I'm thinking about it... Afraid I'd lose too much money though between eBay and PayPal fees [emoji53]
which one did you get? I think some colour combinations are more wanted than others. but I have never sold anything on eBay so I don't know about the fees.
nice, I'm eying this combo. but I'm not sure if I really need a second bucket bag.
it shows everyone has a different taste.

it only softens a bit on the top where you open and close the bag. but it's supposed to stay stiff and structured.
if you do not like the stiffness, you should check out the bag in tumbled leather or the canvas version.
I find myself agreeing with several of you. And the prices for the bags on eBay are dropping from what I can see except for the black ones. I love the shape and the color r of the brandy but I took it out a few times and just feel like it's going to look like a mess instead of a bag with a beautiful patina. Amd since they don't accept returns it's either sell at a big loss or have a bag that I don't love. Ugh.
I'm a bit over most of mine too. And yes resale has become terrible. Having trouble offloading a couple of mine 
Seems the appeal is slipping for everyone.
I bought 4 new bags in the last 4 weeks, I was super excited to receive each one because they were not more of the same bucket again!!

You aren't the only one
Just curious, what about the bag is letting you down?
It may sound strange, but the creaking/squeaking really bugs me. Also, I thought it would be somewhat stiff, but not as stiff as it is. It doesn't feel like a leather bag to me, very hard. I usually get a bag and can't wait to use it. I was very excited for this, but when it came I didn't even put my stuff in it. I don't know, just kind of let down about the whole thing.
I guess many people got caught up in the hype and didn't really research the bags. The stiffness of the leather is appealing to those that like a structured bag that maintains the structure. Sorry you are not happy with yours.
I didn't get caught up in the hype and have been watching this bag since it first came out. I knew it would be structured. I definitely researched it a lot, watched a lot of videos on you tube even. I normally wouldn't mind a structured bag one bit, but this is just not as appealing to me in person, especially for the price. I honestly don't even think I would like it in the tumbled leather [emoji17] It's a shame because I wanted this bag for so long and just wish I would love it. It's sad there isn't a return policy, especially because there is no way to see it in person first.
I think a lot of people have this problem.
I was hesitant at first after I received my bucket bag even though I was so sure I would love the bag. so for the first few weeks I was so nervous about scratches, rain etc. that I didn't even took it once out of the house. Since I paid a lot of money I decided to just use the bag and what happened? I started to looooove the bag more and more.
It's now my everyday bag and I don't even care if it's raining outside. The bag makes me happy and I get so many compliments for the bag, even from men.
So may I suggest, start using the bag and hopefully you fall in love with the bag too. Or try to sell it. But just keeping it is probably the worst decision, because you would be always reminded of the "lost" money.
But whatever you decide, take your time and it will be the right decision for you.
