Regretting selling a rare bag!

[Chrissy14223]

I've sold before but I'm not so happy about my latest decision. I purchased this rare and in impeccable condition bag, used it once and realized Alma BBs are TINY! She's stunning to look at but I probably would only use her for special occasions which are rare these days. So I listed it and sold on a payment plan. I received the down payment and am now wondering how can I possibly get out of selling this! But why, the bag is not very useful to me.... this is quite an internal struggle, can anyone else relate?

I think if you rarely used her, it was still a good idea to sell.

It's been sold, so there's that. The honorable thing is to complete the sale--remember, you don't use it or expect to. It's not a unique item, it's got a very particular and small market, feel good you have a buyer. Adieu.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s that rare, and I think it’s good to let go of stuff you don’t use much

Thanks!

Yes! I have been there! But you sound undecided if you really want to keep it. I have the same bag in mono/silver. If you don’t use it why do you not want to sell it? There is no point keeping it if it’s just stunning to look at and not functional…

Thanks, I know, it isn't logical. I think it's just so pretty and I love it. I know I won't use it much more than a couple times a year, ugh....

You don't use it often, but also regret the sale.

Would keeping the bag be worth sacrificing your account reputation?

If so, then keep the bag and issue a refund to the buyer.

If it sparks joy, then it sparks joy.

I’ve been there on some bags even calling a reseller to send the bag back because I changed my mind. After I got it back I never used it. It’s a hard call….I guess you need to be very sure you want to sell it because it won’t be easy getting that bag again….if you really want to keep it, you could ask the buyer if you could refund the money that you changed your mind…it is a beautiful bag and use it if you keep it even if it’s just for running errands….

Sorry I'm shocked at what an ugly combination that is. On the other hand regardless of how rare, if you don't use it at all, then you shouldn't feel bad about selling. Its not the colour but the bag/design shape that we buy them for.

Oh wow!! Well, I took it out of the dust bag and put my flat wallet, Cosmetic pouch, keys, chapstick and phone in and once again remembered why I'm making the right decision to sell. I do love the look of it but DON'T love the size... logic wins I think, haha. Thanks so much for your advice

Glad that you were able to decide what you want to do, and hopefully you will be happy. I just wanted to say, no matter how rare or hard to get a bag is, if it doesn’t spark joy and happiness, and you hardly ever use it then I would consider letting it go. There is no point in it gathering dust and sitting there as an ornament. I’m sure there was a reason why you wanted to sell it, and you just have to remember that again. If it was me, I would sell it and you got a buyer so it’s meant to be.

It sounds like the perfect bag for your imaginary life where you only need a card case, phone and key.

if it helps, many years ago I rehomed a balck and white graffiti alma in your size. I don’t regret this.

I did keep a larger one, but I knew it would mainly be closet decoration.

I totally understand how you feel but would not consider this an example of a bag where you would ever recoup the original price paid with the number of uses. I say focus on the new bag that you intend to buy with the proceeds from this sale.

Don’t have sellers remorse… if you are not 100% sure you want to sell it then don’t. Issue a refund to the person who paid the deposit and apologise profusely. Explain that you have changed your mind.
