I just bought another Regina on Posh. LOL.
They are! It's BT and looks to be in decent shape. She accepted $45 even though she was asking $99. I guess making a low offer sometimes works. Now hopefully I will actually get it and it's as described. No hangtag but I have a BT Prairie.
Right now I am working on rehabbing a vintage red bag that is in bad shape - so who am I to be telling you to be cautious?! But I got the bag for only $5 at a local thrift shop so I figure that it's worth the risk.
It's totally your decision. The seller might consider a lower offer and you might be able to hide that stain with paint if you can't get it out - but red can be a tricky color to match. Good luck!

to the veterans...how easy is cornflower blue to rehab...will it colour up after dunking or do we need to add colour with paint?
Not cornflower, but I have rehabbed several blue bags over the years in various shades and they all responded well and the color generally became deeper and more consistent.
Sometimes the blue color bleeds into the water as you know! But it didn't hurt the bag. Here are after pics of a sapphire Casey bag that I rehabbed years ago.

thanks...am thinking of getting something in cornflower...its doesnt look too bad and as its just for me I can live with any lightened edges.
The Soho's are tough, and pastels are even worse. Usually once the color is gone on a pastel bag, its gone. The edging might blend in better with a dunk.
I'm trying to clean up a Wooster, in part because it has a very musty odor. I gave it a bath, but while the smell dissipated a little, it's still present. I don't have the option of hanging it outside at this time to try to get rid of it that way (apartment living, no balcony) Although I guess I could try leaving it in my car with the windows cracked... Do you think that might help? Or any other suggestions?
No advice from me, but I just wanted to say I want a Wooster kinda bad.
I hope you find one! This one I'm planning on selling myself, as I have since learned I'm not a fan of hoboish style shoulder bags (I know there are rules of doing so on tpf though?). It does have a darkened spot on the back that I don't know if I can get rid of, but it's otherwise in really good shape.
