I saw this photo for The Knitting Club on my Facebook feed showing a blanket pattern. Look at her bag in the chair next to her!

Cool! Thank goodness it was in the chair and not on the ground!
She must be in a "safe" neighborhood to be able to put the bag on a chair behind her and trust it to be safe.
 
I sold a like-new but pre-owned wallet on ebay this weekend for waaaay less than I paid (the dang thing wouldn't sell otherwise and I was just sick of dealing with listing it over and over) and the buyer messages me asking me to make sure I include the care card and tag inside because it's really "important to them." I got a feeling this guy planned on relisting my wallet as NWT once they got it, so I uh conveniently forgot to include the tag inside, oops!

I have had this happen to me before with an LV bag I sold, and included tags and receipt in the sale. THE DAY the buyer got the bag she immediately listed it back on ebay for a higher price. I was really sad about this, and wished I had just kept it instead. I don't know why but I just feel better selling my treasured things to someone who actually wants to use them, not just flip them. Yes, I realize they have the right to do that but it's still icky to me!

Who brings a hand-knitted blanket to an outdoor cafe? Obviously an unrealistic photo shoot.

You aren't going to like my response but I'll post it anyway because I feel safe in saying that although others will no doubt disagree, there are others who will agree with me.

Honestly, if you listed as including the tag and/or if you told the buyer that you had the tag and care card, by "forgetting" to include them puts you at risk of a SNAD dispute. And a SNAD will put a defect on your account, possibly limiting or even preventing you from selling on ebay at all.

Once a buyer makes a purchase, it's theirs to do with as they please. Why would you care whether they use it, resell it or dispose of it? You (presumably) listed it for an amount you felt comfortable selling for and it's no longer yours to dictate what happens to it.

If you don't want a reseller to buy it with the intent of flipping, either don't sell it at all or sell it for a price that makes it impossible for the flipper to make money on.

As you said, you sold it "for waaaay less than I paid (the dang thing wouldn't sell otherwise and I was just sick of dealing with listing it over and over" so now it's sold! Let the new buyer deal with not being able to get rid of it (if that's the case).
 
I'm pulling out my collection this weekend to organize it and label the storage totes better, and snapped this photo of my sweet cat Munchkin being guard kitty :D

And yes, that tote on the top left is full of small bags that need to be organized better, need to dust bag them so they can sit neatly.

This looks like something my cat Remi would do. Of course I would have to remember to keep the totes closed otherwise he'd climb in them immediately, lol
