It's a lot of money!! But someone else was willing to pay that much on shop goodwill! This ebay listing also accepts offers. So, someone could offer less and maybe get a deal.I bet it won't get any bids.
That was listed a month or so ago and the starting bid was 799. No one bid on it then either.Another hasp bag for sale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275478024109

I’ve noticed that Goodwill auctions go for much higher - even black Willis’ - but on eBay, some auctions can’t even get a bid.
I find that perplexing.
Why does that bring about trust issues with Goodwill? I’m not following your logic. Not being sarcastic or snotty.Hence my trust issues with shopgoodwill
All the reasons you stated- makes me suspicious. Who knows who is bidding? Usernames are hidden and there is no rating system like on eBay- no way to find out if a bidder is an actual human or a bot. But I have trust issues anyway lolWhy does that bring about trust issues with Goodwill? I’m not following your logic. Not being sarcastic or snotty.![]()
Gotcha. Now I understand what you’re saying. Perhaps I’m wildly naive because bots on Goodwill never even entered my mind. There isn’t an “esnipe” for Goodwil - and it’s very easy to get into a bidding war unless you go in at the last few seconds.All the reasons you stated- makes me suspicious. Who knows who is bidding?

too bad you don’t live close. I have a rehab pile and it keeps on growing.Re-rehab any bags you weren’t happy with the first time around perhaps?![]()
I am so envious of people who have a pile waiting for rehab!too bad you don’t live close. I have a rehab pile and it keeps on growing.
ETA: oops! I was trying to reply to @Narnanz
At first I thought, my rehab pile is sort of cringey/embarrassing, but then I thought, yeah, it is fun!I am so envious of people who have a pile waiting for rehab!
I bought a photo prop today! It proves my intent since I'm always saying I'll try to take a photo. At about 2:00 in the afternoon the sun shines just right on my patio and once I gather up some sugar maple leaves I should be able to get a beautiful fall shot tomorrow.Pretty please!!!Or you could do the inspired concrete front doorstep photo shot! With a random leaf or two.
I would do it too...if only I wasn't at the bottom of the world.too bad you don’t live close. I have a rehab pile and it keeps on growing.

I am just seeing this and I don’t know what you plan on doing but I adore the patina and wear of your Lime Green Regina here. It’s so interesting how some colors fade. I love how I see the original color poke though on the edges here and how the hangtag screams the original color. Of course, you need to be happy with it but just wanted to say beautiful bag!!Hi, I would like to seek some advice on vintage Coach bag restoration. Is color restoration possible? As I had been inform by the shop that unfortunately the bag is non-pigmented leather and color restoration is not possible. It is only possible with pigmented color dye.
As I don't have much knowledge on leather goods, so I would like to confirm if Coach vintage bag are made by non-pigmented leather so that I can provide better details of the bag condition when asking for quotation on the restoration? Here are some photos of the bags...thanks in advance
