^ It's so shiny and pretty!
I've gotten so I feel like a magpie...."oh pretty! shiny! want!" I haven't been using the blueberry carryall I have so there's no reason to buy another one.
^Me too. I've become a sucker for anything that shimmers when I *never* used to be that way. I was just searching glitter nailpolishes. wtf?! I don't know what's wrong with me.
fleur, i think you were asking about the tron hobo? i saw it during my unfortunate visit to the greenpoint store. it's quite nice. like nikki said, it does sit higher than the havana and wider. i really liked it but, the strap didn't work for me. (i love hobos but find that some straps slip off my shoulder if they're too flat.)
Thanks for the update, sacc! I'm so sorry about what happened to you there. That was just wrong. I think I'll have to pass on the hobo then (unless it goes on major major discount). I actually don't have the "flat straps falling off the shoulder" problem...mine is more "rolled double straps fall off"....but I think I'll just save my monies for a pretty havana. I like the way the Havana hangs lower. Thank you again! 
Whoa, good thinking LU! I tried it with the Castor Clutch and was surprised it worked since the Clutch is on sale.
Not to change the subject but I was just curious. I was looking at stuff on the BON and kept thinking "oooh I want that" "and that too" and "wait, that as well"...but then I smacked myself 
and reminded myself that I didn't need any of that stuff. So my question to you all is....do you all keep a list of "older" HH stuff that you are looking for and that way you know for sure what you want and what would just be an impulse buy?? Or do you just jump on whatever floats your boat that day? I'm trying to prevent myself from making rash decisions and then later thinking "wtf?"
Also, do you all keep your receipts for insurance purposes? Or do you just guess based on retail price? I've always thrown my receipts away after I get my items, just thinking I should probably start saving those...

I think a lot of people have a ISO list of older HH styles. I do a lot of research here before I buy if possible because HH returns are a PITA and there aren't returns with the bonbay. I try to limit my total impulse purchases to lower priced / ultra bargain stuff since I'd have to resell if I don't like it.
I purchase on impulse. That's why I have a Moss Havana, Ginger Havana and ICP Lorca that I have never used. Then I'm too lazy to sell them.
Fleur- I've got a list of oldies that I want & on my list I've got a price written down of how much I'm willing to pay for said item. It is really hard to not impulse buy. I want a bunch of stuff from Bon but then I look at my list and tell myself that I really should save that money for one of the bags on my list. I'd rather be able to pay top dollar for one of the items on my list when they become available than having something I'm unsure about now.
As far as insurance goes. Your talking to the right person. It's what I do for a living. The company I work for does specialized insurance for Jewelry, Body parts, Luxury goods on top of the normal stuff. This might be a bit over the top for you but here is what I do for insurance reasons. I've got a binder with an Inventory list of all the bags/smalls including their purchased value.. I've got a picture of me holding each item (important so insurance companies know you had it in hand) then I keep each receipt or if it was a trade I include a print out of what the retail value is at another site (HH, Bluefly, etc.) with a note of what I thought the approximate trade value was. I keep that in my safe at the bank along with a flashdrive copy of all the pictures & inventory list.
I'd start small and just start keeping your receipts in a folder tucked away in a fireproof safe and keep it as part of your homeowners/renters policy. I wouldn't seek out additional insurance until you've got over 6,000.00 in value.
