Just sent you a PM
FYI -- Apparently, Fashionphile stopped accepting Cities. It'll be interesting to see if they give you a quote on the Velo

Oh wow, I didn’t know that. I haven’t been in the forum for awhile since my job has gotten so busy. Is it because of the super fakes? That’s crazy they don’t sell them anymore, such a staple for balenciaga lovers. I’m too scared to sell on eBay. I’ll let you know if FP gives me a quote.

I'm still seeing Cities pop up on FP here and there like this one today, but they all seem to be the more "recent" ones.

while I can't say for sure, I've heard from other people that they had newer ones rejected too
Maybe they're talking certain styles from certain seasons and later
I do know they've been slow to move and I've heard they're had a lot of returns

So they get a lot of returns / slow movement and their solution is to stop accepting them - rather than consider maybe Cities wouldn't get returned if they were in the condition described, and they might move faster if people weren't worried about whether or not the description was accurate???? :facepalm:

Are we differentiating between the flat hobo and the besace?

... and Raised Hardware Besace vs. Giant Hardware Besace vs. Covered Hardware Besace........... 🫠

So many variables!

@clumsiest, Flat Brass Hobos are very rare and were released for 3 seasons (FW 01/Le Dix (to my knowledge this was only stripe/vachetta though?), SS 02, FW 02).

Raised Hardware Besaces are rare and were released for 3 seasons (FW 02, SS 02, FW 03) - you can tell them based on the pewter/silver hardware and tassels for the zipper pull.

Giant Hardware Besace and Covered Hardware Besace are lightly uncommon, but come on the market now & then and most times sit on the resale market for a little longer than the other two - you can tell these based on, well, the giant hardware and they will have leather tabs for zipper pulls rather than tassels.
