I saw her vlog sale video too and shocked by the price of the bags, like heart bag for 9900 CAD and trendy cc 7900 CAD
I'm actually the same with my bags sometimes (as well as other purchases) so I can understand gushing over something then selling it a month later. I think it's hard to understand people's buying habits if it's not similar to your own. Amy's buying habits are a bit like mine, so I was surprised to see people getting so upset whenever she sells her stuff.
What makes me sad is her selling the bags that she still presumably likes (as I haven't seen her comment on why these bags haven't worked out for her) to fund more uninspired H purchases so she can keep her abusive relationship with Hermes going.
I think the reason why people are upset is because she is profiting off her platform using her subscribers to off load some of her things that she got to make unboxing videos for more views and accumulate endorsement deals on top of that. After she is done hyping up these products and then unload these stuff the cycle begins all over again. Whereas people like us who don't have such a platform and tried to spend money like that, it would lead us into a pile of debt because we all know that selling to a consignment store is a big lost. To each their own but something about spending my own hard earned money to support the overspending cultures designed to make us all feel bad about our current "collection" seems odd. How many people can really watch and like the bags and actually have the means to get it and just sits out and say "I'm good"? The more you look the more you will want. At least that's how it is for me so I try to just avoid watching it in general. lol
adding to @fairylady - there are so many genuine customers who love and cherish these popular bags/colours and end up buying for a premium since they are mainly offered to VIPS/Youtubers. It is what it is ..
Haha I think we can admit that all relationships with a luxury brand is somewhat abusive
I never found shopping so stressful as when I start started looking for Chanel classic bags. But hopefully Amy won't regret any of her sales.Honestly I don't think I ever watched her videos and thought she only got so and so bag in order to make a video on it without actually wanting the bag at least a little. I guess she could be doing that but only she knows... and I do think she's lucky that she has a following she can easily sell her bags to. I watch mostly for entertainment and eye candy and maybe research. As you said, there are very few people who can live that way anyway, so there's no reason to try to keep up or compare "collections". Personally I like watching Amy's channel because she buys all this stuff I would never wear so it's cool to see how it'd be style lol. Plus this way I can live through her Hermes journey without doing it myself haha.
It is all about hauls or drama on youtube ! These are the most watched videos unfortunately
Just like hello cat walk city posting on insta and youtube about Chanel price increases and yet still buys them. So stressful to watch. Like stop talking about the price increase when you gonna buy it. I personally stopped complaining about things like this. If I can't afford it, I won't buy it. But chanel or lv isn't gonna budge just because I find them expensive. And I won't stress people around me by always talking about price increases of these bags.
100% agreed, CWC is super annoying
she will to get some views and soon "oh! No! it didn't work and it is going on Chopping board "
She's gonna do the math infront of us too. Lol
