Resellers getting Chanel items first and selling for premium

As long as the sharing is with true Chanel lovers and not greedy resellers that will mark a bag up $1500-$3000 over retail :annoyed:

Hopefully it stops personal shoppers who “give up their space for a customer” too. I’ve seen so many posts in Facebook groups where the PS will swap out her name for someone to take the spot (for a fee of course). But these PS are on multiple lists around the country. I’m assuming this electronic system will prevent that. Because there will either be a log of that person being added and removed multiple times or the SA will have to indicate on the system that Jane Smith has canceled her reservation. And maybe it will show on her profile. (Do we know if the reservation system lists links to our customer profile?) At most the personal shopper will be able to refer that person to an SA to be added to the electronic system. Fingers crossed.
 
I had to share these posts that I saw on Instagram from that.collection lol. Apparently they are talking about their new policy regarding clients being too nitpicky or whatever… and also trying to justify why they charge premiums. I get what they are saying - but I think they could have been more professional about how they approached it. I just find this to be overly dramatic and quite tacky. Here are the posts:

This lady was trying to befriend me before. Making small chats but She is so rude and very pushy. I posted in my stories then that i wanted a certain bag and she messages me that she has a lot of it but knowing or seeing her “attitude” on her post and just by the way she post I didn’t want do business w her. So i said i was already chatting w this other lady. She then messages me a few days after asking me if I already bought it. I said no im still giving it some thought and dont wanna give in the fomo attitude. If its for me and its for me.. she was like, i SHOULDNT think that way. And what is taking so long for me to decide. In my head, jeeez this person isn’t even the person im deal with and she is giving me an attitude already.. I proceeded to say my stand that I don’t just buy for the sake of buying. I buy in my own terms as long as I didn’t commit to the seller.: and just merely expressed my interest, i dont see the point of her or whoever getting annoyed or impatient. I then unfollowed her.

Wow… she had some real nerve to behave like that towards you.. and the fact that she was being so pushy is definitely a red flag. I’m actually glad that she acted like a jerk on her IG stories - she basically outed herself lol. I unfollowed her too after I saw that in her stories lol. Thank you for sharing your experience… it just further validates her unprofessionalism.

She also posts in chanel fb groups rudely or passive aggressively towards others when someone posts about lets say their frustration on not getting a bag and resellers have it. Or how unfair they cant get their dream Bag and have to pay so much in a middle person when they can just get themselves if the reseller didn’t get everything.. she would then respond as if this person was asking her opinion hehe.. I just know she isn’t someone i want to be associated with.
 
Wow! I once messaged her on IG, I said hi and asked her about the price of the item, she just threw a number back at me didn’t say anything else, I got weird feeling didn’t go ahead with the purchase, glad I didn’t and I’m not the only one felt that way. Wonder what’s her FB ID? I would avoid purchasing from her in the future

same...wondering who she is..
 
I don’t understand why people would ever pay over retail for items from resellers? I’ve noticed one of the FB groups has started to slowly adopt finders fees and is trying to normalise this behaviour which is frustrating.
because they have money and spending a few hundred dollars is not a big deal to them in order to get what they want...not saying it is right, but that's the reason why resellers exist...because people allow them to.
