I will say go get it!! If it is discontinued, and you find it and in great pre-loved condition, its really the best feeling you get! Just be sure, as I assume that most people on this forum UHG (Uber Holy Grail) is a Birkin or a Kelly, the process of getting one, is so hard (going through it now as we speak) and I put it to a close friend of mine, sleeping with the professor and getting nothing out of it, or a one sided relationship where you do all the giving, and get nothing in return, that is sort of like you trying to find that discontinued HG item of yours, and once you find it, well that is the professor, or the partner giving something back to you, and well it would be stupid if you didn't take, so I say GO FOR IT SISTER!!!
