Since you often drop by the store, try to find an SA that seems friendly and that you have a rapport with and talk to her/him about the products. Ask questions about leather, color, etc... even if you don't get the bag, you will get a lot of interesting information. Perhaps in the process of learning about Hermes, a little something will pique your interest. In any case, the next time you come back, you can approach the same SA and he/she will likely remember you (they're really great at remembering names). That's how you build a relationship with the SA. It's not all about throwing money at them - many of us aren't swimming in so much money that we can waste it on bags and things we don't want. A lot were just lucky enough to find an Associate that we like and who seem to like us (regardless of how much we spend).

woww nice
Congratulations!! You must be beyond excited!!! I hope we get to see it.My search is over!!! Just purchased 35cm Togo Sanguine Birkin in Montreal!!!!!!
Is that why you're still waiting? Don't call it a bribe, it's appreciation, like red envelope. You tip the concierge when they get you a table, you tip the waiter if he provide good service, you tip the Maitre D for attention. I have 6 birkins and 4 kellys, how many do you have? Otherwise, buy several things (that's my first relationship with my SA) and wait list for one, but they'll call you next week with a "new shipment".
You asked for advise, I'm just helping...

Uh, last time I checked, Hermes bags were made to be sold. It should not be necessary to bribe a sales associate in order to purchase one. I so hope this is a joke.
