Hi Ladies - looking for some advice here.... I recently bought a used Legacy Duffle on eBay. The bag came super fast and was nicely packaged, but it smells like smoke. The listing said from smoke free home so I thought I was safe. I hung it up with the lining hanging outside for a couple of days, hoping it would air out, but today I carried the bag for the first time and it still smells. I contacted the seller and she says she didn't smell anything, but has offered me $20 rebate to have it dry cleaned.
My question: Does dry cleaning actually work? If it doesn't work, do I have any recourse on eBay if a bag isn't as advertised? How do I prove it smells like smoke? I asked several of my students today if they smelled anything and they all agreed it smells smoky. Any advice?
The really crummy part is that I have been banned for 2 years from buying any new (to me) bags because the hubs was out of work for a long time. I finally got a chance to treat myself - this was supposed to be my "Happy new job!" bag. So sad that its stinky
