This happened to me recently. A bit too high of a price for my willing to pay. Don’t get me wrong, I paid more for other bags but they were in better condition. So, I asked for more pics to see the real condition of corners, upper edges, etc, to see if it‘s really worth that price. No response for weeks. I submitted 2 offers, one lower, one higher, both expired. A couple of days ago I see PM showing she’s been active again so I submitted again an offer (the high one I submitted before) and… nothing. At least a counter!
i know she said in the description highly coveted, etc, but it’s been sitting there for many months (at least 5-6). I even tagged her saying that I need to decide among very few and very soon and still nothing. So, as you said, my interest cooled and I ended up buying another one (very similar) from a reputable consignment website and that is it. Her loss, tbh. For only 9-10% of the price she did not even counter…. I don’t get it. And since her pics were not as good and clear as the others on the website I finally ordered from, I think I chose the safer situation.
