That’s true. I am probably too ambitious/crazy to say no more bags for me this year (since I bought 2 already this year, bad bad Iamminda) — for the rest of this year, only allow myself 1 SLG (a premier one that I have been wanting for awhile). But realistically, I should just go a month at a time — so I vow no bags for me in March. Or maybe no more bags till BD/Anniv this summer. That’s the best I can do.

I've been pretty good. I bought a vintage bag at a flea market last weekend, but really how could I pass up a red pre-creed (that means really really old) bag for $12?

I've decided to try to find a used Bottega Veneta at an affordable price before I take the plunge to drop $3000+ on one, so I've been looking on ebay. There aren't very many I really like in my price range. Apparently BV doesn't have good resale value.

I bought a keychain from FOS, that's all.

Is anyone else just sick and tired of these "sales"? For one thing, unless you pounce on the site as soon as it opens, people (resellers?) grab most of the good stuff. And what's with the random lockouts? I've bought some items over the past few years, certainly haven't overbought, and I've been locked out of the past few sales. Why should I have to set up a new email account or stand on my head or whatever to get into the sale? Is it really a good marketing practice to make it difficult/impossible for customers to buy? Why not have a permanent sale site (as Dooney does)? Why all the drama? Sorry, wrong thread. I'll move my rant.

They sound pretty. Not weird at all — going back many years, I have a tote and nylon bag that I use exclusively for extended doctor/hospital visits. In addition to germs, I feel there are some negative memories/association with those bags so I rather not use them otherwise (now maybe that is weird or overly sensitive, lol).

Not weird at all to me! I had to give away a lovely Cole Haan bag I was carrying when my dad was hospitalized and then passed away. I couldn't look at it without getting very emotional. I gave it to a dear friend who lives in another country.

You have been pretty good generally over the years on ban island (hurray for whateve). Congrats on the new keychain. Yep, BV and Bal definitely don’t have good resale value. And actually some LVs and some CCs (and probably other brands too) don’t either.

It's ok. I only bought 3 items last sale. 2 reserve and one outlet item. Not like I got 5 leather goodies. The sale before that I bought a coat. No leather goods. So I don't understand what disqualified me to purchase from this sale but whatever. Had anyone been able to order from every FOS event?

A few years ago, I was afraid this would happen to me. I was buying a lot, and returning a lot. A lot of people were getting locked out then. I rarely buy anything now, mostly because everything I want is sold out by the time I get on. Once you get locked out, I don't know if you ever get back in. I would probably create a new account.
