend to attend the auction with me.
Long story short, my friend had to leave maybe fifteen minutes before "my" bag's turn...:nuts:
The organizer of the sale said
" We have an Internet offer on his bag. €170!
Anyone here interested? €180?"
I had a sort of panick attack. Much too shy..... to say "Me":tdown::tdown:
I didn't say anything.... The person on the Internet got it for €170!:frown:
I was devastated. Angry with myself.... and with my friend who is used to auction sales and would have bid for me....:oh:
See how childish I am?:sad::sad:

Well, that's a hard one to get over.
Really good price on a preloved Speedy.
40cm is a HUGE bag though.
I tried one on in the boutique and it was wider than I am.
Too big for a handbag yet not really big enough for luggage. The opening isn't really large enough to be practical unless you are very careful getting things in and out. I found the slipper to be scratchy on my thin skinned hands.
Plus the handle drop wasn't very large necessitating the purchase of a cross body strap.
While sad to miss a "deal" maybe it wasn't the right bag for you?

I know--that red tone!:hbeat:
Unfortunately, my cut-rate ninja squad is moody today.
And having grumpy naps with their teddy bears

Thoughts of the postina will soothe your thoughts.:coolio:

I found bag I like on poshmark.
But am too alarmed to buy.
Especially after reading tpf poshmark reviews.:whut:
Tragic.

It's hard to miss out sometimes on "deals".
If it had been the perfect one you probably would have been leaping over people to get to the front shouting "me me me". [emoji41]
40 cm is large enough to need its own seat on the train.
