I've never understood sellers who aren't willing to answer questions and provide pics. Makes no sense at all! Unless they're hiding something...

Though I agree with everything being said here, and I pretty much do answer all questions & take the extra pics requested, there are several occasions where I do that & don't get a thank you. I know I shouldn't expect it, but extra pics are extra effort & a thank you would be nice. I'm sure there are seasoned sellers who preempt that by just not bothering :hrmm:

Fair enough, i agree that with some buyers/sellers there's a total lack of manners!

I agree with both of you.

As a buyer, I'm kindly asking questions about something, thank in advance and hoping for a friendly reply. And I want to know, if the edges of a bag are ok, especially when pIctures don't show it. As well as if theres a certain smell.
To say "look at the pictures" "again look at pictures" is annoying...
Take your time for those questions, if you like to sell your bag.

As a seller, I'm worried about people asking in a rude tone, about people that are willing to drop the price immediately (over 100€ and things like that) and about people -like you said, dear jeanstohandbags- who are not able to say thank you.

As the question, so the answer.
(No rule without exception :eek:)

One of the things I love the most about Bal bags are the way the handles attach to the body of the bag. So sublime and elegant! Especially the newer Tote bags. Just a thin strap. I look at a lot of bags, like Givenchy and some of the Celine bags, that have a large leather cover "hiding" where the handle attaches to the front of the bag... and return to Balenciaga every time!

That must be a joke? Very good condition? Does anyone at Vestiaire check the uploads? I wrote a comment and the seller confirms "very good condition" :whut: I wonder if anyone is going to believe that...

I like your comments on Vestiaire :biggrin:

I see listings like this all the time. My favourite is a 2005 (? an oldie anyway) black City that looks like it's been dragged on the ground but the seller is still asking about 1800 USD. last time I looked. :rolleyes:

It's the same with consignment stores. Some are excellent with describing condition. Some are, well, not...

So, today I was shopping at Costco and noticed a saffiano Prada tote displayed and thought I'd walk over and check it out... well, surprise! My eyes immediately caught site of a 2017 Balenciaga Small Bazar Shopper Tote in black. For $799. I asked about it and the sales person (not a Costco employee) assured me it was authentic although she didn't know anything about Balenciaga or any of the other bags (MK, Prada). I looked at it and just could not believe it... I just saw these at Neimans in Palo Alto last week and they were NOT $799! Anyone have any experience with Bals at Costco?? (I did not buy it only because it was black and I don't need another black bag - the pink floral print tote is calling my name!)
