I just said goodbye to my epi alma and vernis sunset boulevard in pomme. I'm having second thoughts about the sunset boulevard but they're fleeting. I know I won't use the SB as much as I think I would especially now that I don't go out anymore.

Hi there - I am curious... where are you that you don't go out anymore? I shared a little heartache for you over the Sunset Boulevard. I hope the reason you are not going out anymore is not due to the Covid situation in your area.

I find myself gravitating toward shoulder bags and not using my top handle bags. While I have a strap for my Alma, it’s still not a bag I reach for. Anytime I would grab the Alma, I end up grabbing my Chanel Jumbo instead.

I really try to limit how much is in my closet so I tend to part with things that I don’t use frequently. It’s such a gorgeous classic bag, but I feel guilty that it just sits unused in my closet. The only things really holding me back from selling it are keeping it for a little variety and what I expect to be very low resale value even though it’s only a few years old and in excellent condition.
A small profit, I chose to sell outright instead of consign. I used Ann’s Fabulous Finds, but Fashionphile offered me almost the same exact amount. AFF pays faster. I definitely don’t think it’s worth $3400 but I saw Fashionphile selling for that too. I don’t think they’ll be as in demand next year, so if you’re not in love with yours definitely get some quotes!

AFF is fantastic. I actually know her. Really lovey forthcoming lady. Very knowledgeable and down to earth.
 
Wow - you got some great bargains

They’re out there. I shop the way the OP does. It takes patience. A lot of it. And for me, I always have a hard line in place price wise. I won’t cross it. I have to know that if it’s for my personal collection, if I choose to sell it I’ll make money. And if it’s a project bag I plan on flipping, I need to make money as well. It really is a discipline game though. Picked up a noir epi speedy a week ago with lock and key for a BO of $250. It arrived, I conditioned it and shined up the metal and it’s perfection. I’d sold one years back and regretted not keeping it. Took me years to find one at the price-point and condition I wanted. I love it all the more though.

I am the same.

For the past few years I'd use the SB once a year for a fancy Christmas party and last year I took my Chanel mini instead. I'd rather have things in my closet that I use frequently. Even my daughter said she doesn't see herself using it and the decision was made.
