Hi,
I'm new to tpf and this is my first topic post. A couple of days ago I traded a few items to try something new. The Chloé Marcie large bag in lizard. It has all the tags, authenticity card, holograms both match, dust bag, care booklet, everything is fabulous. With one exception. She bought it at one of those last chance sales and as you know they take that black marker and go right through where it says Chloé on the tag inside. I, as a meticulous vintage restorer pulled out my magic trick bag and managed to lift most of the marker off of it. Here's my problem, I thought I would try something different then my usual vintage Louis, Gucci and Chanel and this bag does not fit my style at all. Now I don't know what to do with it. I know it's sold out everywhere, but with the marker blemish is it even worth value anymore? I know I am going to take a loss with this, but I'm on day two of looking at this fantastic bag and I absolutely can't stand it. Would anyone know the best route to get rid of it? I don't have an eBay account, so that's out. I am a member of another resale sight but I just don't know what to do with it to recoup some of my losses to a bag that I really love. This is not a for sale post, just looking for advice on what I can do with it. I'll post some pics, it's truly magnificent. But it's out of my comfort zone and I'm sure somebody would appreciate it more than just to sit in my closet. Here are some pics. Am I crazy??
Thanks for any help of what I can do with this beautiful bag that I can't bare to look at anymore
