The AG “hip” I believe is not a hip, I think it’s a shoulder
Strap looks very short and description says “shoulder bag”

I wish the wear wasn’t so much , or else I’d be jumping on it
The Shoulder also seems to be missing its mini mirror, fwiw...!

I dug into this a lot, so seems like a good time to share:

Shoulder: Introduced Holiday 04/5 and SS/05 (A) and ended ~SS/08 (T)
Hip: After that, lol.

Thats the seller I bought the Dark Turquoise City from
She's really sweet and pretty reasonable when it comes to offers on heavily worn items (FWIW ;))

Hi guys, since someone already posted i in finds - can I talk about it?
😔I’m the one with the overpriced Apple. I got ‘screwed’ by TRR describing the corner as “wear”. And not knowing the real cost of repair, I accepted their measly credit instead of sending it back and being patient. I’d never had a bag repaired before and accepted the credit before getting the quote. Once I saw the quote, I realized I might not be willing to invest that much into it, instead just sell & be patient for another. So now, I’m just not trying to take a huge loss.

@zestapasta pointed out to me that the strap not being included should be reflected in price IDK why I didn’t even consider that and their right. So, I’ll drop the price in a few days.

Part of me is waiting to see how I can handle the Work size (otw from another TPF member via eBay) to see if I can handle it as an often-carry.
- If I can’t, I’ll add the strap back into the city listing.
- If I can, then I’ll drop the price on PM and M*rkari.

What advice do you all have for getting over the gut-punch of concealed damages (without the option of return/appropriate compensation)? It’s not like it’s $20…it’s a hard pill to swallow, but the first time it’s happened to me (I guess I’m lucky).

Mods @Addy @Vlad LMK if you want me to make this a different thread. I know it’s started to morph into a whole other convo.

In my defense, I sent the close up pic of the damage and it wasn’t included in the listing. I only realized when a different TPF member made an offer and I went back to check the listing bc I didn’t want to screw her & saw the photo showing the damage wasn’t up. I added it.
You’re right though, that is a “ma’am moment. This is the first thing I thought of:
