Anyone else feel like the era of cheap bags from Japan has passed us by? $3500 for an Ardoise City??
(and that's not a typo- seller has an Anthra City for $2500)
Yep…and equally annoying…the influx of dozens of over priced Bals from a couple of professional sellers on Posh. It’s difficult to try to wade through them.
 
I don’t understand the same bag being listed by 3 different Japanese sellers at 3 different prices.
Apparently, they list bags that are being sold by 3rd party, so most of the time, they don’t actually have the bag in hand (so the 3rd party has the bag for sale, these sellers then resell it and when they have a buyer, they buy the bag from their source). When someone buys or wins an auction, all the other listings for the same bag are ended. I’ve bought from a few Japanese sellers and its been an easy/pleasant experience. Once the bag was more worn than described/photographed and they took it back and refunded my money, no questions asked. Shipping is almost always fairly fast (there was one exception).
 
Hi

Can I have your opinion - what would be a reasonable price for this bag?
I think it’s a First (2002?), measures 33 cm x 18 cm x 7 cm.
No strap
Tassels are broken
Including mirror.
Otherwise good condition, clean and no holes or tears.

Would appreciate your opinion, thanks 🙏😊⭐️
