I knew that their steal prices weren't that great but I had no idea they'd be above retail! Wow! For someone who likes variety though, I can appreciate the concept. I do however agree that paying $800/mth on a bag when you could save for a few months and buy a new one, is a little out of my realm of thinking.
Bag borrow or steal?

I borrowed a Medallion Tote from them recently and sent it back. it was sticky and worn out. it even had loose stitching. They gave me a full refund. I probably wont go back
They'd better call themselves "Bag, Borrow and Stealing your Money"
Haha! Good one

LOL!
I know that they spent a lot of money for their inventory, but I can never justify spending that much just to rent the bags and left with nothing at the end of the day. If you buy a bag, you can at least re-sell it and recoup some or if not most, of the money back after.
I am so glad that someone started this. I've had the same questions. I really want an XL jumbo flap and I thought this may possibly be a good alternative b/c I am skeptical of eBay. Turns out this doesn't sound like a good idea at all.
You can't buy their XL jumbo flaps. I've already asked. I'm skeptical of ebay also, but snagged a great bag on ebay last week!
I saw the photos you posted and it is gorgeous! I keep thinking I need to bite the bullet, have tPF help and hope for the best. The XL jumbo is my HG bag.
Everyone is very helpful @ tPF as far as authenticating a bag, at least they were with me.I saw the photos you posted and it is gorgeous! I keep thinking I need to bite the bullet, have tPF help and hope for the best. The XL jumbo is my HG bag.
I'd go for it. You know the vintage ones are so hot now, & they will probably only go up in price. The seller I bought from has another XL jumbo on ebay now. Go check it out: babypink*kitten. She is the one I bought mine from. Hopefully, it will arrive tomorrow.
Has anyone used this site? Do you like it? Have you ever 'stolen' the bag they sent you? Did it come in good condition? I think itd be nice to pay a small fee to have the bag for a bit, try it out, be sure I love it before I decide to buy it... Thoughts?
How bout the jewelry?

I think it works out pretty expensive to be honest. Those two hundred per month fees could buy you a pretty awesome bag in three months.
As for stealing the bag i'm not sure if people would get away with it... they have your credit card details and address so probably not the best idea. They will just continue to charge you month after month I guess? Then you will end up paying more than the bag is worth.. hmm. Apart from the fact that its blatantly wrong.
I've seen some really good offers on the outlet page, id' love to know if anyone has purchased from them.

no no, they offer a 'steal it' option, where you can purchase the bag if you love it. ahha i would never actually steal it!!
The "stealing" is something you can get away with.. they verify what the value of the bag is before they send it to you, and predetermine what to charge you if you decide to keep it.. and if you do keep it, they bill the credit card thats on file.
I looked into this before and decided not to do it. Its too costly... i'd rather just save and buy one elsewhere.
