I will speak for myself - I am certainly not jealous that AF successfully made a profit ( that’s if she has sold the bag) from her recent purchase from Hermes FSH. My gripe / irritation is the deception/ lies ( my perception). And no one is collapsing cos of this life goes on and there is more to life than this however when we have a platform for various topics it’s ok for people to comment that’s what they are for!

Before making a judgment you need to listen the two versions. As soon as someone did saw my post she is a reseller, she lies.
Which is not the case. If Hermes offer you your first choose will you declined it? Keep the exact same bag in two différents size ? I don’t think so..

Some gone said sell it to the boutique price I have seen worn/use bag higher then what they paid. I never had it mind to make money on my Hermes bags.

I'm sure there are lots of resellers on this forum. I'm pretty sure Hermes "likes" them to a certain extent. They seem to externally say they are against it, but internally they need them to keep their profits going. I'm sure so many VIPs are actually resellers. My philosophy is the only way to defeat them is DON'T BUY FROM THEM. I also don't sell my H bags ever. I've gotten two Bs from Paris and will cherish them forever. Keep your bags folks, if you aren't using them, that's ok pass them on to a family member or keep them as a collection item, or you may find out a few years down the road that they actually do meet your functional needs. Even bags that I use rarely, I get flutters in my stomach when I take out to appreciate. Don't sell and don't buy second hand or from resellers is my philosophy.

You are so lucky and rich not to sell bags you don't use and keep them in your closet or give them to somebody else.

It’s not the exact same size though is it? There have been people on this forum who got offered a bag but declined it - you still don’t get it! Don’t bother explaining you are making it worst! Like I said it’s your prerogative and that of Hermes to be honest. And my perception of you as a reseller is mine to keep! So let’s end the convo and move on!
You made a fab profit which is a beautiful way to end the year so close this convo and move on.

I was following the Paris trip for Hermes forum in the hopes that I might be able to make a transatlantic trip in December to try and get a bag. in Canada we are limited to 1 quota bag a year! Spend ratios are 2:1/3:1 to get a bag. It would be so nice to live in Europe, try on a daily basis, get a confirmation and show up the next morning and get a bag- which are truly in limited supply due to covid.

I saw all of your posts about the online system and complaints about having to travel from Belgium and using your Mexican phone number etc, then to see that you got a bag and are reselling it for double the price! Don't take the bag if it is not what you want it!

You potentially took away a bag from someone who travelled days to get to Paris and had only a few days to try and get a once in a lifetime bag. I understand if you purchase a bag, use it and hold it for a while and decide it is not right, but to purchase a bag and then decide to sell right before Christmas (likely to a buyer who truly is desperate to have a bag under the tree) for double the price you paid.... yes this does give off reseller vibes.

My first bag I got in Paris was not exactly what I wanted- they rarely are but in my mind most are so ecstatic to even be able to get a bag close to what they were looking for is a win and they would never think of reselling it a month later.

It really makes me sad to see resellers exploit this system as I do think Hermes will have no other choice than to stop the lottery to restrict the resellers. I want to see the system preserved so others can have that experience!

You didn’t read well, complaining about doing Brussels Paris it’s a 1h20 train ride. I enjoy going to Paris for a day.

I was very happy with that bag but was offer it in a 25. I am not gone said no to a 25 considering I will get a neutral in a Kelly 28. Obviously if I wasn’t offer that bag and would have starting wearing would have decline.

Would you keep a birkin 25&30 togo etoupe gold hardware ?
If I was offer in Paris a 25 and receive a call for a 30 would have said is it possible in an other colors.


You think I am a reseller up to you.

Stop justifying you. You don't owe any explanation to anybody. It's your bag, you do what you want with it.

Thank you !
I do yes because I don’t specifically approve peoples how buy a bag to resell it.
As a Hermes lover I know how hard is it to get a bag and it can be frustrating.
I’ve been buying Hermes for years it’s definitely not this sell how will make me profit.

Like I said you don’t owe me or anyone an explanation it’s your prerogative!!! And we are not a panel of judges.. drop the subject and move on. Happy holidays. My perception is mine and mine alone it won’t change and perhaps for some others they will see you as a reseller ( like I do) no matter what you say but that’s life … let’s move on from this.

I wouldn’t take it to heart so much - from the definition attached anyone who has sold an item they purchased either at a profit or loss is considered a reseller by Wikipedia. There you go! Nite nite

I'm sure that nobody ever tried to resell a bag for more than paid.
If people are desperate and want to pay 2 or 3 times the price, it's not the seller's fault.
C'est la loi du marché.

I will ignore what you just wrote or what I just read. Did the pricing get done by witches or by a magical fairy behind the persons back? It’s so unethical to manipulate the system and people - can’t believe what you just wrote !!!
