I know it's meant to be a make-up bag, but it is so divine and luscious, I don't care what it's intended use is!! I feel perfectly rockin' out and fab carrying my little utility bag like it was meant to be going out on the town! :p Both of your bags are SUPERB!!! I'm really beginning to feel the need for a Debbie....... I know..... how greedy am I?? ! :rolleyes:

I'm late to join the club... courtesy of the MJ fairy, I have a SP large black tote bag, and a gorgeous Bisque Debbie. If I ever get my hands on a Fluo Sid, that baby will enter the immortal coil with me, it will never leave my side lol.

I wonder if she's lowered her reserve
I know she wanted a pretty ridiculous price for that bag!
Esp. when you compare it to what other Black Siouxie's have been selling for

Yes, I know what you mean! I got a bit worried when I saw that the bidding is over $400 and the reserve is not met...... I sure hope the reserve is not too ridiculous.... I'd love for one of the PFers who has the black Siouxie as their HG be able to win her!!
 
#142
^ Oy that reserve is abominable (is that a word?) and no budging....I invited her to post pics of her 2 other SP bags in this thread (I know I'm a goon). Anyway, I do think I've come to accept that this is my HG.

There I said it! Better change my siggy.

However, with all the insane buying lately and sales and whatnot I can't pull forth anymore $$ from deep within dusty/empty coffers.
 
#143
Yea, I had a feeling
I know someone else had contacted her when the first auction ended, and she wasn't willing to accept anything lower than her reserve. I think she just waited a little while, hoping that she'd get a new round of bidders and maybe someone would be willing to pay her price - I really don't think that's going to happen tho. Her asking price is ridiculous for that particular bag. Sweet Punk or no Sweet Punk!! That really stinks. :tdown::tdown:
 
#144
Agreed but I do sorta see her pt. I mean she did pay retail for 3 SP bags and only used Siouxsie a couple times (although I think there is a scratch on the top flap) and it is a coveted item. She said she would just keep it if no one met the reserve so she must still want it on some level. I even suggested Bonanzle so that a buyer could benefit from the cheaper fees with commensurate pricing.

Oh well....maybe she'll cave and accept whatever it goes for this round? It would still irk me knowing that it has gone for way less.
 
#145
What is her reserve?
I can see her point, too, considering the original price of that bag (that was EXPENSIVE!). You cannot always get an old MJ for less than 800$… especially not such a sought after style.
Still I just found out, for me it has to be the Sid. There you go! I bet I'm the only one.
;)
 
#146
yeah. i think in the end it comes down to whether someone is comfortable losing $$ on reselling a bag or not. some people are okay with it, and others are not. considering these bags did retail for a large sum of $$ i can understand how she'd rather not sell it for a small amount. but man...the siouxie retailed for $2350.....so literally, even 1/4 of retail is still over $500, plus she's gonna end having to give *bay a nice chunk of her profits too, which sucks!

i mean, honestly i completely lucked out on the price i got my siouxie for. i dunno if it was fate or the fact I was die-hard in my attempt to win it, going as far as making offers and literally begging the seller to sell it to me and whining like a baby in the chat threads day after day as i waited until the last day of the auction...i think gals just wanted to shut me up about it. LOL

^ Hmmm...June u have me thinking of a strategy :thinkin: which includes groveling and some whining.

Seriously, I am rather distracted by all the new goodies that have come my way.

This whole thing brings up interesting pts about re-sale and 2nd hand bag market. In fact, sellers have been all over the place w/ offers and their attiudes. Most of my experiences w/ bags, albeit not extensive, have been positive so far.

I recently experienced a very rude seller...........In my book u just never know when someone will buy your stuff or who they talk to so it pays to be nice. I can say I'll never bother w/ that person again no matter what they have.

It's unfortunate b/c this seller is already out one round of fees for listing and now probably another..........

ETA - I should hold my tongue it's up to $760 w/ same bidder who "won" before.

^ well it probably only costs her a few bucks to list....a lil more than normal because she has the reserve...but the FVF they'll charge her are literally around 10% and then the PP fees too add another 4% there-abouts....so in ebay fees if the listing ended for $500....she'd have at least $50 in fees...ebay sucks some major a$$ in that particular way

LOL. well i had some uneccessary drama over a blak debbie and some miscommunication as well as being outbid on like 3 more SP's before i got the siouxie. a sweet PFer had scored the siouxie and it just didn't quite work for her so she decided to list it, but wanted to get the market value for it and not sell it via BIN. lucky for me, i was the market value...but i totally prepared myself for a war over it. in the end, it ended peacefully and i was the only bidder. i was absolutely shocked to say the least...but at this time, the siouxie was the black sheep of the S family and hadn't been well liked here on PF because she doesn't hand nice and straight....safe to say i think that's changed and she's getting the love she deserves :winkiss:

LOL!! I am actually a big fan of groveling and whining when an HG is at stake.....

And....

Wow, I really hope she agrees to sell this time if it does not reach the reserve - - $760 is quite a good price, and not so far off from the reserve. Also hope it's a PFer who wins.
