lionlaw...I, too bought a Choo from Portero last year. It was listed in Very good condition. Well, fool that I was when I got it, I didn't take out the stuffing for a couple of weeks. When I finally wanted to use the bag, I saw it had lots, and I mean lots of pen marks inside! I had gotten a pretty good deal, but still...that should have been mentioned. When I contacted them about it they said the 30 days had passed and they offered me nothing. Now I know that they probably get this kind of stuff all the time from people who buy, but this was not the first time I had bought from them.
Their descriptions seem to be lacking!
Now I will say, I bought a Bal bag from them for $200 and resold it on ebay for $700...seems it was a very rare bag that everybody wanted.
Did they refund your shipping?

It is by far the first, one and only just yet, that I ventured out of the regular retailers. The bag was originally sold-out and got mine brand spanking new! 
Yay to fate!
