I have up in the 20's, which is way too many because I have at lest 6 I haven't worn for awhile and probably won't but I just can't get rid of them. The ones I am thinking of are mid line designer(Coach/Cole Hahn)and I find it so frustrating to sell them becuase I keep my bags like new and you never get close to what they are worth. I've always done resale shops maybe I should try ebay? I also keep bags becuase they come with nice memories(ex: the first Gucci my DH gave me when we had no money).
I'm now down to 25!
My SO's mother very happily accepted two of my unwanted bags tonight!
You sound EXACTLY like me, and what you said is totally my goal! That's the thing with me too...it wasn't just about rotating bags, sometimes I would, too, buy bags just for the sake of collecting, with no intention of ever using some of them. I've purchased many bags over the years that I thought were unattractive, but only bought them because the price was great! As I said in a previous post, buying a normally $1k designer bag for $500 ISN'T really a bargain if it's just sitting in the closet, unused...which I'm now starting to realize...
Sometimes I DO buy bags for the SOLE reason of selling them on eBay. I DO alot of reselling, which is mostly how I fund my bag habit! Only problem is, sometimes I'll buy a bag with all intentions of selling it, and then at last minute I'll end up keeping it. It's very hard for me to part with bags.
I AM making some progress, though... I just sold my large CC Skye Bardot bag (NWT-never worn!), my vintage Dior bags (never used!), my Chloe Bay Satchel (never used!), and my MJ Python Karen bag (for only $500...*sob*). Today xxxxxxxx

I've got 24 but I only use 13 of them. My all-time favourite has to be my Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 30.

Good luck!
Well, at least you've sold a few of your bags! I have only sold one on eBay and gave away 6 total (that I was tired of trying to sell at super reasonable prices) to my mother, my brother's girlfriend, a co-worker, and SO's mother. The one bag I sold on eBay was just enough to fund all the darn fees accummulated from relisting the same several items. Ugh. So, I basically got nothing back, lol. However, I know that I'm not going to just give away two of the bags that I'm having an equally hard time selling on the eBay for their prices because they're on the pricier side. It's funny though because if I sell them for the offered prices of 50% and 75% of what I paid for them respectively, I plan to use them first for a while and baby them so that they still will look in perfect condition to be sold. Even though I don't enjoy them, this is just so I get what I perceive to be fair prices!
I want to avoid having to sell like this in the future completely when I'm done! It's way too stressful, risky, time-consuming, and you're often at a money loss. I paid bargain prices for nearly all my bags too!

I'm doing the same thing... selling some (majority I mean) of my bags. Parting with the first bag was the hardest but it gets better with each bag I sell. My husband and I had a deal that I can't buy a new bag until I cut down to 20-30 bags. I have already sold 6 so far, and have still a long way to go. Tsk Tsk... 150+++ is pretty big number so good luck to me. Lol.
