Oldies but goodies: A Legacy West Tote and some kind of bleecker looking shoulder bag style 6010 which I can't find a name for. Won BOTH for $32.00. But used my ebay bucks so actually paid $12 plus shipping for both . woot!
I love "two-fers" and bundling! Great finds and a great price - congrats!
How cute!
I love the size and color of this bag - and I am a total sucker for pebbled leather!
Congrats on your new lovely! I love the color of this bag! Congrats!

Great deal!
Love the colors!
Congrats and great price!! I have her big sister the Leigh. I really love it! I also had one just like this one of yours, but her previous owner had treated her terribly poor thing, and she had to be machine washed and held up surprisingly well, thankfully. So,a little water wont' hurt her if you prep her. I ended up selling her since It was too small for me. Enjoy!! spray her with some kind of rain garde.
A lot of times, my deals are BIN, but my "secret" is communicating with the seller and making offers. More often than not, my offers are rejected or go unanswered, but for the deals I do get, it's definitely worth it!
One thing that works in my favor is that many sellers have no clue what the "market value" of their bags are, so even if their listed price is pretty low, I always ask if they'll go lower and I always say that my "offer" includes the shipping price. Also, if an item is ending soon and it's an auction without bids, I say something like, "I saw that the listing will end in less than an hour and there aren't any bids. If it doesn't sell, would you consider $xx?" So on one hand, sometimes I get lucky and the bag doesn't sell and the seller accepts my price after the auction ends, but a lot of times, I "miss out" on bags because someone else bids. At that point, I could bid and pay the listed price, but I get this set number in my head of what I am willing to pay and won't go over.
However, for this bag, there was a reserve on the price and she had had the bag listed previously. After the auction ended, I asked her if she would consider selling it for the price it sold for and she accepted.
To sum it up, yes, a lot of my finds are technically BIN, but they start out as auctions that don't sell or the seller agrees to add a BIN price for me. HTH!
I just wanted to thank you for posting this advice. I just tried it for a fob and it worked! It wasn't that I got a particularly great deal, but there were very few on eBay and there was a set amount that I wanted to pay. Thanks again!
I am glad it helped you! My thought is - the worst they can say is no; in this case I'm glad your seller said yes!
Please post a picture when you get it - I'd love to see your new treasure!

How pretty! I'm sure she will love it!
It's gorgeous! I'm sure your mum will love it! The ebay seller didn't make much of a profit on it unless it was cheaper at the outlet than on FOS.View attachment 2148940View attachment 2148941

It's a beautiful bag and I'll bet she will flip when she sees it. Very sweet and thoughtful of you to remember that she liked it.
