Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I understand that seller's want to make a few bucks but gosh that's highway robbery! Sometimes they do that if theirs is the only one listed at the time.
So what's your best recent ebay score?

I've done that too! All I had to do was wait a little while and the prices would come down. Sometimes I'm too impatient. I paid almost FP for my Poppy sapphire hippie. That was before I was getting PCEs. I also bought a keychain at an inflated price and then found it at the outlet the next week.
But there are other times when the bidding got too high for me so I stopped, and I've never found one that went that cheap ever again.

I've gotten:
Black smaller Sabrina for $72
Black "C" embossed Sophia for $149 (this one was kind of an ouchie,but considering it was $498 at one point- oh well!)
Pearl grey laser-cut Sophia for $135
All were is mint condition, I actually think the grey one is NWOT, it's immaculate
I bought all of these this month plus 3 from FOS...I need to stop! I did sell 5 of my older bags so I guess that kind of evens out right?

Wow! You guys have been busy!
Amazing hauls!
I got a black Lindsey for less than $200 shipped in awesome pre-owned condition.
I got a black nylon Sophia for $104 shipped that I sold immediately-too small
Then yetserday I thought I had a good one coming-a large gathered black sophia with brass.I know there was no strap but the bag had been overstuffed for some time and the gathers were blown out. The brass was nasty too. I told the seller I was sending it back and it turned out she got it 2 weeks ago and hated it for the same reason.So she was duped by her seller and then passed it off on me. that was $260 shipped. She refunded me before I coukd get it packed up.

Congrats on your Lindsey but sorry to hear that the others didn't work out. I'm glad that you had a seller that was easy to work with. Some sell bags like that knowing what's wrong with them and are impossible to work with until a case is opened.
Very true...but when she told me that she got that bag off ebay less than 2 weeks prior,I checked it out and no,she got a parchment for the same price she sold me the crappy one for.So she basically lied about it all and got busted.

Mmm...maybe not. Unless you have access to her account you cannot know all the bags she has purchased....or sold. The only ones you can find out about are through feedback and not all sellers or buyers leave feedback......been there and tried that too.

I checked her items bid on though she may have 2 accounts.
Oh! I didn't realize that you could see all the stuff that she bid on. My bad! It's been a long time ago that I tried my little 'detective' work and you couldn't access nothing of nobody's except their feedback back then....this was after the time you could find out all information on members except stuff like CC numbers, nothing much was private at one time. That's not really surprising though, seeing as ebay changes daily....and not always for the better.....um, usually not for the better.
Right now, specifically, is that damn floating blue thingie that tells you how many people view that item per hour.....and we care about how many view an item per hour WHY?!
Here is my new to me parchment Issy -$75 shipped. She is perfect other than missing the longer strap, which I don't use anyway! I moved right in as you can see!
I hate that! I think it is supposed to make you feel an urgency about buying it, i.e. if a bunch of other people are looking at it, you better jump before they do!Oh!

Fantastic deal! I don't use the long strap either. I love the gold hardware. A gray Isabelle NWT just sold for $212.50 plus shipping.
