ETA: found it! But I'm a cheapskate... Even though it seems like a good price in this market. 🤔
Seems a bit steep for this style, imo. Although it does look to be in impeccable shape and the color is just gorgeous! Is this Mystery Green? I can't really tell on my phone screen. Half the price and I'd be in trouble, haha!
I can't remember what letter code is mystery green again?
I got an offer for $800 but I want to spend no more than $450..
2 pics & rehabbed corners, no mirror, Very Good Used condition = $3200+????
A sign of the times in today's greedy world
I guess if you've got money to burn

Handles too???Handles too!There may be a dustbag!
I missed that part
I had a bag with rehabbed corners and handles. It might be pleasing to the eye, but it doesn't restore its original appearance/texture
Its also one thing for the original owner to have a bag they bought 20 yrs ago and they love rehabbed, its another thing entirely to expect someone to buy a used bag thats been rehabbed for more than 3x its original price
I'm sorry, but these prices are just getting out of hand lately ($2100 for a Work??)
Got to be a devils advocate here for repaired handles. Matched perfectly, I find them much better than original, simply because they will be impervious to darkening. Makes a City bag much more care free. But yes, for a purist, not so good. 😊
I agree. LMB does an amazing job on handles and corners. Worth the money imo. That said, 20 years later, you need to choose your battles. These bags are rare enough that the chances of finding these bags mint are like winning the lottery.
Just so we’re all on the same page, and because I see the refund on my CC (lol), allllll the piping on this FW 04 Marigold City was redone in a plasticky way:

It looks OK in the photos, but IRL it was all crackling and some of the material used to the repair had gotten on the bag too.
Ex…
If you wanna give it a go, maybe you can also ask for a return since they still didn’t disclose it.

2. Crazy rare bags in one-day!
This is unbelievable! You spend 20 years looking for these, and then suddenly there they are. This is crazy.
I hope it doesn't ruin the impression of how rare these bags are...almost 20
years and. I've never seen one, let alone 2!
What is going on lilac 03, dk turquoise, 04 red.... im floored!
Hard to express..but part of me.is disappointed. Dk turquoise at bargin IMO, red super high price...I kinda want rare to be rare. I doubt that makes any sense.

I only want them to be rare once I own them. If I'm looking for them, I want them to be easy to find and therefore affordable.
Haha!
I know these come in waves sometimes...but still makes me feel kinda down. Hard to describe.
Every time I take a break or go on a no buy, there is so many good deals. When you come off a no-buy there is nothing or outrageous prices. PLEASE BAL GODS BLESS ME WITH A VERT GAZON OR VERT POKER.
SAME! I swear I saw several gorgeous greens pop up a few months ago when I was trying to be good, and now that I'm in buying frenzy, they're nowhere to be found ðŸ˜
