Nordie's score Yay! So I just ordered this cute little bag at a great bargain: http://www.coach.com/online/handbag...t2Id=5000000000000052052&tier=2&LOC=LN#105027

and I think it was meant to be :) Here's my story (sorry, longish but I had to share before I burst and I CAN'T tell dh!) -I was looking for a bag that I could just take to the park for my sons teeball games and not have to freak out about it....meaning it had to be both cheap and cute (and preferably crossbody). Anyway...ordered a glam tote from the recent Madison/Poppy factory online sale and didnt' really like it when it came in. Trekked to my boutique to return it and look for something else. I swear I spent like an hour in the store going round and round about all these other glam totes and poppy bags (dove/silver, dove/rose, khaki/bronze, legacy stripe....you get the idea)...then, I spied a white/silver sig glam tote and it was love at first sight! :hbeat: BUT there was no way I could take her to the park worry free, not in white!....what's a girl to do? :thinkin: well OF COURSE I bought her and just figured I'd use something else to go to the park. Of course the poppy legacy stripes kept haunting me (see my sig, lol)....today I ran to Target for something else and felt oddly like I should peek into Nordstrom even though I was just there like 3 days ago. I decided that if I could park up front I'd listen to my gut....lmao. You can see where this is going....ran in quick and was checking out a teensy little poppy legacy stripe crossbody type bag that was marked down to $98 but, argh, so small! The nice girl comes over and says "do you need help?" On a total whim, I ask if they have the bigger bags in this pattern and she checks her system....hippie is avail and OMG only $113! :happydance: Guess who just found her "park" bag?! I can't wait!

Also on the sale table....because I know you all want to know:
1. plum patent Maggie around $250ish (also had matching wristlet at $39)
2. little crossbody type in op art sig, silky fabric with fawn colored leather trim (magenta/gray/fawn pattern....sorry I don't know this better!) It was like $98 and also had matching wristlet for $31 (came so close to bringing them home!)
3. a large black leather Lindsey, silver hw....can't remember the price
4. natural vachetta whipstitched hippie (didn't check the price, sorry!)
5. a bunch of black sig bags...sophia? lindsey? hard for me to tell and I was really pressed for time!
6. poppy denim sig little crossbody (maybe a hippie too? can't recall)

Sorry, that's all I can remember....happy shopping!

yay! oh how innocently you drove your car to and entered nordstrom :laugh:

i have the poppy legacy stripes from last year in the glam tote and it is just so lovely. the colors are cheerful and it is a bag i get compliments on. i was worried about how dirty it may get but the fabric has been great, no problems. so you've got yourself a great little piece of poppy legacy stripe!

and i'm glad to see the whipstitch and denim poppies are getting marked down, time for me to stalk stores around here...that's on my daughter's wish list!

I love that legacy, great find at a fantastic price!
 
Just wanted to report back that you both were right, the Lily I bought last week IS the Walnut color, I'm so excited!!! When I first opened up the box and looked at it, I wasn't so sure, but when I got out my Whiskey and compared the two, it is definitely Walnut!!! (bad news was that I noticed my Whiskey Lily, which hasn't been used in a while) is starting to suffer from the dreaded verdigris around the rivets. I spend an hour w/ toothpicks trying to clean her up!). The Walnut one I just bought is in LIKE NEW condition, yay!!

Oh that is AWESOME!!! I am so happy for you!!! :yahoo: It's a great bag, and I hope the color works better for you than the whiskey!

I also want to share I just nabbed a HG bag of mine that I missed in fp back '08 (I still have several I'm looking for!). It is an exotic Sabrina in PURPLE!!! NOT embossed, but the real $3k enchilada! I got a tip from someone, and I ordered it. It arrived very quickly, and while I was so NOT impressed with the way they shipped it AT ALL :tdown:, the bag looks to have not been used IMO...or at least very little. So now I'm happy I passed it up in fp (and even PCE, since that would have been a lot more expensive too!). On the shipping note, though, it's amazing to me that boutiques and consignment shops that deal with handbags don't have the first clue about proper packaging! It's worse than an Ebay seller sometimes! I also ordered a Florentine piece from D&B, and OMG, it was the worst shipping ever too! It even got misrouted, and time it got here, the box was half open, and the item was coming out of the packaging and just flopping around.

Anyway, CONGRATS on your great score!!!

Oh wow! Congrats to you both!
 
Argh, My e-bay saved "Lily" search returned one result today...My heart started racing as I saw it was an Atlantic Lily, then saw the seller ID .....That d*** scammer is back at with the same four listings that she cancels just before the end of the bidding.
Hopes crushed once again!:shucks:

i don't know the legacy scammer story...what does she get out of cancelling it before the end of bidding?

Nursie-I'm not quite sure msyelf what that would get her.....We had a previous discussion about these multiple listings (including the Atlantic Lily) of her bags in this thread back in early March and apparently she's been discussed before in the E-Bay forum as well....I think in that forum they were saying that she sent an empty box to the buyer (or buyers), then changed her ID several times... My only guess is that she contacts a potential buyer and offers them a discount to buy outside of e-bay/paypal, but then scams them? It's a head-scratcher that's for sure.

My curiosity got the best of me and I went to go find that thread in the E-Bay forum.
http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/the-scammer-is-back-on-ebay-645150.html

The other part of the scam (according to the posts in this thread) is that she sends the potential buyer a paypal invoice and selects "service" instead of 'goods' and apparently Paypal doesn't offer buyer protection for 'services', only 'goods'

OK, I already know now that I will probably forget this information again in another six months since my old brain is too filled w/ Coach style numbers and other useless information:p
