Same here (selling a bag I never thought I'd sell)!!

I've been buying and selling with TRR almost 10 years now....so far, knock on wood, I haven't had any issues.

Yeah, not worth selling RM and the likes on that platform.

At the end of the day, I just want the constant buying/selling to slow down and just enjoy the rest of what I have....AKA purse peace!!

BTW, another bag I recently fell in love with is my SW Elisha!

Good luck with your downsizing journey!!🤞🏻🙌🏻

I don't think purse peace will ever happen with me unless I have a sudden loss of interest in bags.

I am selling a bag that I never thought I'd sell, but my policy these days is if I don't use it, then it needs to go.

I also need to send some bags to TRR. I've never had trouble with them but every time I send them stuff, I can't help but think this will be the time when they lose my stuff. Yes! For the less expensive bags, their cut is brutal. I consigned a MAM with them and I think I got eight bucks from it. I would have made more money if I'd donated it and reported it on my return!

Didn't someone here send them some bags that were lost a while ago?

I am feeling the same, there are some RMs I just don't use. I have a little bit of seller's remorse with a Seafoam mini nikki and a black haze MAM. I REALLY want to use that seafoam mini nikki! It was so perfect!
The RMs I have I will keep, except for one, but I did put them in a cabinet so next time I see them in a few months I will love them again... Hopefully. I think it is absolutely OK to keep bags just to look at them. I mean I never hear people who collect other things feeling like they have to sell their baseball cards or stamps, cars or watches. There is a whole community of men who collect Apple watch bands and they have hundreds of them! They don't feel guilty, or whatever this feeling is.
So I have maybe one more to sell but keeping my emerald MAM, tomato MAM, and dark grey MAM even though they don't get a lot of use.
Sorry I wrote so much!

I think your answer was perfect. There are just some bags that need to be kept.

I'm feeling the I-have-too-many-bags itch again. I have a number of bags that are absolutely beautiful, like works of art, but are either too impractical or their style just doesn't work on me. For example, the Polene Numero Un. It's a beautiful bag, but it's just so impractical for my needs.

I don't want to hold onto bags I won't use, but then I also want to avoid seller's remorse. (I sold a chocolate FDL-lined MAM a number of years ago and have regretted it ever since.)

Does anyone else have this problem? What have you done to resolve it? Have you kept a bag just because it was so beautiful, even though you've never used it?

I'm at this point, too. I want fewer choices and to get more use out of the bags I love the most. I also want to feel free to continue looking for interesting wishlist bags, and that feeling won't come without some downsizing. It's been surprising to discover which bags I might be ready to let go, and which ones it turns out I can't part with. I wore my wine mini Nikki the other day to confirm that it could go in the "out" pile, only to discover that not only am I keeping it, but now I want the full-sized as well! Two steps forward, one step back ...

I do the same thing usually, take it out to make sure, then want to keep it. I just went through this with Hayden Harnett, and instead of selling any, not only did I keep them, I bought one more!

I miss these old celeb photo's. They were the best!!

They were, and I liked them because so many were using contemporary bags. Now, even here,(purseblog articles) the premier designers get most of the attention. Most people don't want to spend more than 500 on a bag, even 100 is ridiculous to them. It's like nobody actually goes outside? Life isn't YouTube, Ticktock, and Instagram for most of us.

Even if I buy a premier designer bag, it's always second hand vintage!! I would never pay those crazy over inflated prices (can't afford it anyway)!
