Resellers getting Chanel items first and selling for premium

I can't buy the newbie paranoid theory if they reached out to the Sa number 1 who could also be reached by calling into a major department store and transferred to the Chanel boutique. Still seems suspicious when you refuse to give at least your first name as at least a friendly guester once this font made contact with the Sa with the info I gave them. Now the font locates the merchandise and now they are thinking about purchasing? I also being nieve gives Sa number two information to this font that requested second hand bag also. Two different Sa two different locations. After the interaction with Sa number 1 this font doesn't bother to respond back to me via pm which could have destroyed my relationship with my Sa if we didn't have a friendly relationship. Even as a newbie I'm sure the Sa would have explained the process of having a history to do a phone purchase. Like conversations was discussed in these threads about post history and interactions and recent join dates I'm going to be a lot more cautious about giving out Sa information. For me lesson learned.
This I totally agree.. there are few times I would reach out to SAs that I never dealt with before. First thing I do is introduce myself n who referred me to contact them. I also know when I reach out I am 100% committed to buy. One time I was a bit paranoid paying thru the phone n text because the cell phone number area code does not match up to the SA location So the SA send me the payment link which I paid immediately because it has the logo and ID of chanel.

I believe in the US it's 1 Classic and 1 non classic per month with no more than 6 classics and 12 total per year. This is what I heard last summer/fall...nothing is enforced universally at Chanel. I imagine there are all sorts of loopholes...:panic:
This season is one of my favorite seasons since I love spring/summer colors, hoping they allow me to purchase 2 CFs for this month since I haven’t bought anything since 21A. :hrmm: Fingers crossed!

Oh…I completely understand. I think they should just make it 3 every 6 months or 6/year and just enforce the limit that way instead of monthly.

Its easy to skip a collection and then fall for multiple items in another…but then again Chanel and logic don’t always mix!

There should be a way to limit reselling without impacting dedicated customers. I hope you get yours!

I was trying to use that same logic on my SAs like ohhhhh I didn’t buy any bags in December or January, can’t I get two bags this month and they were all like nice try :sad:
 
I know this is off topic here but I just wanted to respond to your post and put this out there for all once and move on.

@hedgwin99 Thank you for saying this! I’ve been wanting to say all this but never got a chance to say… You are completely right! It’s my discretion to respond. Sometimes I receive too many messages I may have missed some or sometimes it’s not available so I didn’t get back. BUT the main reasons that I’ve been ignoring some people here are: no courtesy and rude when they come to me to ask for info or SA contact. As you all know, everybody is busy and have their own life too but I devote about 70-80% of my time on this forum just to help people out as a courtesy. So in return, I expect people to come to me with courteous bcuz I’m not your SA or your slave so don’t treat me like one! To me it’s a common courtesy when you ask for help. I’m more than happy and willing to go extra miles to help courteous and respectful people!

Another reason I ignored people are the new members who just created an account to stalk the stock thread to ask for SA contact. A few of my SA’s told me that many people I referred to them from this forum are resellers so don’t send people to them anymore… so I’m even more hesitant to give out my SA contact.

Lastly, sometimes people pm me for SA contact by just saying something like they want SA contact for the wallet I posted without telling me which wallet, color, pic and link to my post. Only God knows what they are looking for and I had been responding back to so many to ask for details and such but I’m getting tired and I really don’t have time to message back and forth to ask for more details. SO if one comes to me without enough details AND pics AND link to my post I’ll not respond.

THANK YOU!
I really understand you. You must get so many messages and if people are not even saying Please and Thank You, I would be annoyed too.
I am very glad and grateful for all the photos and information you post here. So: THANK YOU ❤️
 
Soooo. This seller doesn't physically have the merchandise yet? I hope they are not asking for deposits up front.

I currently have a deposit down for a personal shopper but it isn’t a guarantee unfortunately. I was able to find the heart bag through the forums though!

I'm pissed off. I'm going to start posting text messages from a Sa that I probably referred a reseller or ps from off this platform. I THOUGHT I was doing right by helping fonts in the thread I'm looking for this.....I saw the merchandise and pm the font. I had my own pictures and I contacted the Sa to see if the item is still available. I contacted the wrong Sa who responded back and sent me pictures of the same item different handle same color. The first Sa responded back and I told them I'm referring someone. This font pmd me back saying they are interested in the second bag also. Sa number one is asking me the fonts name which I find odd???!!!!. Sa number one texts me back that this person isn't giving their name. I'm like WTF???? Now I see why @nat74 is being cautious of giving out Sa information. This font is probably not local to the two areas I gave information to. My Sa number one is going to tell me how this plays out when I had to apologize and tell her I have no intention of sending resellers or ps to her. View attachment 5356838

What is a font? Is that slang for a person?
