so ink would be a good color choice? it might go up in value? i have terrible luck with my bags decreasing in value a lot and i can't afford to lose a lot of money. i really like the color, the only downside is i think it might be too big on short me. anyone know how the twiggy compares in size to a baby paddy?
IMHO it's important to remember that these bags are not actual investments. So buy a color you love, wear it as often as you like and don't count on getting your money back on it!
Hi gymangel,
It's great that a lot of our bags do have a resale value, but you can't ever count on that remaining the case. That being said, most average bags seem to sell at no more than a 25% discount off the retail as long as the bag is kept in good condition with little darkening of the handles. So if you buy a First for about $1000, you should be able to sell it later for at least $750. And if you happen to buy a bag in a color that more people want later, you might be able to get back the full $1000. Occasionaly someone gets more than they paid, but that's rare in the overall scheme of things.

But as my brother likes to say...Man is not a rational animal; man is a rationalizing animal.
