Maybe it's because I've run out of bags to buy :lol:, but now I've decided to collect discontinued items :weird:. It's a bit late for me to start, but better late than never. Here's a list of the discontinued items/colors that I'm determined to get:

Monogram Klara
Lilac Epi Jasmin (this I know many of you have witnessed me agonizing over :P!)
Vernis Marshmallow Bedford (I already have an offer and am just waiting to follow through on it:cutesy:)
Mini Monogram Navy TST Josephine PM
* Mini Monogram Rose Trapeze PM
* Cherry Blossom Papillon (Red/Cream)
* Cerises Speedy 25
* Conte de Fees Musette (I'm not sure about this yet, but I'm definitely considering it :yes:)

So what say you, ladies? Am I crazy for going on a mad hunt only now for all these items? I know some of them will be extremely hard to come by, but now I'm checking eBay religiously to see if anything crops up :shame:.

* items being watched on eBay :graucho:. Which do I get first? :wacko:

Nah, with enough time you'd be able to snap them all up. The question is, can your bank account take it ? :graucho:

(I know mine wouldn't be able to !)

No, its definitly not crazy, its obvious that bags are your passion, so why not indulge?
Some of them are going to be quite hard to come by, so your going to have to keep a good eye out lol!
But others like the Cerises speedy 25 proabably isn't as hard as the others, I know there is one, availiable on Let-Trade at the moment, and there is also a Red on Cream papillion aviliable! So there is two off you list already lol! Go Check it out!
But ultimately if you wan't to go for it, I say why not? You have got nothing to lose!
I know that if I had the funds (I'm only 15 lol!) I'd definitly buy more of the limited editions, as they are just so gorgeous, and will always be worth something!
Good luck Sandra, Let me know how you get on!

i'm glad that the only color i like from the Cherry Blossom line is the red/cream, and that the only bag i like is the Papillon :lol:. and it's also a good thing that the Graffiti Speedy only comes in the 30, because if it came in the 25 i'd buy that too!

thanks Rose :flowers:. yeah i saw the ones listed by let-trade. but can i tell you a secret? my love for new/light patina has got me watching a Cerises Speedy and Cherry Blossom Papillon that are almost brand new :shame:, probably for more than what let-trade is charging

LOL sandra...I know...I"m in trouble because I like it all!
I may end up only getting one of each from the retro & pap because they're so expensive.
I really like the red/cream too...the blossoms just 'pop' out on that color combo.
BTW....the red/cream pap...is that erdr's auction you're watching? I'm watching it too and just requested pics of the inside flap screws & stamp for authentication purposes....if I get them soon I'll post them in the authentication thread :smile:

yeuxhonnetes, since you're looking for older/discontinued items, I highly recommend you search on Rakuten.co.jp (they usually ship overseas using super fast EMS) but search by reference number for the best results. There's a great chance they'll have many, but they always jack up the price so you'll be paying a lot more than retail. Sometimes worth it if you wanted something really rare and gone. Oh, and it's always authentic. My Japanese friends help me with this all the time, and in fact, I used to search/buy things from this site by myself before I could read or understand any Japanese at all (it was easy and straightforward to order, too). Keep in mind that under the listed price, if there is a line of writing in red, it means it's Sold Out.
