Like a bad memory attached to it. Think... it was a gift from the ex that cheated on you so you sell the bag or something lol

Hell no. I’d buy a dead person’s bag if the price was right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Yes, but do you believe in this?
* high five *
Seriously, I didn't think something like that would be a thing.
But different views make the world (and tpf) interesting
Not a big fan of buying a pre-owned bag unless it came from my bff or someone I know who buys a lot from LV store. Given how good some of the AA+++ fakes are (and I've seen a few), I rather be on the sure side and buy from store than resell websites. My guess is most of the bags on these resell websites are authentic but there is always a chance that a fake one slips through. Online authenticators are just that... they can make mistakes as well. The only way to be 100% sure I'm buying something genuine is from store or from trusted friends and family. Thus my preference is buy new... and preferably in Europe where LV is substantially cheaper! 
I am pretty sure I have bought dead person's handbag, jewelry or other items.
I buy items from flea markets and thrift stores; the vendors at the flea markets get their merchandise from storage auctions.
Got three Louis Vuitton bandouliere keepalls size 50s and two 60s for a couple of hundred dollars. Had them authenticated by Designer Divas on Facebook.
Oh, I don’t try to waste anyone’s time, I only ask questions if I’m highly interested in purchasing and the photos are not clear or they didn’t post a specific part of the bag that I need to see to confirm or deny it’s authencity. Also, some sellers will hide blemishes in photos and you only see them once you’ve ordered the bag and have it in your hands. So if there are not photos of hardware, inside, zipper, datecode, scuffs, etc. I will ask for more. Some sellers are not exactly bag enthusiasts and have stumbled upon some vintage items and may not know what photos to post, other than the bag itself. I’ve just noticed in my experience the ones who get rude with you tend to be bad sellers, they get paranoid once you start asking questions. I don’t usually sell items online, so I wouldn’t know about the time wasters that I am sorry you have to deal with. I don’t want anyone to think I was wasting their time, every time I have made the purchase after confirming the authencity of the purse.

I've bought brand new once, and never again unless it's a relatively inexpensive item (key holder for instance - because the price used is ridiculous compared to what I could buy it new for) But all of my bags with the exception of one have been pre-loved. No complaints, just be cautious and do your research (get the item authenticated before buying)
Oh, I'm so thrilled! I just received my pre-owned Honfleur clutch. I use LV bags every day and yet I found myself wondering what I would carry to a fancy wedding later this month and wished I had a black LV clutch. On a whim, I looked at Yoogi's Closet and there it was! Just listed, great price and lovely condition. I love the option of a little strap, too, but the best part for me is the four card slots and roomy interior. I'm done with those tiny evening bags with my license and credit card floating around freestyle and barely any room for essentials, including keys. With the strap, I can use this beyond fancy occasions for sure! This is my third Yoogi's purchase ..every transaction has been a fabulous experience. So, I'm a fan of the pre-owned route.
