My Hamilton NS in black with silver hardware finally arrived. The pics really don't do it justice. It is really a beautiful purse.

I see why pebbled was discontinued! Lol. Been trying to sell one forever now, but nobody wants it. Everyone has always preferred saffiano on this style it seems.

I don't think its just that version of Hamilton... I've been trying to sell two different styles of MK bags on Ebay for over two weeks now. I've never had my bags last this long
They are in excellent shape, both at prices I consider very reasonable and they are listed as open to best offers. I've had nothing but super low-ball offers.

The resell value for MK is very low now, even in pristine condition. There are lots of sales. The market is saturated. There are multiple places to buy/ sell pre owned bags. It's a buyers market. This is the reason that I'm attempting to slow down on so many purchases and really think about if a bag has a lasting place in my collection before purchase....![]()

Unfortunately, buying bags with resale in mind is a sticky wicket.. secondary markets are fickle.This is exactly what I was afraid of.
I also will be double guessing any future MK purchases. It made me so nervous the first time I bought an MK bag because of the price.
I've always purchased them during a good sale and it comforted me knowing I could get a good part of my cost back if I kept them in great shape. :rain:

Even Premier brands can struggle with over saturation... contemporary ones even more so. (yes, i know MK has a premier line too lol but for sake of the forum i am fairly sure we are speaking of the contemporary lines)
I understand it completely [emoji6] Just was surprised I guess.
I go through phases where I seem to buy a few, then go down to a few. And I almost always sell one if I want another. I've always been that way [emoji12] I don't like extra things setting around.
Never had a real problem selling before.... I've sold everything from my Target brand bags to Vera Bradley, Ju Ju Be to Michael Kors.
I keep them nice and price them nicely and usually they're gone.
For the price that some bags retail for I don't feel like it's unrealistic to buy certain brands over others based on them holding their value. And I get 100% that some will and some won't. But with the way I move from one style/color to the next their resale value plays a lot into what I purchase. [emoji4]
Was it the traveler that you're trying to sell? I've been using my black soft leather Hamilton for awhile and I just love it!! Much easier for me to carry than the previous electric blue saffiano one I had.
