I would try and remember all the reasons you sold the bag in the first place!!!
Well, wrong hardware. And I have other bags I love more.
I guess I'm also shocked that after the eBay and Paypal fees, I was left with such a tiny amount for the condition of the bag!
I remember it is not the only bag in the world. Something else more beautiful will come along soon enough.
If you haven't sold very often, it's normal to second guess what happened and how the money actually shook out. Learn from this that reselling is generally a money loser, and also that that is okay because the bag wasn't working and at least you have funds now. Get over the money loss part, and/or sell much less often in the future.
I sold my speedy 30 in mono at half the price I paid for and used it only a handful of times so it was in pristine condition.
Sometimes I wished I never sold it as I bought it while on holidays and also the day I got engaged so I guess it was a 'sentimental' reason. Oh and it was also my first ever lv bag!
But then I think about the fact that I never carry it cos I figured I can't handle a bag without a shoulder strap. And then even after trying it with a strap I didn't like how it looked, felt it was too big. And every time I see it in the closet I just cringe that it's just sitting there.
Anyways that's a long story. I eventually bought a speedy b 25 that I love!

I have sold and rebought the same bag. Terrible, I know. But when I buy it the second time, I know it’s a keeper since I figured I couldn’t live without it! For example, 2 years ago I bought a Henri Bendel Jetsetter backpack and then sold it. I have since repurchased it!
