I usually prefer my bags to be in the best condition as possible... even if there's light, honey patina (I prefer light patina than dark or brand new w/ no patina), I would prefer that the bag is clean and in excellent condition, especially for discontinued items.
So... the most I would pay is around $300-400 above, and if I can't find what I'm looking for at the price I'm willing to pay, then I just keep on searching.
