I can't speak to how competitive a mini roulis is bc Ive never asked. $9500 + 6/7 months of shopping would still not quite get there for a QB. I never asked for a non-qb so I can't speak to whether that is abnormal or not in a competitive location. But the fact that you told your SA you don't like bucket bags and they keep on giving you a pico kind of annoys me. I personally wouldn't enjoy shopping there just for the fact that my SA is not paying attention esp if its been multiple offers. Feels almost like they couldn't sell it and is giving me the leftovers.

How often would you be able to pop in to Vegas? Geez such a hard call. All that time and effort. I'd hate to waste it. Maybe try to have a conversation with your SA about it? Let her know how you feel and ask her how disappointed you were with the roulis situation. If the conversation is positive and ends in a roulis pretty quickly then stick it out but if your SA is unresponsive or unmoved then move on?
And that’s exactly how I’m feeling: at this point I’m not expecting a QB (though I of course included options in my longer term wish list) and would be very happy to receive one of the non-QB options on my list but to feel like she doesn’t seem to pay enough attention to the conversations we’ve had to remember I’m not interested is really frustrating. Like, thank you for thinking of me but…not? Lol. That, plus some recent comments have made me hesitant to spend anything further which is what brought me here.

Thankfully, Vegas is only about a 2.5 hour flight and we tend to be down there once a quarter on average.

I appreciate you taking the time to chime in. I figure we already have our trip booked for this month and I’ll put some feelers out and see where it takes me :smile:
 
That I’m not sure, I only know that Pico is a popular bag
The last pico offer was a little while back at this point and I know she sold it same day from when I declined. However, I’m of the mindset that if I’m offered a bag that I’m not interested in, I’d rather leave it at the store for someone who (hopefully) really loves it and is able to buy it at retail. Thanks for taking the time to give me some food for thought though!

Doesn’t hurt to start a new profile under your husband and see where it goes. You’re already there, might as well start paving the way if your conversation with your SA doesn’t pan out. Plus they have different stock so it’s always fun to shop different stores and get unique items.

I wonder if they’ll be able to see you’re from the same household. I suppose if email and phone are different and no physical address is given they may not be able to see your history at your home store?

Yeah, my only thought there is his account was potentially converted to a joint account for the both of us? So I’m not entirely sure. At the end of the day, I’m just telling myself that it’s not that deep and these are all wants and not needs :lol:

True. It really ain’t that deep. Well then if I were you I’d just go shop and see what happens. See how the stock is and how your experience is and hopefully find an SA you vibe with.

And if you like the person maybe at the end of the visit just tell the SA you plan on changing to vegas as your home store.

I’m from Canada and LV Crystals is my home store. My SA has a lot of Canadian clients and she has never once told me “you should shop in Canada”. I never brought up changing my home store, it was her who suggested I come back between Dec-Feb for the “best stock”. I think it depends on the relationship you build. I’m picking up my second QB from her this weekend and you do have to fly there within 10-15 days to pick it up.
Wow, that's awesome---is it your 2nd QB from her in just these first 5 or months of 2023? Or your 2nd QB with her over a set number of years?

My bad, sorry I wasn’t clear! 2nd QB from her since first shopping with her back in May of 2022. I shopped once in May 2022, got a QB that day. Went back in February 2023 and she offered a KP, but I wasn’t interested. This will be my third trip down to pick up a B30.

wow, so only 2 purchases/shopping trips with her, and got offered a QB each time? That's amazing :wtf::tup:
 
Would anyone kindly share their thoughts/experiences with the spend ratio for a mini kelly & K25 at the Vegas store? Is it higher than for a Constance or B25? I'm just trying to get a general idea..I know these sizes are competitive! Thank you in advance.1♥️

My spend wasn’t high at all. First trip with her: A single twilly, Rodeo PM, and a very basic Arceau 40MM watch in blue alligator strap for my husband (I think this was the $3.5k USD version). Second trip with her: 3 pairs of shoes (Chypre sandals, Orans, and Oz mules), Pegasus PM, a twilly, 2 Calvi card holders, a men’s belt, and a Nantucket watch with metal band. I also picked up a Picotin 22 in May and GP30 in Feb.

Oh ok...so are you considering the Picotin and the GP as the "quota bags" you were offered?

If so, I feel much better...haha.
