no... and I don't think I would try either. You don't know what others do to these bags, especially since they know that they're not "theirs" they won't take care of them very well.
Eg. I don't take care of a few of my own LV bags, I take them into my anatomy locker and stuff them there along with other things that have most likely been in contact with DEAD PEOPLE JUICE! That's also one of the reasons I don't do ebay either, cuz again, you don't know what these bags have been through!

Oh, CEC, no! Doesn't it get that horrible smell of whatever it is they use in place of formaldehyde now? To this day, that smell makes me ill, and it's been ten years since I've taken anatomy!

Mental note: Never buy a used bag from this poster! :yucky:
 
Hi Everybody,
I was wondering if anyone has borrowed chanel bags from Bag Borrow or Steal. I have never borrowed from them before. I was just wondering if anyone has had any good experiences and if the bags were actually authentic. :tup:
 
Authentic but RIDICULOUS. I got curious about the site after some tPF'ers got some good deals on purchasing the outlet bags. To borrow one of the bags I currently own, they want something insane like $700/MONTH. The "cheaper" end for Chanel was around $400/month if I'm not mistaken. I'd much rather save that kind of money and buy my own. Not worth it.
 
Hi guys ive been wandering back and forth about this site,
I wanna borrow a bag then buy it after....

just wondering if anyones done that?
and how much would the bag cost in the end if you've payed for a few months rent of the bag already?
 
^I don't think that they "lease" bags out like that. The only way to buy a bag from them is to catch it up for sale in the outlet. :yes: Otherwise, you'd be paying the really high price to rent it and you'll have to send it back.

The only complaints I've heard about the outlet on Bag, Borrow, or Steal is that sometimes they forget to include the authenticity cards and booklets. I remember one TPF'er bought something from them and they forgot the authenticity card and they said they would have to look for it.

At that steep of a discount, I don't think I'd care as much about the authenticity card because I don't resell my bags. If it's something that would bother you, I'd call them first to make sure they have the authenticity card (that matches # on hologram sticker), dust bag, and care booklets for the bag you're interested in buying. :yes:

*edit*
Just read this off the site:

If you fall in love with an item you've borrowed, ask us about a purchase price.

We'll gladly sell you any item you're renting. We will evaluate the accessory's age, condition and how easy it will be to replace—then let you know if the item is available for purchase.
