Yeah that first sale was a real downer.Excellent point.
(1) No impulse buying
(2) (Hopefully) no sales
(3) Choice of leathers, thread colors, and special accommodations
Moynat used to make special accommodations (without a fee). That sold me on the company. They lost me for a while after the first sale. It sickened me to see bags 25/40/50% off after people on TPF paid full price days or weeks before.
