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.
yeah i dont think it makes her a bad seller, but I could see why it would hinder me or someone else as a buyer. either way she disclosed it and then relisted for less. unfortunately, some sellers aren't so transparent.

No, I wasn’t insinuating she’s a bad seller. I meant I think it was a blessing in disguise — I offered less based on its condition but she was set on her price, which knowing about the rivet and seeing better pics of the wear, make me glad I didn’t go through with it. I wouldn’t normally pay more than $400 for a heavily worn/used Day, but the color made it seem worth it. All things considered, I’m glad it was cancelled because I think I would have regretted it upon receipt

you guys -- is this the same redyed/painted blue bag we saw a few weeks (months?) ago
The inside tag looks like 05 Navy & you can actually see spots where the original color bleeds through

i'm not seeing what you're seeing.
The leather doesn't look dyed from my perspective - the mirror and bag color look the same IMO - and the picture of the tag is so hard to tell what year it is - i don't see a letter...
 
It doesn’t appear dyed to me either. The color looks a bit flat to me, but not unusual for some bags. I am annoyed with myself for often not noticing a missing strap on this or other RR bags pics.

so you guys think the outside of the bag matches the tag from the inside and what Navy looks like?
you don't think it looks 3-4 shades darker with the normal color coming through around the handles?
I mean I know the lighting at TRR is really off at times, but this doesn't look faded to me -- it looks either dyed or extremely dirty. the color of the mirror matching the bag made me think dyed

The pictures and lighting are so terrible, it's really hard to see - but from my eye the mirror and bag look to be the same color.
The mirror and center of the bag look identical to me 🤷‍♀️

I know. I never said they didn't look the same color
I said it doesn't match the color of the tag inside the bag which leads me to believe the bag was dyed

The edge paint on the mirror doesn't look right to me for FW 05 Navy...

Some ref pics from my FW 05 Navy First:

ETA: Like all of us who have trouble taking photos of our bag's colours, I feel like TRR has been struggling a lot lately and it's possible they're adjusting saturation/contrast too much, lol.
 
exactly
which is why I think it was dyed. The zipper tape -- altho it is hard to tell -- looks very similar too

I wish TRR would at least TRY to provide better photos or at least more information :cursing:
I don't think it was dyed tbh - the edge paint is too off for FW 05 Navy, imo.

... and I don't think they can edit the photos that much that the edge paint be that off on their photos.

Could be Blueberry (don't think it's Blueberry tho - not enough purple undertones?), Marine, or Ocean/Mer...
