I just figured they'd recently gone up because my SA told me she had the Beige/Black for $440 just last week?:confused1:
was the beige/black from fall?

Lol! Seriously?! I thought Beige/black was from this season too. I haven't received my hibiscus/orange pouch so maybe I was quoted the wrong price?? I got one from fall for 440 and remember being told about the increase to 470 when I preordered ythe orange/hibiscus.

I have no problem with sellers selling for a small profit if they buy a bag and decide they don't want it or it won't work, and they can't return it -- but if it's possible to return, I'd rather see that person return the bag to the retailer so that someone else could have the chance to buy it.

I do have a problem with sellers who buy up bags that people are actively looking for and list them above retail cost -- especially when the seller KNOWS that people are actively looking for those bags at retail cost.

How many people here have been actively looking for a pink mini? And how many pink mini's are currently listed on ebay (or have been listed in the past few weeks) far above retail cost? That, IMO, is selfish and greedy and I don't approve of it.

(I feel this way about ANYTHING that's HTF and currently being sold on ebay -- and yes, I AM an ebay seller. But if I have something I know other people want or are looking for, I do a 99 cent/no reserve auction with a BIN price that's equal to my cost, incl fees and let the bidders determine the final cost.)

I am sure I had seen a bag of yours with a reserve price once, but that could be my mistake

I think this is always an interesting discussion because of all the different points of view. :tup:

Hi Celine ladies and gents!!!

I have a small, growing, Celine collection (Vlad needs to take a pic!!!). I had placed a Citron Nano on order a while back and it finally came in this week. I paid $1650 for it and that price was honored - but when I went into Kirna Zabete they told me the price went up to $2,000. The official tag also said $2,000.

But there is a bit of a discrepancy - I heard from another bag blogger that she said Bergdorfs said there was no price increase and neither did the Celine store in Miami.

Any of you know anything about this or can shed some light?!

Yes, I did a reserve price auction on my gently used luggage bag -- and my reserve price was below retail (so was my final selling price). I didn't buy the bag to sell, I didn't buy it to profit, but I also wasn't willing to let that one go far below retail, mainly because I sold it to recoup the funds I spent on a new one & I wasn't willing to sell that one as far below retail as most of my bags sell (and I still sold it for less than what I paid for the new one). I rarely list NWT bags on ebay unless it's something I bought for myself and it's too late to return -- and even then, I don't list those bags higher than retail

(If you're interested in some of my selling prices on ebay, please PM me, and I'd be happy to send you a list of my closed listings -- most of my designer bags sell FAR below retail, whether they're new or gently used, because I do 99 cent auctions with no reserves. most people think I'm crazy for doing that, but I buy my bags to use, not sell. If I decide to resell it later on, then anything I make on its sale is considered a profit as far as I'm concerned)

I just purchased a black mini luggage from the Barney's in Chicago. It rang up at $2400 but they honored the price on the tag, which was $2000. Hurry and see if you can find them with the old tag!

I just returned my Black mini luggage (yeah, so stupid) 2weeks ago at the price of $2000 not knowing that there would be a price increase and now I wanted it back. Saks just put a new price tag($2400) over the old price tag even though it was from the old shipment (inventory at $ 2000 price tag) so my local SA would not honored the old price...and it was not even 1/24 yet.

I am certainly not arguing about the best way to sell on eBay, that was of course not the point of my explanation, and furthermore you have missed the 3-4% fees charged by PayPal. So between the two, depending on how you list, it is over 100. Again not the point, and certainly not a conversation for here either. We can agree to disagree.

Experienced sellers understand the burden of the overhead of buying bags and floating that cost along with the hundreds of dollars it can cost to list in the manner which best suits each situation. Educated buyers know that sellers bear this overhead for months, and appreciate the extremely hard work that goes into trying to help people while being sensitive to what is fair in all sides. Although these and other bags are hard to find, many resellers have suppliers not available to the mass public. Being business savvy and entering into mutually-consensual agreements equals success all around.

Every bidder determines what and if they will pay simply by choosing to bid or not to bid. If someone assigns a value to an item they wish to own, the seller is not selfish for offering it. The buyer still chooses the price.

The nude/black and Hibiscus pouches are Resort, and did cost $480ish. Now all will cost $520 to $550. Trios will be $990.
