I was told by an SA that they are switching to a system that is unified and all reservations will be seen per name... that may be how they can try to weed out resellers... but we as experienced buyers we try to get on more than 1 list to increase our chances ...

Yea and also that doesn’t help stop the resellers that use other ppls names which they all do. They work in teams and have like 10 different ppl buying from them. Also, I always get one multiple waitlists unless an SA tells me I am top 3 on the list. The waitlist thing shouldn’t matter as you have to get on multiple waitlists, they just shouldn’t make an actual sale without seeing that persons purchase history
 
Orchmelia on IG is the one I use. There's a whole thread about her in the Chanel Shopping subforum. Be aware that because she doesn't charge a lot, she doesn't really provide the whole "service" aspect. Like you basically tell her what you are looking for, and she'll help you find it. I believe for some bags she might require a deposit that is refundable if she isn't able to find the bag for you. She charges a deposit because I understand a lot of people have asked her to find bags for them and then they back out once she's found it, so this just prevents time wasters. You pay her directly, along with her fee. You should do your own research separate from her, for example on Youtube or Purseforum. She literally just helps you find bags and might answer a few basic questions, but that's it. If you're looking to get good service, you'll probably be disappointed with her, but you get what you pay for (basically a procurement service). I've bought from her several times and it's usually very straightforward, and I get a beautiful bag without having to search for it myself.
Orchmelia always responds to my DMs unlike other personal shoppers, her pricing is much lower than other personal shoppers. Sick of personal shoppers too but because of the scarcity of the stock, i can see how they can take advantage and make it a profitable business

Orchmelia's instagram is gone. I would not buy from that person.
 
I suggest you build a connection with the SA at your preferred Chanel boutique. This is how I get notified of new items I’m looking for and am so grateful for it! If you have purchased something before at the boutique, make sure to get their contact info and keep in touch.

I buy directly from the SA at the chanel boutique . This is so much better than personal shopper or pre-loved. for 100% piece of mind too. I need to know what I’m getting is authentic and no mark up prices from PS. The super fakes are so good nowadays that it is scary. The new bags starting 2021 are microchipped
