Hi gals,

I have a bag to sell but it belonged to a smoker. how much do you normally take off the price 10% 25%.

The bag would probably go for about $2,000 if it wasn't for the smoke smell.
What do you think?
 
I think that I would try to get rid of the smell before selling it. You are just asking for trouble selling a stinky bag. I know that I have read several "tricks" on ridding the nasty smells here on tPF, so maybe do a search, see what comes up and go from there.
 
I would not sell it without getting rid of the smell first. I think you're risking your reputation as a seller. Even if you declare it in your auction, it's still kind of risky because smell is very subjective. Just my opinion..
 
I would just do my best to get rid of as much smell as possible then sell the bag with full disclosure. Maybe a smoker won't mind the smell and will buy the bag. You are going to get less for it but at least you are being honest about the condition.
