AG Day. Non pristine, but still lovely, and price not nuclear powered. @*Jenn*



Maybe its an omen that I agreed to too high a price for this bag, but I bought this and today, the seller cancelled because she says one of the rivets at the base of the strap came loose. She says she plans on having it fixed & relisting it.

I suppose we'll see, but just a heads up in case you see it in the future.
One things for sure, I definitely won't pay the same price in that condition w/that repair.

It’s already up again. New price $402.50.
 
Yeah I saw that, but when you click on it , it was sold for 414? I guess that’s what I was trying to say

You can still make an offer lower than the listing price. We won’t know how much the sold price dropped until it’s sold. But we can see by how much the listing price dropped.

I made an offer, she countered with $414 & I accepted.
She had said she’d tell me when it was relisted. She didn’t. Her response. Not sure I trust a repair done so quickly. Don’t think I’ve ever seen such fast turnaround (4 hrs? from the time she noticed, took it in, had it repaired, new pics, relisted?) Her new pics also make the bag look worse. Guess the cancellation was a good thing

My guess is that she didn’t realize she didn’t disclose the rivets until after it sold? But then said she needed it replaced instead of just saying she didn’t disclose it prior to selling? I think it may be a good thing , seems a little off

She may have tightened it herself.

Totally understandable that the new photos and the seller's story not adding up makes you disinterested in the bag. But in the grand scheme of things it's hard to characterize what the seller did as bad. She backed out of a higher pay day, and dropped the price on the relist to make a more complete disclosure. Wish more sellers would do that.
