I've only been on this forum for a few months, but it is clear that it is all too easy to get all caught up in the "thrill of the chase" an forget to enjoy what we already have. If we have even ONE Hermes, it is VERY special - very few people ever pay that price for a bag, and it's a very special bag as well!!! We all need to take a deep breath and enjoy what we have and then enjoy seeing what others have as well. I'm trying to think of this forum as an art gallery where I can go and see wonderful bags, even if I cannot possibly ever own most of them. It's just a joy to see them at all.
I think you did the right thing passing on the bag now. It's not like there is nothing H in your fabulous closet!!!
