I always hunt for bargains too! But now that RM has no codes, its really hard to get deals on NEW bags unless they don't sell well at stores, and get marked down. Out of 24 RMs, I've paid full price for my 8 preorders, my 2 wine bags, and my dark grey nikki... 11 out of 24... i guess thats not TOO bad considering the ratio. Anyhow- RM's leathers are of really high quality, so i definitely think they are TOTALLY worth the price! Especially this season with improved handles etc.
