Not worth it, IMO. It looks fine to me.

Hi fellow TPFers! I came across this preloved Capucines PM in mint condition at a good price. However my only concern is that there seems to be slight sagging/slouch on the front and sides. The seller told me it was because the bag was not stored with stuffing, and the heavy top has caused this creasing, which should go away with regular use. Is this true? Should I be worried about it at all? The price is attractive but I do not want to compromise if this loss of structure is permanent. Appreciate some advice from experienced owners! Many thanks!!

I just checked my adjustable strap and the clips do not seem to be overly yellow to me. I bought it to use with my Croisette Chain Wallet in DA and it matches the hardware perfectly. Also, don’t notice my leather loop thing to be super loose.
However, I recently received a Palm Springs mini and the hardware on those straps were definitely more yellow than the metal strap loops on the bag. Not enough to bother me though that I would consider returning.

Agreed with @mrsinsyder. I have an MM, and that is just how it begins to look over time. I store mine carefully and even rotate it in storage, which helps, but that's just the nature of the bag. My BB on the other hand has zero slouch.
This is not a good stamp
Many people overreact or expect more than what can be done with the old-school tool Vuitton uses, but this is not a case like that. This stamp is off.
If it is just a little glue residue (that is very common) that got dirty, then it can be wiped off with a damp cloth, or an alcohol-free wipe. But if it stays on, return it.
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried a damp, slightly soapy cloth and they're still there, so I suppose back it goes. Is LV currently accepting returns in-store at this time / does one need to initiate a return online first for in-store return if they are?
This has been seen on quite a few Escale pieces, it’s easily wiped away. Nothing to worry about!
It’s around $2800 and does come with shoulder strap too. Bag was made in 2018.
Can’t help but noticed how much better the one listed on Fashionphile looks (https://www.fashionphile.com/louis-vuitton-taurillon-capucines-pm-galet-512324) but it’s a lot more expensive! I guess if all PM will eventually show slouch regardless of how well they are taken care of then it may not be too bad....
