I have come to report that i have FAILED miserably in my attempt to stop buying bags. I've bought FOUR in the last week. Shame on me, but i'm not sorry at all.
Only one was Coach; a vintage (not quite sure of the offical name) feedsack large duffel #9085. Found on on ebay, bid, but was outbid in the last seconds. Darn. And most others I saw were way more than I was willing to pay. Stumbled across one on TRR of all places and now its mine!

But, I've got two other black vintage Coaches I can sell to hopefully pay for this one. One is a Patricia's legacy, which needs the finishing touches on its rehab, and the other i literally just bought but decided is too small, 9806 the slim equestrian.

I think I seriously need professional help.

Oh No, four purchases in one week! Don’t be too hard on yourself —just try harder. We all slip up on our ban every now and then. Selling bags to buy more bags — that’s something I have been/am guilty of it, not a good thing :(. Good luck.

Did you see the Tradesy price increase? Now I'm going to lose even more on some of mine if they ever sell.

Yep. It pissed me off a bit :(. But what choice do I have? I sold a few things to FP (the ones that I was getting ridiculous offers on and that were “reasonable”) but they gave me a couple of terrible quotes. I like buying from Tradesy because they allow returns unlike a lot of items on EB

Can't y'all pull your items off of tradesy? Or is it a contract once you list you can't remove them? @whateve @Iamminda

Yes, we can pull them off any time. We don't have to sell there, but I feel it is safer than ebay. On ebay, returns come back to me, on tradesy, they take care of it. Also Tradesy has a shipping label at a flat cost of $10.50, and for some items, that saves me a lot of money.

So... I went to Macy’s to check out the snoopy stuff and saw a bunch of Mercer’s on sale for 40%. I saw all the metallic stuff under the sale, and again, LT’s mercer wasn’t there but the bigger plain purple one was there. Somehow Charlie Brown came home with me.

Do bag charms count? [emoji16]

The Snoopy launch makes no sense. That charm is not online at Macy's but showed up at a couple of other sites--zappos and lord and taylor. So the fact they had it in a store makes this whole launch even weirder. And Coach is being odd with the whole thing... you have to have a SA or know the item number to have Coach help you get the items. And one item I called about today was "sold out" per Coach, but suddenly appeared on the Macy's website. Why they can't just make all of the items available in one place or in all places is beyond me. Many have to order from various places to find the pieces they want.

Very true. Are they doing it to see how it goes? Like the Keith Haring stuff? But at least those were just at the outlet. These are on basically every store that sells Coach.... except Coah

Yep, like whateve said, I feel safer on T because the buyer can’t return item to you unless it is not as described/fake etc. The buyer can return to T within 4 days if they don’t like it or change their mind (in this case, the item will be relisted in T’s closet and you still get your earnings). That’s why I often buy from Tradesy because I can return it for site credit. I think T’s commission (about 20%) is steep compare to EB? My beef is that they said the increase in commission is for all the stuff they do for the sellers (new tech, new stuff, etc) but frankly I think they do nothing to help my items sell :(
