Resellers getting Chanel items first and selling for premium

I haven't checked this thread in a while, and just read through the most recent few pages... I was kind of assuming that the VIPs wouldn't apply to the 1 bag per month limit (including resellers).
But do you guys feel like the 22c thread is in fact updating a bit slower than the previous collections? I remember not reading for like 3 days in the previous seasons and would have 10 pages to catch up lol. Which makes me wonder if a lot of those members were resellers, and this final price increase has finally driven SOME of them out of the game now. Thoughts?
(*not denying the fact that multiple price increases in the same year is just ridiculous and excessive of course)
Chanel also closed those 2000 accounts...
 
That part I’m not sure about. I feel like every store is different in regards to reservations. Many people here are saying reservations are now limited, which doesn’t surprise me. I’ve personally not been affected by reservations but I’m also that person that stalks TPF and online and get on lists long before most people do and I’ve also never had more than one type of bag on reserve at one time. Prior to the current changes I would put myself on multiple lists across several stores to ensure a bag, and it sounds like that isn’t possible anymore.

My SA also told me that when you don’t have a strong relationship or purchase history with a trusted SA and pass on a reservation, you will often not be put on the reservation list again even if they tell you you’re on it. That part I think is ridiculous because often times with seasonal bags, you can’t tell for sure what they’re going to look like until they arrive in stores. But then again I’m sure there are people who get on multiple lists for multiple bags only to not be serious about purchasing.
I have always gotten my reserves before up until 21k. I didn’t order anything for 22c and had some reservations for 22p and 22s… i think what tracysh is saying is unfortunately true… my SA is very good with reserving and i feel i have purchased not just bags but slgs, custom jewellery, one fine jewellery only though and a few rtw, but i have only been working w this SA for almost 3 years so i feel the SA has more established relationship and bigger clients to take care of. I feel sad that this happened. And now it will be much harder for me to build a relationship with this SA with this new policy

No not from Chanel corp. Each boutique also has their own gifts they can send out. So you might get your Chanel corp gift and a boutique gift. Or a boutique gift but not Chanel corp if you're only spending $$ on leather goods/ shoes/ costume.
Ah yes, you are correct… i got a gift but i feel its just from the SA because it wasn’t the usual gift i see given to VIC… i have to say i am learning so much from you. Thank you and you kind of made me feel better.. at first I thought i did something wrong and the SA was kind of “breaking up” with me i still feel sad that i may not be anymore in the priority list as the limit is just something hard for the SA to manage with all their clients… spoils the fun for regular clients :sad:

Going forward, PRE-RESERVES (not reserves) will only be for bags over 8k and SLG over 2k..each SA gets a very small allocation for non-8k. Like 3 across all their clients at best.
Can someone break this down a little more? Ex. I had a 50% deposit at Saks for a 22C Trendy CC. The current retail is $6100. For 22S, if I wanted another Trendy, how would the new "rules" apply? TIA.
 
I would never buy from a reseller above retail.. ist just seems stupid for me to do that!! Just my opinion, don´t come for me..
Sucks that because of these greedy ass resellers people like us cant even get one at retail or are on longgggg waitlists :(
Good thing Chanel is increasing prices then so these greedy people cant make high profit in already high prices. Sorry i had to vent im so annoyed at these resellers
