HI everyone! Stopped in to chat...I was at TJ Maxx this past week and saw a Balenciaga Papier Mini in neon green for $600, red tagged for clearance. Talked to the sales associate, she was able to get it down to $500, but I am on a self-ban since I bought a Bal bag in December and also some Louboutins. It is very, very bright green like this:

I would buy it if it was $300, but can't pay more right now for it. I will keep visiting the bag and hoping it goes on lowest "yellow tag" clearance!

It seems like all these great oldies are showing up on EB these past couple of weeks. (Too bad I don't have any purse funds right now :(). Does this happen every now and then? So if one is patient, one will eventually find one's HG in great condition. I was just wondering why so many all at once from a few sellers. Maybe people are cleaning their closets?

I wish there is a TJMaxx runway store near me.

i *think* i've been seeing those same ones on ebay and i also think i saw several of those recently listed on other resale sites. my guess is that someone bought them and is now reselling them for profit.

Thanks -- good to know. I don't check all the resale sites. The prices do seem high -- I thought maybe because they are so rare/old. Thx

I saw a seller on eBay who was selling about 10 Bal Work:s and make-up clutches in amazing colours and condition- and some other designer bags as well. The seller was in the US and I'm looking for City:s so... And there's a 2004 black city on eBay UK (I think). I just hope that when someone is selling they are just ready to let the bags go and not because they have to.

I love Bals as much as a newbie can, but after thoroughly searching sale sites and webbshops for months now looking at Bal after Bal in all their variations I don't think that buying Bals and reselling them for profit is a very good idea. Many bags get relisted over and over again and I guess if you are selling you either have to lower your price or just decide to keep your bag yourself. I'd definitely be willing to pay for my HG:s if they are in excellent condition but really, supply and demand applies equally to buyers and sellers.

I think if you have an older Bal (2008 and earlier) in excellent condition, you won't take a hit IF it's a coveted color, and you were the original owner. The bags were cheaper back then so you should be able to sell it for close, if not, what you paid. But the key is excellent condition. Most older bags are not.
But the majority of Bals are selling for way lower than they should though, it's like a fire sale is going on.. sigh..
