I’m on a buying spree, but also on a selling spree.
It helps that I had a great chat with my mom, who also used to be passionate about bags (she’s elderly now, and doesn’t really go anywhere anymore) and she said she understands how I’m reluctant to let things go, but it’s not a handbag if it stays in the closet. I never thought of it that way!
She said to just go ahead and sell stuff, even at a loss, because if I’m buying things for such great prices, then the loss is canceled by the purchases. Thanks, mom! I will list more things tomorrow.

Your mother is a smart woman.

I think of it as ‘past money’…you’ve spent it and no length of time the bag lives in your closet will bring it back.
 
Speaking of buying, I find it very frustrating when I accept an offer and the buyer doesn’t pay.
I’ve never done that, but I guess others think it’s ok.

And I’m still kicking myself for not buying a certain red First when I had the chance.:facepalm:

About 1/3 of my accepted Best Offers on eBay are no pays. About 1/4 of accepted offers on Posh and Mercari fail at the payment. It’s MADDENING.
