generally I think they are worth more with original parts. If you are selling it, it should be up to the buyer whether to replace or not.

Thank you so much for your positive energy and advice on this one! My hubby intercepted our mail carrier and they found the package!! Mis-delivered to someone else's parcel locker. I got the bag! It's perfect, beautiful, and in amazingly good shape. Just have to do something about the musty smell...
Thanks for posting your clean-ups and rehabs! It is a reminder for me to look for this cute Y2K bag I have somewhere that is perfect for summer and clean it up. Before August arrives …
This poor little Chelsea zip was on auction on ebay, and no one wanted her. I did! Mangled and creased. And the strap attachment needs some re-gluing. No biggie! The bag is actually in fabulous condition and is coming along nicely. It was sold as black but I think it's navy.
Did my post get removed? I made a long one that seems to have worked because I'm now subscribed to this thread, but it's gone and so is my post history of it.

Under your profile you’re only showing 1 post which accounts for this one. You don’t need to subscribe to any thread. Now that you are a member of thePurseForum, you can post in any thread. It can take a bit of time to navigate around and understand how the different forums, subforums and threads are laid out.
Maybe start with a few short posts to test the waters here. We were all new here once. I get it.
Did you get a notification of removal? It might just be a glitch, or something to do with being a new member with a "waiting period." Post again!!Did my post get removed?

I guess it was removed, there's no other explanation I can think of, but I don't have any notification of removal, and I would really love to at least have the post back so I can copy the text I worked hard on, and post it to another forum.
I've tried it on a Putty bag, with limited success. However, I think a lot depends on how long the ink has been on the leather. The stain I worked on was very well-established. After many different treatments, I got it to fade (it went from very dark blue to pale denim blue) but it's still there.
I'm thinking the same thing! There are no bin stores/outlets in Massachusetts, where I live, but there's one just over the state line in New Hampshire!
Echoing #2. I have a Bone bag with a couple of lines of blue ink inside. After learning about benzoyl peroxide cream here, I bought some and applied it with a tiny paintbrush. Let it sit overnight, wiped off with a white* cloth, let dry. 2 nights of this and the ink is barely noticeable.
*Don't let the cream touch colored textiles with color. It will discolor them.
Speaking of challenging bags, Connie: this one isn't Coach but when I saw it I thought of your rehab skills right away!Because I need more challenging bags to rehabI wonder what happened to this bag. If all else fails black leather dye.
