It’s the BEST. I think it helps that my favorite styles don’t seem to be the popular ones.

Also I’m pretty accepting of flaws…I feel that since I myself show the ravages of time, it’s only right my accessories match.
I'm the same way about flaws. I have a high tolerance for them. I have bought a lot of very well-used bags, and I'm very happy with them.

I like buying used bags as I don't have to worry about getting that first scratch or stain. There are some things that bother me though. With my latest bag, even though I really like it, I keep wondering how much more beautiful it must have been before the color faded.

I KNOW how much prettier I used to be, and I don’t even have the advantage of costing $130 now vs $1300 then!

I hear you. Things like that can bug me, if I feel I’ve overpaid. I have low tolerance for undisclosed flaws which I didn’t take into account when deciding to spend the money. That same ink city I returned for being unjuicy and faded probably could have been a happy purchase if I knew in advance what I was signing up for and I’d spent 1/2 - 1/3 of the $675 price.

The main reason I kept it was that I was tired of waiting. I love my other mini pompon and had been wanting a purple Bal. I felt the chances of finding another ultraviolet in less faded condition for a similar price in a style I like weren't very good. If the photos had been accurate I probably would have still bought it but I wouldn't have been disappointed.

It’s ALL about the disclosure for me, too. Though I’ll gamble for less than $100.
