Bonanza. I have bought from there a couple of times. Lots of the sellers on Bonanza are here on TPF also. There are some divided opinions on whether that is a good thing or not, lol, but I am pretty trusting. I don't think there are many (or maybe even ANY) fake Hayden Hartnett items out there.
Good luck.
Well thanx... I m kind of like tht Trusting... I dont know it's debatable but the fact of the matter is we need to build each others trust or society will fall apart ... But I will certainly check out the site... Thanx again
I was referring to the fact that if you Google the subject there are differing opinions on how reliable TPFers are, etc.
I think it's a load of hooey. I have had nothing but good experiences on Bonanza and with TPFers. Sorry if I gave any other impressions.
I love this site and the folks here have been very welcoming and helpful to me.
Only when the quality of the bag turns out to be bad. I recently bought a bag that was the most expensive I've ever gotten but it's actually the one I feel least guilty about because I like it so much and the quality is good. The problem is more when you get a bag and it doesn't really seem worth the money, then it stays on my mind a little.
I have been lusting over the Stresa PM since last summer!!! I don't have kids or a mortgage, but I do have student loans. I've always felt guilty buying any designer bags. I own a few, but I never used my own money to purchase them. My husband says I deserve to treat myself, however, he doesn't understand what's the obsession with an overpriced bag. Neither do I, but I love it anyway!!!
I don't feel bad.
I buy all my expensive items with cash, not credit.
I also don't neglect any of my other payment obligations for a bag
Savings always comes first and what is left is extra
Good communication with my husband about purchasing a luxury item and his thoughts. ( he has and always will give me the world but if I'm impulse shopping for the sake impulse shopping, he will let me know lol)
This is what I do, by no means am I putting anyone down who does the exact opposite but this what has helped me not live with any shopping regrets

Well, since I haven't paid more than $200 on a bag yet, I haven't felt too guilty. But I have paid more for watches and jewelry, and I buy expensive paint without blinking. (Gallons and gallons! 
)
I process the guilt before I buy. I analyze it to death, then I ask my gut if it's the right decision, then I wait a month to see if I still want it or if it's still available. Guess that takes a lot of the fun out of shopping. But I get to look at more options, which is 95% of the fun. When I buy, I appreciate it more because I know I made the right decision.
