YES, I completely agree with ya if it's a seller who's trying to make a living/business with bags (which in my opinion is not such a great job... more like a hobby I suppose), then good service of course is a criteria. However, I do believe that most authentic LV sellers are not selling their bags everyday, more like once a few months. Or even if it's not LV products, most sellers sell items just to rid of profitable "garbage" straying around in their house.
Service is not that much of a big deal to me, maybe it's because I'm Asian, and most Asians will agree with me that China, Singapore (for eg) do not offer the same service that the Western countries live up to. When i'm in Canada, I expect excellent service when I go to luxury boutiques and most of the time, I will get it (otherwise, the manager will get a load of :censor: ) haha. However, when I go back to visit China, I'm way more relaxed...sometimes SAs would yell at me (just because I was browsing and did not buy anything!) and what do I do? I laugh it off! If I get bad service, then that store/person won't get a sale from me and look who's laughing in the end? lol
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that IT DEPENDS on which country you're in, who and where you are buying from.
