I have a chance to purchase a 10 year old medium Classic flap, which would be my first CF, in caviar leather w/silver hw, beige clair, great condition. It does have the wrinkling/crease across the front of the bag, but isn’t visible when the bag is closed. Seller is asking $5k. Is this a fair price or should I keep looking? Thanks for any and all responses!

post a photo of the crease.
When the quilts are dented or creased, you can't fluff it up or fix it. One of my jumbos has two deflated quilts on the back bottom corners (purchased straight from chanel store back in 2012. It was my second purchase)..i regret not exchanging it to this day but I'm thankful it's only on the back. Front creases even if it's covered by the flap would be a deal breaker for me because I'm assuming when you open it, you can see it.
Don't settle.
5k is alot to spend on a purse that it not fixable or obvious (like in the front).
Good luck on your first purse. Make sure you have no doubts. I buy from store and preloved and what I've learned is that if you have any reservations (to the point where you're posting on here asking us) , you probably shouldn't get it. If you love it, you'd jump on it with fear it would be gone if you didn't.

I personally wouldn't pay 5k for that because it's not a good deal. It's 10 years old and the bag is considered ok condition at best, not excellent and with less than 2k more you can buy brand new or a few hundreds more and you can buy a better preloved bag.
I agree and will pass on this one. Thanks for your reply.
I’ve decided not to buy the bag. You really gave me pause for thought, and helped with my decision. Thanks for the advice.
Good decision. Keep looking and be patient. You already have the funds so hold on to them and don't settle until you find something you're going to be happy with. Good luck!
