I just received a Pale Pink Balenciaga Purse. I aksed a lot of questions of the buyer and she sent me all the pictures I requested. The seller is very sweet so that adds to my disappointment. When I opened the dust bag, my heart dropped. The purse appears dirty and washed out. I expected some darkening on the handles, but the handles are darker than I expected and seem to be stretched out. The purse was described as "very good" condition, but I would describe it as "fair" if not lower.
My dilema, is what I should do? I don't want to overreact and I know that descriptions can be subjective. The pictures that I recevieved did not depict these issues well. She did send me a picture of the handles, but it looks different and darker in person. Also, the color seemed to photograph better than it appears IRL. In person it looks dirty and washed out. I'm not sure if that's just how the color wears or if the description was off.
I don't want to be cast as a buyer with "buyers remorse", I just really dont think I would wear the bag in this condition. I also don't want to be pegged as a buyer that is making things up in order to "scam". I truly am disappointed with the bag. Maybe I can take it LMB, but to be honest, I'm not sure how much can be done. I have also considered reselling it, but do not think I can consciously ask for the same amount I paid. I think I would have to sell it at a loss because of the condition. Any suggestions?
