I've been eyeing all types of BVs for my very own ever since my mother's orange ball bag caught my fancy; however, the price has been a large deterrent since my most expensive handbag to date is only ~$250.
I impulsively tried Bluefly, but that was a bust (as described in a previous post).
At one point, I made a low bid on an ebay auction, thinking that I was willing to take the risk on the seller for that low of a price. I promptly forgot about it, assuming that I wouldn't get it, but I won! The stamped logo and ID tag look good, the leather feels/smells the same as the small chevre hobo that I fondled in the BV store, and it's in like new condition. Oh, and the price? $125! It's probably several years old or a sample piece, but for the price, I'm not complaining!
(Sorry for the fuzzy pic.)
