At what store exactly might he have gotten a new Galleria for under $1000? Keep in mind that the reseller always pays less than what the item's selling for, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make a profit. If you go to Prada.com, Neiman, Bergdorf, etc. you will see what the bag sells for. Yes, there might be some coupons one can apply, occasional sales, etc. But you have to be realistic.I actually think this seller is legit. He would have been called out by now? Also, he says he's a professional reseller and buys from the stores. Probably has connects to take the merch of their hands? He seems legit and I would honestly get the bag!!
Don't buy from Flash sites and 'wholesalers' and 'professional resellers' if the deal seems too good to be true.
