I've been looking for this bag (used) forever. I was debating on whether I should just eat the cost of buying a new one - until I saw one posted on the marketplace today. Her listed price is 1325 which is high considering it's $1650 new after taxes. There was another one listed last month for 1100 which seemed fair. She's willing to negotiate. Ideally, I'd like to spend $1000. What's a fair offer? How much would you pay? Thanks in advance.
How much should I pay for a used Gucci Soho Disco Bag?

Offer 20% less, so maybe $1050 or so, then see what she comes back with. If you have to pay any more than that, personally I’d just buy a new one.
Actually for that kind of money, unless you're in dire straights right now (and in which case perhaps don't buy a bag) I'd just wait and buy a new one when this awful situation is over as the year's guarantee will only apply to the initial buyer. Not worth it IMO.
I would buy new and the reason is that this particular bag is highly counterfeited. I wouldn’t want to take the risk of buying a fake.
I wouldn't buy pre-loved unless there was a significant saving (and I'm talking 40%), or the style is no longer made, which means I can't buy it new.
I'd save the extra and buy from the store once it re-opens. Then, if you have any problems you are always covered by Gucci's customer care. Plus, you're then buying the piece of mind of an authentic bag, like @fabuleux said above.

That is interesting. I guess I never thought of anyone trying to counterfeit this bag but I guess people try to replicate all bags if it’s popular. Now I’m curious as to what a counterfeit soho looks like.
I agree with those that said try to buy new if you can. I have nothing again buying pre-loved but I don’t do it out of fear of buying a fake. I like to have a peaceful mind about my bags. I also like to be the only owner but if you are sure it’s authentic do what @Diamondbirdie said. Make sure you get it authenticated too. What is their return policy?
Hi, I have the Soho disco and you won't regret getting this because it's so roomy and this design is a classic. But preloved ones in my country are going as low as S$600-$800 so $1k Canadian is still kinda steep. I'd suggest to go get one from the store unless you can get a better discount! Good luck
Yeah, I've been hearing that a lot. That's a big reason why I wanted to buy new, from a reputable luxury consignment store or at least from someone locally (ie. not on eBay.) On her listing, she's offering third party authentication confirmation and a copy of the receipt by email. Does that make it any better or should I still just stick with paying the 1670 for new?
I think it’s worth buying directly from Gucci @ that price. I purchased both a black and a rose beige a few years back in the UK, prior to the major price increase that happened plus got a VAT refund. I’m also located in Canada and have been thinking about purchasing it in red too, even though the price is significantly more. It’s a great bag, I probably use my black one 50% of the time I’m using a crossbody and have even tossed it into a larger tote for any quick errands or post-work plans.
Hi everyone, would love some advice as I would also like to purchase a used disco soho. I'm new to the luxury bag world and have a hard time swallow the brand new price for this bag, given it has been around for a while. Someone is selling theirs, with receipt, box, bag, for $1000can which I think is fair. But they don't have the authentication card. Would love your thoughts!
Personally I'd not want to pay more than 50% of the new price for something second hand and used. I get some bags can hold their value to an extent but for me I'm not really big on the used market for reasons being that you can't guarantee authenticity and the prices some people ask isn't a huge amount from a brand new product which will have authenticity guaranteed, warranty to some extent and just the fact you know where its been.
But I am someone who doesn't buy used anything apart from houses. So some of the prices people charge for old used things is gobsmacking. If I can't afford new, I save more or I leave it and find something else and move on. Second hand isn't an option for me so $1k on a second hand one (to me) is huge. I bought mine for $850 AUD new a couple of years back from a store and its now $1600+ AUD new. I'd not dream of spending more than I paid new for second hand. For me its worth the extra few hundred. Maybe if it was $500 I'd say go for it if you are happy with second hand but not for $1k, but thats me.
And an authentication card means nothing, you can stick that with a fake along with receipts and box/bag... none of it guarantees its real. Seen many people buy second hand bags that come with real receipts and auth cards the person has bought themselves a real one then a fake to resell with all the paperwork. Easy to do and have seen it done often.

I did a quick search and saw SSENSE have both the black and rose beige (tan) in stock, the black is listed at $1455 and the rose beige at $1560 (same as Gucci) if anyone’s looking! There’s also 24S - they had the Soho Disco last year as well for under $1200 CAD, my friend purchased and only had to pay taxes for her province & shipping was free. I recently saw the 1955 Horsebit Shoulder Bag there for $2677 CAD whereas it’s $3500 CAD at Gucci.
I actually pulled the trigger on the red last summer, completing my Soho Disco trifecta with all 3 classic colour ways. Initially I’d purchased from Gucci but saw SSENSE had the bag (and a pair of sneakers I’d purchased) at a significantly lower price-point so I returned and purchased from their website.
At the time the bag came to approx. $1150 CAD & the sneakers were approx. $625 CAD, including taxes therefore I saved over $750, but there was also a price increase at Gucci in June & almost immediately SSENSE also increased prices to match so I was very lucky.
