Reveal Etiquette

I like "Thank you for sharing my joy/excitement" a lot!Thank you for sharing my joy/excitement, maybe? I don't like the "letting me" part, you already let yourself share on your own accord, then you thanking for letting you? Why?
Anyhow, that's my opinion, thank you for letting me have it
As a newbie to this forum, I totally agree with a bit of a reluctance to share with so many of you that have breathtaking collections. My little additions are dwarfed in comparison! Hence, I haven't done a "reveal", just kinda "post and run" on an active thread.
What I love about BBC and textielgirl's comments are the recognition that without all you lovely ladies and gents that generously share, this forum would be quite dull. After all, who doesn't love some new eye-candy!! Plus, I can't even imagine how I would have learned so much without you all.
Thank you (for letting me share my humble opinion
)
Love your pearls of wisdom Madam. I think they are trying to be polite and say I am simply sharing my bag with you and not showing it off.
+1 and I actually remember reading it when a tpfer shared pics of an expensive exotic bag. English is not my mothertongue but for me it reflects being friendly, polite and not showing off.

Tpfers sometimes write " carry your bag in good health " something which I wasn't used to, but I guess it's a language/culture thing. I like reading it even if I don't use it a lot myself.
I totally agree with this. In my 'real world' very few if any people get the excitement or why I would even contemplate getting my purchases. I can't wait to show someone who understands and coming here is amazing! My preowned bags are not as exciting as a brand new fresh out of the box reveal (or at least I imagine they're not) so I pop them onto the relevant threads and I'm thankful that at least someone out there understands and shares my excitement without thinking I'm showing off or conversely getting excited about nothing! Everyone here has been so supportive and lovelyAs a newbie to this forum, I totally agree with a bit of a reluctance to share with so many of you that have breathtaking collections.

You couldn't be more wrong; the best reveals are carefully sourced opportunities that were never expected; they have real joy and appreciation of what has been acquired.
I'm with you.
But the one that gets me is the and "here she is with rest of my humble collection" cue 20-50 exotic Bs/Ks/Cs SOs all in a bespoke M2M walk-in wardrobe with back-lit shelves.
It's not humble if you have more and better bags than the KKs all put together, and whatever your collection, it's not humble if you point out it's humble. That's not how humbleness works.
Preowned can sometimes be more exciting. I have personally hunted down and acquire bags that are no longer available for sale and once I get them it is a huge moment. When the bag is a work of art it does not matter if it is new, preowned or exotic.

I don’t regard exotics as “better” than any other material. It’s all a matter of what each collector likes.
Best quote regarding humble that I know: “You can tell the men from the boys by the size of their toys.”

Yes; I think that's the only way to justify the price too.
They are works of art that can be admired for what they are disregarding any usefulness
They are beautiful artefacts created over many hours by a skilled artisan.
