Hi ladies, so I'm planning to buy ny very first Chanel vintage (and might be my only one). Upon searching for some items on sale, I've stumbled on these items:
1. Chanel valentine's day collection. Priced approx USD1800
Cons: not exactly vintage as its series 13.
Pros: cheaper price than other listings I've found. Worn on extern part are relatively tolerable. Leather's really soft, and a bit wrinkled.

2. Chanel classic flap series 11. Price approx USD3000
Pros: Vintage. And not that old in age. Condition based on pic's really good considering this is vintage item.
Cons: around 60% more expensive than the val's day edition.

3. I'm planning to make a trip to Japan, and would like to check some of them out. Based on their websites, I've found some reference of pricings and items that they have. This item I've attached is priced at approx USD2600
Cons: series 3. Around 10 years older than no.2
Pros: vintage. Slightly cheaper. Good condition.

Personally I really like no.2, but the price is a bit much. And I'm concerned if its too high for this bag?

Would be really helpful to have some opinions from wonderful people here. Many thanks.
